The BR31 evolved from our desire to make high-performance racing more accessible. It’s long been clear that there are always lengthy delays while the technology and performance seen in high-end racing trickles down to mainstream classes. The aim with the BR31 was to short-cut the process to produce a high-end, affordable racer to compete under IRC or ORC – in DLR segregated divisions. In the UK we have watched the recent explosion of the Fast 40+
class which has begun to bridge the gap. However, at around £600,000 plus running costs this level of racing is out of the reach of all but a tiny handful of good sailors. We believe an affordable, yet uncompromising low-DLR high-performance carbon racer around the £115k mark is a valuable addition to the European race market. The HP30 concept offers a framework for racing affordable fast
yachts – potentially tagging onto the elite Fast40+ programme. To us it is not unfathomable to imagine the beginnings of a return to the type of racing previously seen in the 1980s and 90s on IOR Quarter and Half Tonners and the like. Since those heady days IRC has been successful in maintaining competitive racing between production and custom yachts; however, there is a growing constituency wanting to go much faster but still with good racing. HP30 may be one solution. The creation of the BR31 involved a lot of time spent on
performance development using our own hull design and VPP software in conjunction with a full RANS CFD study. Our benchmark classes include the Farr 280, C&C30 and the more recent Cape 31. Boats will be built to order using CNC tooling with infused carbon- epoxy PVC-cored construction. The semi-custom approach allows a

Super-clean lines, light displacement but not too light for uphill grunt and forward topsides straight out of the Hugo Boss playbook
structurally efficient layout while avoiding the heavy tray mouldings that are often standard in this size range. A modern, ergonomic deck layout incorporates a raised foredeck
to improve water shedding downwind; this also adds internal volume. Combined with two pipe cots, an optional galley and toilet this helps ensure a capability for limited offshore and coastal racing. The base carbon boat is priced at £115,000 ex-sails but including
a fabricated fin with CNC-cut composite fairings, female moulded carbon rudder and stock and a fixed pre-preg carbon bowsprit all fitted as standard. Additional options include an adjustable headstay, high-modulus mast plus string take-down systems and deflectors. Ben Rogerson
