[4] The Corvette was designed to a Cruising Club of America Southern Ocean Racing Conference (S.O.R.C.)

[4] The Corvette 31 is a small recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.

[4]In the first race it was entered in, the 1968 Lipton Cup Race held in the Atlantic waters off Miami, Florida, a Corvette 31 named Elektra II, crewed by builder Ian Morch as skipper, designer George Cuthberston, George Hinterhoeller, and Laser designer Bruce Kirby, finished first in the Class D and 24th overall out of a fleet of more than 100 boats.

[4] In the 1968 Governor’s Cup race, off Nassau in 25 kn (46 km/h) of wind, Elektra II finished first in its class.

With the swing keel all the way up, the Corvette only draws 3'3" (1m), making it an excellent boat for shallow water areas.

It is interesting to note that this boat was named after the Canadian navy's Corvette which became famous for providing convoy escort in the North Atlantic during World War II.
