1981 Shannon 50

A 1981 Shannon 50 ketch built from fiberglass, this sailing yacht represents the thoughtful design philosophy Shannon is known for. The 50-foot hull offers substantial seaworthiness and cruising range, powered by diesel engines from Perkins and Detroit.

The ketch configuration provides flexible sail handling and control across a range of wind conditions, a hallmark of the design. Below deck, the boat offers comfortable living quarters suited to extended passages and coastal cruising, with sleeping berths and multiple heads for a crew or family.

The fiberglass construction has proven durable, and the boat retains the quality craftsmanship typical of Shannon builds from this era.
