1979 Allmand Allmand 31 Tall Rig Sloop
Allmand 31 Tall Rig, 3 Private Cabins, was $29,900, first $19,995, Survey 2015: excellent, headroom 65.
Beautiful, spacious, well-maintained, and enhanced wherever possible, this Allmand sloop is a steal. 3GM Yanmar 27hp. Diesel (2009) twice as powerful as original engine. Length 30 9, beam 11 4, Shoal draft 3 10. Originally Tom Allmands personalized boat. It has aesthetic touches and upgrades not seen in any but the most expensive yachts. Surveyor stated it was more like a 10 than a 30 yr. old boat. The spacious interior (width at WL comparable to a 40 yacht) is virtually all solid teak, including 6-panel doors between the 3 private cabins, beautiful teak parquet floor throughout, teak side paneling, shelves, bulkheads and cabinets give it a warm inviting ambience. The exterior has a roomy, T-shaped cockpit w. Edison s.s. wheel and teak table w. folding leafs for gracious cockpit dinning (both have new covers). Can be comfortably sailed in wet weather with Dodger and attached Bimini. At anchor, vinyl + mosquito netting side curtains attach to make cockpit into enclosed living space. With 35lb CQR plow and 22lb Danforth, anchoring is safe and the new Lewmar anchor windless (2014) makes it easy. It has been maintained with 2xyearly waxing, shrink-wrapped in winter, all woodwork varnished, bottom painting, non-skid repainted and reupholstered cockpit and interior cushions. All line can be lead to cockpit and controlled with 7 wenches, two of which are 2 speed self-tailing, making it possible to single hand. Surveyor states hull and deck are solid and dry, and rigging is unfrayed and in excellent condition. Much equipment updated or replaced.
We bought this boat in 1991 for family cruising, because of its spaciousness, comfort and safety. We've comfortable roomed with 3 children and all the provisions necessary to keep everyone happy, with a weeks + supply of provisions, three inflatable kayaks, fishing tackle, collapsible bicycles, etc. We've safely sailed, albeit unintentionally, in 50 kt. gales. As a tri-cabin, it can comfortably sleep seven, two in each bed (lengths 7- 64). Each cabin can be completely closed off and has its own screened hatch. Seven opening screened ports +large Plexiglas windows, and four hanging lockers. The kitchenette has stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer. Many new or replaced items. Original sale brochure, Cruising World article, description of sailing performance, and new survey are available upon request, 716-688-2461.
