Monaro 27

Butter is a top-quality Canadian-built Monaro 27', designed for year-round cruising in West Coast waters. Built in Richmond, BC, it features an Alaskan bulkhead, hydronic heat, and a long list of recent upgrades that make it ideal for exploring the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and beyond.

The Monaro 27's reputation is rooted in its hand-laid fiberglass hull, deep-V design, and secure handling in rough conditions. It offers a dry, stable ride in seas that would challenge lesser boats, making it a favourite among experienced skippers looking for a trustworthy vessel.

In 2022, Butter was re-powered with a Volvo D4-320 and DPI drive. All work was completed at Monaro Marine in Richmond. Used primarily in Ontario lakes by the original owner, the boat was stored indoors every off-season before being purchased in Vancouver in 2018. Since then, it has been stored on land each winter and maintained to high standards, with significant investment in both function and comfort.

A full galley with both fridge and freezer allows for longer duration cruises. The v-berth features new cushions installed in 2022, and the aft berth has brand new cushions purchased in September 2025.
