1969 Monk Custom 38 Trawler

Own a piece of yachting history. This meticulously maintained classic trawler Designed by Monk and built by renowned craftsman Neil Stoll beginning 1969 and launched in 1975, Truant offers timeless elegance with a touch of wonderfully charming details.

Truant was built to endure and crafted to impress. Her impeccably cared-for wood hull is a testament to the expertise of her owners, who happen to be part of a well respected local Hardwood Lumber yard - no expense has been spared in the maintenance of Truant. Her 1 1/4" thick planks and fully epoxy bottom ensure years of smooth sailing ahead. 

Enter starboard, midships into an elegant salon, with a ample galley to port, and a well-place helm station to starboard - this position enables the Captain to remain a part of the days activities, while also being able to grab a mid-ship line with easy when docking. Two comfortable staterooms enjoy private space fore and aft of the salon - each with ensuite heads to provide ample, private accommodations for the entire family.

While easily maintaining her classic style and good looks, Truant is much more tech savvy and equipped than you might expect from a yacht of her generation. In addition to very capable autopilot, she also sports radar and new multi-display! An 8kw generator, and solar panels will keep all your devices at full charge - and the good times flowing while at anchor in Catalina, the Channel Islands, or elsewhere.
