Shannon YachtsFrom the Shannon Yachts Website: Shannon Yachts was founded by Walter Schulz in Bristol, RI 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 hull #1 (which is in Australia on a circumnavigation) built back in 1975 to the present day. During every week since 1975, 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 for the last thirty years. - Edward S.

Shannon 38 or tayana 37Narrowed it down to two boats. Want to be safe and able to go anywhere, also possible live aboard for a couple. Would like to hear pros and cons of these two boats from the forum. Which would you choose and why? assuming priced about the same and you like them about the same, choose the one in better shape 38: I'm not sure you can find a Shannon and a Ty37 that are equal in upkeep and price. I think the Shannons sell form more. Of course I prefer the look of the Ty37 but I think that the overall quality of the Shannon would give it an edge. I've never sailed a Shannon so I can't compare performance. But I know just from the number of hulls built that a lot of people like the TY37. Best of luck in your quest for a new boat. If they were in the same shape and price, I would personally pick the Tayana 37, but thats me. I have purchased an old Shannon 38, and have sailed Tayana's up to 54'. I picked the Shannon because of the Sketch rig which I really like. I am getting on in years and the Sketch rig is easier for me to handle than the traditional cutter. Then Shannon is very solid, quality craftsmanship and a good design. A bit narrow and small interior compared to new designs, but extremely kind in seas. We sailed across Lake Superior with 10'+ waves and was very stable and a good ride. The one I bought had some cosmetic and interior issues, as the previous owner did not keep her in Bristol condition. I have been fixing, cleaning and upgrading as I go along, and am quite pleased at the condition of the inner workings being over 35 years old. The Shannon team is terrific and have provided substantial help in my quest. I chartered a T54 for a week, and really liked the boat. Solid and good interior layout. I would not hesitate to buy either, but I agree with the earlier comment that it comes down to which boat is better maintained. If it is a draw, I would go with Shannon because of their support. I picked the Shannon because of the Sketch rig which I really like. I am getting on in years and the Sketch rig is easier for me to handle than the traditional cutter. Click to expand... It is Shanon's name for a ketch rig, as though they invented it or something. I hate "cute trade names" that mean nothing. They offer a Scutter as well. Marketing mumbo jumbo. "Oh you may have a ketch, but it is not a sketch...." Do they offer a SSloop as well? The Shanon is nice looking but the Tayana is a classic for a reason. There may be a reason that there were more than six times as many Tayana's made. The Shannon yachts were made to order by American craftsmen in the United States. Quality control was paramount. That's why there are fewer of them. All tankage and systems are accessible without destroying the interior. I know this is an old thread but if you are lucky enough to get a Shannon, buy it. You will be better off in the long run. (Proud owner of SB 37 Cutter!) Having sailed neither, I am going by conversations with owners of both and a friend's opinion, though it is probably a bit biased, because he was a Tayana dealer. I would lean toward the Shannon because of construction quality, sailing ability and classic lines. I am not a fan of double-enders, as there is considerably less buoyancy aft and less space on the aft deck, such as it is. However, I personally care less about sailing performance and much more about livability. This is going to be your home and you are going to be living on her mostly at anchor, on a mooring or at a dock. Consider where you can comfortably lounge around, on deck and down below. If you have no place that is really comfortable, then it is difficult to call that place home. Then there is the need for storage and if you are headed for the tropics you'll want excellent ventilation. As I see it, no one else can determine how and where you will be comfortable, so all the information about build quality and sailing performance should take a back seat to comfort. And whatever you two do, do not fall in love with a boat you do not own yet. That will surely lead you down a path that could cause you grief in the end. I think that old Nat Herreshoff's boats are some of the most beautiful ever designed, but I have yet to find one I consider livable. Good luck and fair winds.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Formula. 37.14. <40: less stiff, less powerful.
At 2,200 rpm in flat water, the 40-horsepower Shannon 37 motors at a bit less than 6 knots. When fully loaded for cruising, the boat will lose a half-knot to a knot of speed under motor. Like most boats with traditional underbodies, the Shannon 38 doesn't like backing. Even with its modified fin keel, the Shannon 37 can be unruly in reverse.
The Shannon 37 is a 37.75ft masthead ketch designed by Walter Shultz and built in fiberglass by Shannon Yachts between 1985 and 1993. 19 units have been built. The Shannon 37 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized.
The Shannon 37 is equipped with a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.30 - 1.40 meter (4.27 - 4.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Join Date: May 2008. Posts: 3,666. Re: Shannon 37. The Shannon 37 is a lovely boat for a singlehanded in the Chesapeake. The centerboard draft of only 4' 3" will help in the shallow water and a ketch rig is much easier for a singlehanded as it reduces the size of the other sails making them easier to handle.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Shannon 37 Ketch is about 218 kg/cm, alternatively 1224 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 218 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1224 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Hi All Looking for opinions on a Shannon 37. I plan on sailing in the Chesapeake single handed most of the time. The attached link to a Shannon 37 for sale in Chicago appears to be a contender but I am a bit worried about the in mast furling main. Any thoughts on the boat in general and in particular the in mast furling would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Reedville https://www.yachtworld.com ...
