Description
The Parker 31 is a cruiser-racer featuring a unique lifting wing keel that allows for deep water performance or exploration of shallow waters ideal for the East Coast. Sula has been in her current tenure for fifteen years and has received significant upgrades in that period including a new Beta 25 engine (2025), new mast, boom and standing rigging (2024)and spray hood and stack pack (2024). If you are looking for a ready to go cruiser with a performance that would keep newer boats honest, explore waterways or race, a viewing of Sula is a must.
