What has been changed in the above layout and why....

After 10 years of cruising, two pacific crossings and a bit of bad weather, we decided to do some modifications to the layout of the Monsoon. In seas 6 ft and higher you don't want to be forward of the main mast, because of the motion, unlesss you're a real seaman, which are rare. We had 4 bunks forward and the galley. So we moved galley into salon area and made one comfortable double bed in the forward cabin. See the pictures below. Forward you'll find as well a complete bathroom with head, shower, vanity, mirror, warm and cold water etc.

When passagemaking in rough seas everybody prefers to sleep aft..... so we created a big double and 2 single beds in the captain's cabin. And added a pipe birth in the starboard guest cabin opposite of the aft bathroom. In this way creating excellent beds for 6 adults and a few kids during the longer rough weather passages. We believe this is ample and enough capacity for a "family & friends vessel" like Monsoon. During shorter easier passages and the nigths in bays and marina's people swarm out over the whole vessel....into the 2 extra double cabins forward at starboard & port that we created under the main mast, where before we had the galley ..... into the pilothouse, ....into the salon, ....the hammocks.In this way you can sleep easily 15 persons.

Salon-galley-dining. (12x14ft). On starboard side is an L- shaped sofa with a dinnertable to seat eight persons, on the portside a nice and practical galley with big fridge/freezer, icemaker, 3 burner stove, warm and cold water, microwave, toaster, blender. All around mahogany panelling with various woodcarvings and on the aft bulkhead is the entertaiment
center w/Sony TV, DVD, and stereo.
The saloon has a solid half inch teak sole.

 

The original galley area was altered into 2 x double bedrooms with lockers and bookshelves etc, the starboard one you see here on the picture right of this textblock

pilothouse of the sailing yachy monsoon

Three steps lead from the port aft side of the salon up to the raised wheelhouse (12x12ft). This area has a U- shaped lounge seat which gives comfort and seating for 8 persons and has a removable, transparant and weather-proof enclosure. Going further astern on deck level is the second steering position with a semi circle seating area for 8 persons all around the canoe stern.

Returning again from the wheelhouse down the handcarved stairway, through the lounge to the aft acomodations - directly to stbd is the guest stateroom with two single berths (and 1 pipeberth above) with drawers under and inbetween a dressing table with drawers and a large mirror above, there is a large built in bookcase to stbd and hanging lockers with louvered doors forward. Going aft down the companionway to port is a large custom build bathroom with stall shower/bath tub, vanity, head and washing machine.

Going further aft down the companionway is the master stateroom which is the full width of the vessel. It sleeps 4 persons and features one double and one 3/4 berth with drawers under both. Plus another single all the way to stb. Between the bunks is a dressing table with drawers under and a large mirror above. The berths headboards are carved mahogany. A large hanging locker to port , and to stbd is an office desk with computers, printer, etc, bookshelves, the SSB-radio and a VHF radio. Drawers underneath.
