The Sound one design is a 31.0ft fractional sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in wood since 1949.
The Sound one design is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
