Carmen
Description
The Carmen 31 (also known simply as the Carmen) is a classic Australian racing/cruising sailboat from the early 1960s. It was designed by Ron Swanson (Australian naval architect known for innovative, lightweight offshore racers in the RORC rule era) and built in limited numbers, often semi-custom or owner-built in Sydney-area yards (e.g., Jim O'Rourke's boatshed at The Spit).
