Description:
Penned as Sparkman and Stephens design #1899 by Olin Stephens, the IW 31 introduced in 1969 has enjoyed popularity in the UK and Europe. Though originally intended as a half ton IOR racing thoroughbred, this boat often nicknamed a “baby Swan”, has gone on to be adapted for cruising in a myriad of derivative models. Known for her speed, close winded performance, and absolutely beautiful lines this racer/cruiser is often compared the Contessa 32.
The boat was built by the Swedish yard I.W. Varvet on the island of Orust, an island which traces its roots back to the time of Viking ships, produced a large number of yachts. Over 350 boats were produced starting around 1968 in three revisions.
The design, optimised for racing, was the beneficiary of Olin’s latest thinking in the same era of the legendary S&S 34 and Swan 36 both introduced 2 years earlier in 1967. He was a master of designing yachts to take maximum advantage of IOR rules for ocean racing.
Typical of these designs the IW 31 has pinched bow and tail sections and a tumblehome amidships, reminiscent of much larger yachts. Her sharp bow profile gives her a good bite on tacks, and a swept back fin keel carefully faired into the hull with 3400 lbs of lead in results in a balanced feeling and stability in nearly all sea conditions. Notable is the skeg rudder pushed far aft and the propellor on a P bracket forward allowing better reversing.
There is accommodation for five but belowdecks it’s reasonably cramped with very little headroom, especially in the forecabin. The interior finish was restrained, modern and perhaps a little austere and betraying the use of ply.

The offered boat has remarkable sailing capacities, especially upwind in a blow thanks to its hull shape and high ballast ratio. Its offshore capability has been proven by various offshore races and long distance voyages. “Shosholoza” has been sailed from Kiel (Germany) to Iceland and back to the Faroes without any problems. This boat looks after you. The hull is very solid built on the Swedish IW Varvet yard. The boat is equipped under the principle of simplicity and safety at sea, trying to avoid unnecessary electric components. We changed the interior (mahogany wood) slightly to create more stowing volume, making the boat very practical for a couple on long distance cruises or up to four people on short cruises. The Volvo Penta MD1 Engine failed in Gothenburg (Sweden), so we spent over 1000€ for the Volvo Penta mechanic. Finally it was found out, that the fuel pump was damaged, the spare part will be brought by us from Germany. The Deck needs some optical refurbishment, the anti-slip is still working. All winches were serviced in 2016. All the standing rigging and the halyards had been replaced in 2016. The upholstery might have to be replaced (depending on the new owners choice). A new sprayhood (2017) will be brought from Germany.
This boat is not for everyone, is needs some optical (Deck) and technical (Engine: Fuel pump) work. But any sailor who is more interested in a solid, beautiful hull with excellent sailing capacities and a boat with real character will be appreciate this attributes from the first mile on.
