Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
From BlueWaterBoats.org :
The Southern Cross 31 is a no nonsense double-ender designed by Tom Gillmer, a professor of naval architecture at the US Naval Academy. The design takes influence from shapes dating back to Colin Archer’s work nearly a century earlier, and the hull in many respects is similar the straight transomed Allied Seawind 30, an earlier Gillmer creation notable for being the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate the globe. (The Allied Seawind 30 was successful enough to be updated to the Allied Seawind II)
She’s a full keeled sailboat with an outboard rudder and tiller combo, a configuration often praised for its simplicity and the cockpit is quite small, suitable for ocean passages. The cutter rig with bowsprit has 447 sq. ft. of canvas, plenty for its displacement, but being a heavy displacement boat performance is hampered in light airs. Looking on the bright side, the weight gains dividends with a comfortable motion while underway.
Two interior layouts were offered, one with a stand up navigation station over a large locker and one with quarter-berth. The overall construction quality was of a good standard, suitably strong for offshore work. The hulls were built in fiberglass with the topsides cored in Airex foam, while the deck and cabin house was cored in balsa.
In total 130 boats were built between 1976 and 1987, of which a number were sold as hull and deck kits. A slightly larger and similar Gillmer design is the Aries 32 (around 20 of these were built).

The Southern Cross 31 Sailboat
The Southern Cross 31 is a classic cutter-rigged sailboat that was designed by Thomas Gillmer and built by C. E. Ryder between 1975 and 1987.
It is a sturdy and seaworthy vessel that draws inspiration from the traditional double-enders of Colin Archer, a Norwegian naval architect and shipbuilder. The boat has a full keel, a transom-hung rudder, and a small cockpit that offers protection in rough seas. It has a spacious interior with two layout options, one with a stand-up navigation station and one with a quarter-berth. The Southern Cross 31 is a popular choice for bluewater cruisers who value comfort, safety, and simplicity over speed and performance.

read more about these all-revealing numbers...
Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Southern Cross 31
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 12.6 suggests that the Southern Cross 31 will need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 32.4 means that unless the bulk of the ballast is concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, the Southern Cross 31 will have a tendency to heel excessively in a gust, and she'll need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 389, tells us the Southern Cross 31 is firmly in the ultra-heavy displacement category. Load her up as much as you like and her performance will be hardly affected, not that it was ever startling. Few if any sailboats are built to this displacement category these days - but they remain popular with some long-distance sailors.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 37.6 suggests that crew comfort of a Southern Cross 31 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.6 tells us that a Southern Cross 31 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
Any Questions?
Is the Southern Cross 31 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built?
No, the Southern Cross 31 is not in production anymore. The production ended in 1987, after 150 boats were built.
What is the history of the builders of the Southern Cross 31 and is the company still in business?
The Southern Cross 31 was built by C. E. Ryder, a company founded by Clint Ryder in 1968 in Bristol, Rhode Island. The company specialized in building high-quality fiberglass sailboats, such as the Sea Sprite, the Bristol Channel Cutter, and the Southern Cross series. The company ceased operations in 1990 and was sold to Bristol Yachts.
What sailplan and rig options, if any, are available for the Southern Cross 31?
The Southern Cross 31 has a cutter rig with a bowsprit, which allows for a variety of sail combinations depending on the wind conditions. The reported sail area is 46.1 m² (497 sq ft), which includes a mainsail, a staysail, and a yankee jib.

The Southern Cross 31 has only one keel option, which is a long keel with a cutaway forefoot. The keel has a draft of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and a ballast of 1,995 kg (4,400 lbs), which gives the boat a ballast-to-displacement ratio of 32.3%. The long keel provides directional stability and protects the propeller and rudder from grounding.
What is the Southern Cross 31 like to sail?
The Southern Cross 31 is a heavy displacement boat that sails well in moderate to strong winds, but struggles in light airs. It is not very fast or agile, but it is stable and comfortable in rough seas. It has a well-balanced helm and responds well to the tiller. It can handle most weather conditions and has a reputation for being seaworthy and reliable.
What is the average cost of a secondhand Southern Cross 31?
The average cost of a secondhand Southern Cross 31 varies depending on the condition, equipment, and location of the boat. According to YachtWorld.com , the asking prices for Southern Cross 31 boats for sale range from US$10,900 to US$59,000 as of April 2023.
What other sailboats have been created by the designer of the Southern Cross 31?
Thomas Gillmer was a professor of naval architecture at the US Naval Academy and an accomplished designer of sailboats. Some of his other designs include the Allied Seawind, the Aries 32, the Blue Moon , the Offshore 33, and the Pride of Baltimore.

Southern Cross 31, Originally reviewed October 1975
In the early 1970s, the world of offshore cruising boats was dominated by double-ended types reflecting the designs of William Atkin. Atkin's double-enders were Americanizations of the Scottish designer Colin Archer's work in offshore lifeboats in Europe. The most famous of these American varieties is of course the Westsail 32, based on an early Atkin design, Eric. The general agreement at the time was that the best bluewater boats were double-enders with full keels.
The Southern Cross 31 designed by Tom Gilmer is a good example of the type.
Gilmer was a great designer. He had the eye. In a nutshell that's why I chose this design. It's a very good-looking boat with shapely ends and a nicely balanced and springy sheer. Gilmer took the Colin Archer type and flattened the buttocks, firmed up the bilges to add initial stability and added volume in the ends. The idea was to improve boat speed and reduce the Archer/Atkin type's tendency to hobbyhorse. Gilmer kept the trademark outboard rudder, an essential part of this aesthetic. The full keel is pulled back from the bow slightly but it still is a true full keel with a hefty D/L of 388 and a L/B of 3.26.
Keep in mind when you look at a design like Southern Cross that this was a time when "speed" was not a word associated with offshore cruising boats. There was a huge performance gap between the offshore boat of the day and the latest IOR "freak." The IOR boats were fast but they were considered dangerous by cruisers and not fit for offshore work. Heck, the IOR boats had fin keels and spade or skeg-hung rudders. That would never do. Of course, my Valiant 40 design changed that. It was essentially a hybrid design that bridged the gap between racers and cruisers. Someone called it a "performance-cruiser" and the term stuck. I remember an angry John Neale coming to my office with a "how dare you" attitude. John sails a nice Halberg-Rassy today with a spade rudder and fin keel. Times change.
At the beginning of the 1970s the ketch rig was considered the ultimate for most bluewater boats. But the cutter rig soon replaced the ketch as the standard rig for offshore work. The Southern Cross shows a well-proportioned cutter rig with a short, plank type bowsprit and a boomkin off the stern to get the backstay clear of the outboard rudder. It's not a big rig. The SA/D is only 12.57, so it would be very slow going in light air. The interior layout is as simple as it could be and near perfect to my eye today. For pure functionality it's hard to beat these old orthogonal layouts.
They don't make them like this anymore but we sure made a lot of them like this back in the 1970s and 1980s.
