1946 Monk Flybridge Sedan

A 46-foot classic wooden flybridge sedan built in 1946, this Monk represents post-war American craftsmanship at a time when hand-built strength and attention to detail were standard practice. Twin Isuzu diesel engines, each producing 210 horsepower, drive the boat at a cruising speed of 7.5 knots with smooth, quiet operation and responsive handling. The substantial timber construction and displacement hull form create a stable, capable platform suited to extended cruising.

The layout includes three cabins and two heads. Two full staterooms, each with a private enclosed head, provide comfortable accommodation. The galley features a Dickinson diesel stove and oven, with stainless steel double sinks and generous counter and storage space. The salon is spacious with abundant natural light and ventilation from opening windows and side deck doors, creating a bright, airy main living area.

The boat has been regularly maintained and used over eight decades. Modern electronics have been integrated thoughtfully alongside the original woodwork and cabinetry, preserving the character of the yacht while updating navigation and safety systems. The combination of traditional construction and selective modern upgrades reflects a thoughtful approach to preserving this classic cruiser while keeping her operational and comfortable.
