The Cheoy Lee Offshore 31 Sloop is an outgrowth of the H-28. The H-28 was originally lengthened, and the hull kept the hard chin of the early Bermuda 30's. Cheoy Lee eventually gave the Bermuda 30 a wineglass hull shape. When the offshore design came to the drawing board, the Bermuda 30 was lengthened one foot. The rudder was brought inboard and the hull smoothed out and faired. Cheoy Lee offered the Offshore 31 in the original H-28 / Bermuda 30 ketch rig. However, in addition to the ketch rig they offered this sloop rig which greatly enhanced performance as you would expect.  In addition, the cockpit actually became a pleasant place to work the boat and to lounge without the clutter of the mizzen and it's attendant standing and running rigging.
