About 31northyachting.com
As an authorised Cape dealer, we represent buyers of new Cape 31's and Cape 26's with confidence, transparency, and integrity - backed by decades of racing experience and a genuine passion for performance sailing and our Cape Range.
Our team is made up of sailors, racers, and marine industry professionals who live and breathe life on the water. We understand the demands of high-performance sailing - from precision design and build quality to sail handling, systems, and ownership at the highest level of competition.
With extensive experience across performance yachts, we know what it takes to deliver speed, reliability, and consistency on the racecourse. That insight allows us to guide owners through every stage of Cape 31 and Cape 26 ownership—from specification and commissioning to racing, resale, and long-term support.
