An Enduring Tradition Pacific Seacraft Yachts have a well deserved reputation for being among the world's finest. They routinely roam the world's oceans. They are simply beautiful. Their construction is legendary. And now Pacific Seacraft proudly introduces the newest torch-bearer of this fine heritage: The Pacific Seacraft 31. A world voyaging yacht reflecting the best of the Pacific Seacraft tradition, melded with an astonishingly innovative interior design. Outstanding Design The Pacific Seacraft 31 is a new cruising design from the board of renowned naval architect W.I.B. Crealock. She was born of the same wisdom that conceived the immensely successful Crealock 37 and 34. The 31's hull configuration, rig and under- body are very similar to her two forebears, yet she boasts a proportion- ately broader beam and longer water- line. The result is outstanding speed, comfortable motion, and superb ease of handling. William I. B.
