Design
The Monsun is a Bermudan rigged masthead sloop with an aft cockpit and a mahogany interior. The design was based on Hallberg-Rassy's larger sister model, Rasmus 35, and was one of the first models to use Hallberg-Rassy's signature windscreen, which was innovative at the time. It has an encapsulated fuel tank inside the keel under the engine and was delivered with a 23 hp inboard diesel engine.
