The Scanmar 31, along with its variant the Scanmar 31 A, serves as a definitive example of the "Scandinavian Performance Cruiser" movement of the 1980s. Designed by the prolific Rolf Magnusson and built by the Börjesson Brothers in Bjästa, Sweden, this 31foot yacht was engineered to bridge the gap between a spirited club racer and a reliable family cruiser. While the Scanmar 33 garnered significant international acclaim, the 31footer was the entry point for many sailors into the Scanmar brand, offering the same highstandard Swedish joinery and robust construction in a more manageable, singlehandedfriendly package. The "A" designation typically refers to subtle layout modifications or updated deck moldings introduced later in the production cycle, though both variants share the same highperformance hull DNA.
