This 1977 Bombay Express is a 31-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built with a full keel, designed for coastal cruising and extended time at anchor. Her shallow draft opens access to protected anchorages and remote cruising grounds unavailable to deeper-hulled boats of comparable size. The sloop rig, solid deck and rigging, and full-keel design provide stable, predictable handling underway.
Below deck, the yacht offers generous interior volume with notable headroom throughout. The layout includes a spacious galley, comfortable berths, and substantial storage—proportions that belie her modest overall length. The cockpit is similarly roomy, suitable for relaxation or entertaining while at anchor or docked.
Power comes from a Yanmar diesel engine producing 24 horsepower, paired with an aluminum fuel tank. Steering is managed via an Edson wheel system. The electrical infrastructure includes a 110/12 volt setup, a Group 27 battery, autopilot, and dockside shore power capability for marina use. The yacht's traditional lines and proven design reflect the durability and practicality expected of the Bombay brand.
