Shannon 38 1983

Introducing the 1983 Shannon 38 Ketch, a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Shannon Boat Company, renowned for creating some of the world's finest offshore sailing yachts. Built by skilled artisans in New England to the highest standards, this yacht embodies uncompromising quality and is ideal for long-distance bluewater cruising or navigating the Great Lakes. With impressive stability and comfort in challenging conditions, the Shannon 38 can hoist up to six sails simultaneously, ensuring optimal speed and performance, especially when sailing upwind. It’s designed for ease of handling, making it perfect for solo sailors, couples, or families. While TEAL is fully capable of bluewater adventures, she has also enjoyed life in the brackish waters of Connecticut and the freshwater of Lake Michigan. Below deck, the classic layout features a warm Teak interior with a spacious owner’s cabin at the front, complete with storage lockers, shelves, and drawers. A bi-fold privacy door leads to the forward cabin, which opens into the mast enclosure when not in use. Moving aft, you'll find a generous head with a shower and vanity on starboard, while a hanging locker is conveniently located on port. The bright and airy main salon offers ample ventilation and storage, with long settees that slide out and include lee cloths for additional berths. An upper outboard pilot berth on the port side and a large folding teak table create a welcoming dining area with a U-settee that converts into a double berth. A well-equipped navigation station with a built-in seat and electric panel is adjacent to the quarter berth aft, while the galley features a double stainless sink, LPG stove/oven, and refrigeration with a freezer, a layout typically found on larger, newer boats. The engine compartment is conveniently located centerline beneath the companionway steps. Founded by Walt Schulz in 1975 in Bristol, Rhode Island, the Shannon Boat Company set out to design and build offshore yachts of the highest quality. Over the years, Shannon yachts have gained an international reputation for superior construction and offshore reliability, amassing over a million bluewater miles with numerous circumnavigations and transoceanic journeys. Each major harbor around the globe has welcomed a Shannon yacht, with a legacy of continuous evolution from the very first Shannon 38 built in 1975 to the present day, all under Walt Schulz's personal oversight. No other semi-custom yacht manufacturer can boast such an impressive record of passage-making, stability in management, and an unwavering commitment to quality since 1975.
