Since the 1920s, the comfortable and beautiful boats designed by Ed Monk have been treasured for cuising, working and living aboard. Thousands of Monk’s fishing boats, sailboats, runabouts, tugs and power yachts have been built, mostly on the Pacific coast. His designs are renowned for their efficiency, their strength and their pleasing lines. This is a collection of Monk’s designs, illustrated with stories, line drawings and photos.
