Monarch 17

Monarch 17 Trailer with Reg & WOF, professionally rebuilt in 2022 with new wheels, axles, and tyres, bearings replaced 2025 for most recent warrant.

2022 refit with all new rigging, new chain plates, new sheets, block, and halyards, new Danforth, chain and anchor rope, new nav lights fitted, new squabs made from kids mattresses from the Warehouse cut to shape.

Main sail and jib made in late 1980s but in unused condition in 2022, still in very good condition.

Full surround pulpit taken off another Monarch wrecked for parts. Also added original hatch, original tiller.

I picked her up in Evans Bay in Wellington post covid for something to learn on, stripped a wreck for parts, then relocated her to the Bay of Islands for two summers of sailing adventures. Work is now taking me to live overseas for an extended period so will be happy to pass her on to someone else to enjoy.

Easy for single handed launching and sailing, great for kids to learn on.

This early version of the Monarch had no built in portable loo, and has the centre pole instead of the later arched roof support.
