About the MONTEREY CLIPPER
The Monterey Clipper is a 36.17 ft masthead ketch designed by Ed Monk Sr. and built in 1975. With a displacement of 18000.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 48.12, it represents a heavy-displacement cruising platform from the mid-1970s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, heavy-displacement ketch for relaxed sailing, particularly those who appreciate the motion characteristics of a full/long keel design.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.58 and a D/L ratio of 828.04, the Monterey Clipper demonstrates strong inherent stability and heavy displacement suitable for offshore passages, though its single production year limits fleet-wide historical data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Ed Monk Sr. designs and heavy-displacement ketches from the 1970s, such as the Cal 3-36 or similar full-keel trawlers, due to the shared emphasis on stability and comfort over speed.
