Description
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.MechanicalVolvo MD 11C 17HPShaft DriveLast Serviced - February 2026 Electrical2 x 12v Batteries2 x Solar panels with voltage regulatorShorepower lead to 3 pin socketAlternator charging NavigationChartplotter - Garmin EchomapGPS - MatsutecDSC/VHF - CobraHandheld VHF - Cobra HH150Speed - Nasa Target 2Autopilot - SimradCompass Sails, Spars and RiggingMast Head rigStanding rigging - age unknown presumed to be more than 10 yearsSlab reefing main with lazy jacksFurling headsailMainsheet traveller in cockpit2 x Spinnaker halliardsRope kickerSails - Ages unknownMainGenoaSpinnaker Interior & Domestic6 berths in 1 cabin plus saloon1 x heads with pull out sinkCold pressurised water plus footpump backupRadiator heater system - untestedGalley with Oven grill and 2 ring burnerSinkWetlocker in headsFwd facing chart tableSaloon Table DeckTiller steeringGRP deck with Teack in cockpitManual anchor windlassAnchor and chainSpare kedge anchorChain locker2 x Barient 32 ST primary winches2 x Barient 10 spinnaker winches2 x Lewmar mast winches SafetyEPIRB - Requires servicingRescue HarnessHorseshoe LifebuoyDanbuoyFireblanketManual bilge pump CanvasSprayhoodCockpit enclosureSail coverTiller cover MiscellaneousDinghy - by separate negotiationLoads of spares and boaty bits collected over the years DocumentationEvidence of 5 years Clear title - Sale and purchase agreement from 2003SSR registration - ExpiredEvidence of VAT - built pre VATEvidence of RCD - built pre requirementsMeasurementsLOA: 9.36 mBeam: 2.87 mDisplacement: 4200 kgFuel Tanks Cap.: 120 LFresh Water Tanks Cap.: 160 L
