The Shannon 43 is one of the most popular bluewater cruising boats in the Shannon fleet. Designed by Walt Schulz and built to be the ultimate short-handed long distance ocean cruiser, the Shannon 43 offers excellent ocean sailing capability, good speed in light air and exceptional seaworthiness.
One celebrity owner is quoted as saying:
"(My) boat is a Shannon 43. It's one of the 12 best-built boats in the entire world….If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death. There's no quarter." _Morgan Freeman, actor
Visit Shannon's early website when the Shannon 43/46 was still in production. See videos and get the background history of one of Shannon's most popular model:
Shannon 38
The first Shannon model built in 1975 for offshore blue water sailing has stood the test of time
SHANNON38 CLASSIC KETCH
SHANNON 38 CLASSIC SLOOP
Shannon 39
Weekend or Long Distance Cruising , the Shannon 39 is the Strongest Built and Most Comfortable Boat in the Industry for Single-Handed or Short Crew Sailing
“The Shannon 39 is an extremely well-built and finished product. It is a boat that one would quickly come to know and feel safe in no matter how harsh the conditions. Comfortable below and on deck, she is destined to become the final yacht purchase for a lot of experienced cruisers." - SAILING
With a proven Walt Schulz-design keel/centerboard hull drawing only 4’4” board up, the Shannon 39 is perfect for blue water passage-making and shallow water gunkholing. The Shannon 39 is the ideal boat for a single-hander or couple to sail and live aboard anywhere in the world. The Shannon 39 is equally well suited for long-distance ocean voyaging or weekend cruising.
Shannon Shoalsailer 32 and 35
The Shoalsailer provides excellent all-around sailing and windward performance in water less than 3 feet deep with a cruising speed of 7 knots
Video of the first Shoalsailer sailing
The Shannon Shoalsailer 32’ features Walt Schulz’ patented hull design and is acclaimed for wonderful sailing performance with only 30” draft. The wide beam continues aft to provide exceptional stability and comfort with minimal heeling. The twin helm cockpit covered by a “Targa” top bimini feels like a much larger boat. Similarly, the interior accommodations are incredibly spacious with 6'3" headroom, two separate double berth private sleeping cabins, two “Concordia” style single sea berths, a seagoing galley with oversized refrigerator/freezer and a large head with shower.
Shannon 28
Conceived and built to provide a rugged bluewater cruising vessel with a practical size easily managed by one person and yet offers a waterline that is longer than some vessels over 30 feet. The Shannon 28 is an attraction in any harbor and will cruise the oceans of the world with comfort and safety.
Read about the Shannon 28 from the original Shannon Study Manual >
Regarded as one of the highest quality production boats built in America. Only 60 built.
Shannon SRD
The SRD line (Schulz Reverse Deadrise) represented a major breakthrough for innovative power boat design. The SRD hull was developed by Walter Schulz based on a totally new hull design (patented: Improved Hull Design). Stable in all sea conditions, fast, economical, head-turning design.
