Monashee II 53’ X 28’6’’ X 5’ minikeels Alex Simonis design Semi custom M II has duel instruments in cockpit and forward facing nav. area. Apart from sail size changes the boat can be sailed and controlled from inside with a 360* visibility. Detailed lists of each locker contents and all spare parts and tools available. M II has been examined by the presidents of 2 large catamaran construction companies and described as the finest catamaran of her type and purpose that they have seen. One added that the boat was a “decadent use of space”. M II has enabled her owners to sail 50,000NM over 11 years in complete luxury, comfort, and without fear in any condition.
