Portsmouth, Eng
$21,795
Native price £17,000
The 1973 Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 is a true classic of Scandinavian yacht design, celebrated for its strength, seaworthiness, and timeless appeal. Designed by Olle Enderlein, the Monsun 31 was conceived as a serious offshore cruising yacht, and its reputation has only grown over the decades. Built during Hallberg-Rassy’s formative years, the Monsun 31 benefits from exceptionally solid GRP construction, a deep, well-protected cockpit, and a strong encapsulated keel that inspires confidence in heavy weather. The boat’s moderate displacement and long keel deliver a comfortable, predictable motion at sea, making her particularly well suited to extended cruising and passagemaking. Below deck, the Monsun 31 offers a warm, traditional interior with beautifully crafted mahogany joinery, excellent storage, and a practical layout that works just as well for weekends as it does for longer adventures. Despite her age, the design feels purposeful rather than dated, prioritising safety, comfort, and reliability above all else. What truly sets the Monsun 31 apart is her proven pedigree. Many examples have crossed oceans and circumnavigated, a testament to the design’s integrity and capability. For sailors seeking a dependable, characterful yacht with genuine blue-water credentials, the Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 remains a compelling and highly respected choice.
