Skookum Tradewinds 47
Description
The Skookum Tradewinds 47 is a heavy-displacement cruising sailboat designed by Edwin Monk Sr. and built by Skookum Marine (USA) beginning in 1973. This traditional long-keel staysail ketch was conceived as a serious bluewater cruising yacht, prioritizing seaworthiness, stability, and long-range capability over racing performance. The design represents Monk's philosophy of creating robust, ocean-capable vessels that could safely carry crews across vast distances while providing comfortable living accommodations.
