Full tour of Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 heading for the Atlantic. Young guy sailing singlehanded
Young adventorous guy leaving Norway singlehanded. Heads out for adventure alone in his 1977 Halbarg-Rassy Monsun 31.
Complete walkthrough of the boat HR Monsun, with all preparations for a long distance cruising.
The boat has been on several long cruises, and have crossed the Atlantic numerous times. This boat sailed back to Norway from the West Indies summer 2023, and then Brage bought her. Brage has been fixing the teak deck for some time. He has also had problems with the diesel engine, with a diesel runaway postponing the departure for some time.
The plan is to leave Norway tomorrow, and head down to the bay of Biscay as soon as possible. Then avoid the Orcas around Portugal and Spain, before sailing south to the Canary Islands. Brage also wants to pop by in Africa, as he has many good memories from that continent.
Follow us on this walkthrough of the ocean crossing small boat, with the enthusiastic skipper Brage telling us all about it.

Best of luck, stay safe.
liked & subbed. looking forward to the journey, Fair winds.
First of all, good luck and fair winds. Isnt your solar power way to smal? might be OK on a sunny day, but a week of fog you will charge 40 watts an hour. Is that enough? And could you number the episodes
Very best wishes from Ireland. I will look forward to future news on your progress.
I met up yesterday with a Carpenter and experienced solo sailor from Canada, who has arrived in Ireland from Prince Edward Island in his 21 foot plywood junk rigged boat. He has built it beautifully, very strong and practical. He has a well presented YouTube channel 'Rover's Adventure'.
Fair winds and have a safe great adventure.. Nigel.
That is a wonderfull boat, capable of crossing oceans with ease. Fair winds.
Good luck. Looks like you are set for an incredible adventure. Make sure you take plenty of iPad charging cables. A few years ago I crossed the Atlantic using iPad/iPhone with Navionics which worked very well, however the cables corrode easily and we almost ran out! If you stop in Brighton for a pit stop and fancy a beer let me know
