Monaco Fortuna was originally fitted with two Lister TS3 110 hp engines.  She competed in the International Cowes Torquay race in 1961 and was one of nine finishers amongst a starting line of 25, being the only boat to keep going at full throttle for the whole race.

After the race she ws converted to a standard Monaco Cruiser and sold to a Mr James Trigg and based in Jersey

Monaco Fortuna has recently been purchased and is undergoing refurbishment.

Regretably Monaco Fortuna proved too much of a challenge and is no longer viable as a refurbishment project.  Some of her timbers and other parts will be saved and go towards the restoration of PHILANTI III.
