Seeking Monarch 17 owners manual/users guide

[Philippe79 0]

I just purchased the monarch 17 & am trying to build up the mast/boom/sails - though am struggling as the wires aren't fitting as they should!

 

If anyone has a digital/scanned copy of the manual I would ever so greatly appreciate your kind assistance as I can't seem to find this document (only the brochure) online - many thanks in advance!

Philippe, I think you will be lucky to find any sort of manual. However, I am sure Crew.org can sort you out! Where are you located? Perhaps a local Crew.orger could come and show you how it goes together, or, failing that, we can do it remotely with pics etc.

 

Monarch 17 - Some details here http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/skipper17/index.html

Fractional rig, single spreader, no backstay.

 

Which part are you having problems with - Stepping the mast, connecting the shrouds, rig tensions, or other ?

 

We are here to help!!

There used to be a manual put out by the now defunct monarch owners association. Mine went with the boat when I sold it 15 years ago and I did not keep a copy.

I would suggest you contact Alex Bruce the technical officer for the NZ Trailer Yacht association. He is a very competitive Noelex 22 sailor and I am sure could help with general Trailer Yacht hints but also because he is Dunedin based he may have contacts from the former Monarch Owners association which was based in Dunedin.

Hi Phillippe

Not sure where your based, I'm sure we have at least one in our compound at Okawa Bay, if you want to view one.

 

There is some info here on the NZTYA web site;
