Hello!
Before I got married 10 years ago my fiancee mentioned she had a boat. I mentally patted her on the head picturing a runabout or a small sailboat. I did not expect a 40' Monk trawler. It was one of the last large wooden boats built on Canada's west coast – launched in 1982. Ten years on, despite living landlocked in Edmonton, Alberta, our large blended family has found much enjoyment, adventure and yes, even a little hardship aboard her. Until now our Monk has been kept in B.C.'s Fraser River but in August we moved her up to the head of Howe Sound to Squamish. We have just repowered with another Perkins 354 Turbo and are looking forward many more years exploring the Salish Sea, and beyond.

We are one big happy family!
