The Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 is a Swedish sailboat designed by Olle Enderlein in GRP and built between 1974 and 1982. The yacht is known for its traditional long keel, high build quality and sleek lines as a blue water cruiser. It is the best selling Hallberg-Rassy sailing boat to date with 904 hulls built.
Design The Monsun is a Bermudan rigged masthead sloop with an aft cockpit and a mahogany interior. The design was based on Hallberg-Rassy's larger sister model, Rasmus 35, and was one of the first models to use Hallberg-Rassy's signature windscreen, which was innovative at the time. It has an encapsulated fuel tank inside the keel under the engine and was delivered with a 23 hp inboard diesel engine.
Famous voyages Kurt Björklund did three and a half circumnavigations of the planet on his Monsun, 'Golden Lady', before retiring it in the Råå museum in Scania, Sweden.
