The Irwin 31 represents a foundational chapter in the history of American fiberglass boatbuilding, bridging the gap between the aggressive racing spirit of founder Ted Irwin’s early career and the highvolume cruising comfort that eventually defined the brand. While the company produced two distinct vessels under the "31" designation—the classic 1968era cruiser and the 1980s Citation series—both share a common DNA of maximizing interior volume and providing a stable, accessible platform for coastal sailors. The original 31foot design was deeply personal to Ted Irwin; his first commercial success, a 31footer named Voodoo, dominated the Florida Ocean Racing Association in the mid1960s, winning 24 out of 28 races and effectively launching the Irwin Yachts brand.
