1953 42’ Ed Monk “Blue Tango”

Project Details

In a quaint harbor town, nestled along the rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest, stood a weathered yet majestic vessel that captured the hearts of all who beheld her. The year was 1953, and the 42-foot beauty now known as “Blue Tango” was a sight to behold—a timeless masterpiece crafted by the skilled hands of Ed Monk, renowned for his impeccable designs.

When the vessel’s current owner, a passionate enthusiast with an eye for nostalgia, came to us with a vision, our team connected with seasoned craftsmen and restoration experts to eagerly accept the challenge. Blue Tango has weathered the tides of time, showing signs of wear and tear that speak volumes of her storied past. Yet, beneath the layers of history, lay the potential for a remarkable transformation.

The mission was clear: to preserve the essence of Blue Tango’s classic allure while infusing her with modern amenities and creature comforts, ensuring an unforgettable experience for her passengers on every voyage.

The restoration process has been a labor of love, a delicate dance between tradition and innovation. Every plank of wood meticulously inspected, every brass fitting polished to perfection, and every detail meticulously attended to. Countless hours were spent studying archival blueprints and consulting with maritime historians to ensure authenticity in every aspect of the restoration.

Yet, as we breathe new life into Blue Tango, we are also embracing the opportunities that modern technology afford us. State-of-the-art navigation systems are being seamlessly integrated, ensuring safe passage through both familiar waters and uncharted seas. Luxurious cabins are being outfitted with plush furnishings and elegant fixtures, offering a haven of comfort amidst the ocean’s embrace.

When Blue Tango emerges from her cocoon of restoration, resplendent in her newfound glory, she will leave onlookers spellbound. With her sleek lines and gleaming hull, she will stand as a testament to the timeless elegance of Ed Monk’s design. Yet, within her polished exterior beats the heart of a modern marvel and she’ll be ready to embark on a new chapter of adventure and discovery.

For her owner and all who step aboard, Blue Tango represents more than just a vessel; she’s a vessel of memories, a portal to a bygone era, and a promise of unforgettable moments yet to come. If you’re looking for a team to help breathe the same new life into your own beloved part of maritime history and luxurious style, look no further.
