Controversy 31
12 / 26 - score 46%
The Controversy 31 is a 31.0ft masthead sloop designed by E. F. Butler and built in wood by Mount Desert Yacht Yard since 1960.
The Controversy 31 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
