Monsoon is a 1978 large ocean-going cruising ketch that was professionally designed and built and is well equipped for the most demanding of open ocean voyages and has made three Pacific Ocean crossings.  

She carries all furling sails, a 185 horsepower marine diesel engine and twin diesel generators.  Monsoon has a pleasant and comfortable interior and plenty of seating in both sun and in shade.

The vessel combines the graceful lines of a modern "Philip Rhodes-style" motor sailer with the rugged and sure proven seaworthiness of the most able offshore cruiser.  She is a roomy, seaworthy and sea kindly vessel, designed and equipped for living aboard and extensive cruising in comfort and safety.  

Space and headroom are essential on a live aboard yacht. Apart from the 5 cabins (3 double + 2 twin), there are 3 separate living areas (aft deck seating - pilothouse - salon) which can provide lots of space, perfect for a live-aboard situation and those with a bigger group or family.  She is a big boat, yet she sails like a 50 footer, the sails are not enormous and the furlers are easy to operate.
