2005 Shannon

The Shannon Shoalsailer 35, with a mere 30 inches of draft, makes gunkhole cruising an accessible pleasure. It artfully combines elements of both power and sailing vessels, yet it distinctly stands apart from motorsailers. Ideal for navigating the shallow waters of Barnegat Bay, the Chesapeake, or the Bahamas, it boasts the speed necessary for a swift return home. The Shoalsailer 35 is equipped with an optional High-Speed Package, featuring a powerful 120-hp engine, a hydraulically operated trim tab beneath the swim platform, and a bow thruster, allowing it to achieve speeds of 8-10 knots under power. Designed to safely endure groundings, this boat is specifically intended to be beached, enhancing its versatility. One of its standout features is the expansive cockpit, with a maximum beam of 12' 9" positioned well aft, creating a spacious area typically found on much larger sailboats. This generous cockpit also includes twin steering stations, a swim platform and dinghy davits. The Shannon Shoalsailer 35 stands out as a beachable cruising sailboat, offering a cruising interior and an unusually large cockpit for its size. With many upgrades in recent years, this boat is ready for new adventures
