Descriptions

Accommodations

Below deck the Shannon 38 impresses with her all Teak interior, her spaciousness and arrangement of accommodations. From the generous owner’s cabin forward, move aft to starboard to the large head with shower and hanging locker to starboard. Moving aft, the main salon is an airy well lighted area, with ample ventilation, plenty of storage and long settees that slide out, equipped with lee cloths they can be used as berths. There is a large folding teak table large enough to accommodate several guest for dinner. Moving aft to port is the well-equipped nav station and electric panel. Opposite is the galley with a new double stainless sink, LPG stove/oven and holding plate refrigeration/freezer. A very nice arrangement usually found on larger and newer boats.

 



Manufacturer's information
Shannon Boat Company was founded by Walt Schulz in Bristol, Rhode Island in 1975 with the intent to design and build offshore yachts to the highest quality standards. Over the years, Shannons have earned an International reputation for quality construction and offshore integrity. Shannons have logged over a million bluewater miles, including an impressive list of circumnavigations and many transoceanic passages, mostly by husband and wife teams. Every major harbor in the world has been visited by a Shannon. Shannon's boatbuilding experience is an unbroken, evolutionary chain from Shannon 38#1 built back in 1975 to the present day. During every week, there always has been a new Shannon being constructed under Walt Schulz's personal direction. No company building semi-custom yachts anywhere can demonstrate comparable passagemaking records, a stable management team and a consistent uncompromised standard of quality since 1975.
