The Monkey's Fist is a 31' Norwalk Islands cruising ketch designed by marine architect Bruce Kirby and built by the Erickson Brothers. Launched in 2005 on Lake Pepin, she is a joy to sail and a thing of beauty.
This vessel features a cold molded hull comprised of laminations of Western Red Cedar and Philippine Mahogany bonded with epoxy and skinned with fiberglass cloth infused with epoxy which combines the strength and flexibility of wood with the easy maintenance of fiberglass.
Hollow Douglas Fir masts and spars finished bright with marine varnish.
Dacron sails in Egyptian cotton tint made by UK Sails of Chicago including a mainsail, mizzen sail, working jib, storm jib, and a genoa.
Bronze port lights, winches, cleats, and roller car tracks.
A 9.9 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine sits in an enclosed lazarette installed on a crane that allows the motor to be lifted form the water when sailing.
With the centerboard up she draws less than 2 feet of water, but due to the 2500 lb keel shoe, she is self-righting.
Gimbaled, stainless steel propane stove top and oven in the galley, and a propane grill for outdoor cooking. Propane tanks are located in their separate vented locker outside of the cabin.
The boat has a 40-gallon freshwater capacity with a sink and a faucet in both the galley and the head which includes a self-composting toilet.
Naturally finished woods thoughout include walnut, maple, Phillipine mahogany, Douglas Fir, Osage Orange and cedar.
Sleeps 5 persons comfortably.
The original building plans are included with the boat. Only sailed in freshwater
This is a beautiful freshwater vessel, you can tell the owners have loved her. The owner states that all systems, electronics and mechanics work as they should.
