1981 CAL 31

Mystic is a 1981 CAL 31, a fiberglass sloop designed for accessible cruising across a range of experience levels. The CAL 31 balances sailing performance with manageable size: at 31 feet 6 inches with a 10-foot beam, it responds well to single-handed sailing while remaining comfortable for a couple or small crew. The boat features a fin keel, spade rudder, and masthead sloop rig paired with a 16-horsepower Universal diesel engine, delivering responsive helm characteristics and straightforward sailing mechanics. Maximum speed reaches 6.8 knots, with a cruising speed of 5.5 knots.

Below deck, the single cabin provides practical living space arranged for weekending and coastal cruising. The layout includes a salon with settee berths, storage behind and beneath the settees, and usable space under the cabin sole. One head services the interior.

Amenities already aboard include air conditioning and heating, hot water, refrigeration, a two-burner stove, autopilot, flat screen TV, stereo with CD player, cockpit table, grill, and swim ladder. The boat benefits from straightforward systems and a proven design that has held appeal across decades.

Mystic shows her age and would benefit from cosmetic refresh and general maintenance work. She represents a practical platform for someone valuing function and sailing capability in an established design, with room to personalize and improve.
