The Shogun 50 is a 50-foot performance sailing yacht built from carbon fibre, weighing just 7,900 kg. Designed for efficient doublehanded sailing as well as full crew operation, she combines aggressive, contemporary lines with functional features including spray rails, a negative bow, and large twin rudders. The hull is constructed using vacuum-injected epoxy on a sandwich core with selected carbon fibre throughout. A retractable carbon keel blade allows draft to adjust from 3.3 metres down to 2 metres, making her capable in shallow waters. The keel bulb accounts for 45 percent of total weight at 3,600 kg, providing exceptional righting moment and stability. An extendable bowsprit and optimised mast position—placed well aft—increase the foretriangle and allow a flexible sail plan centred on modern self-tacking jibs paired with a square-top mainsail. Total sail area reaches 138.5 square metres.
The deck features a large cockpit, spacious area below the companionway, and a 2-cubic-metre storage locker in the bow. A Volvo Penta diesel engine provides auxiliary power. Interior joinery is handcrafted oak finished by Swedish carpenters, with carbon fibre laminate sandwich construction and a divinycell core throughout. Two interior layout options are available: a standard two-cabin layout with open salon forward and two identical double aft cabins, or a three-cabin configuration with an owner's suite forward and two double berth aft cabins, sleeping up to six in private cabins.
The standard layout positions the galley in two sections with the stove and sink at the yacht's centre, using the keel drum as back support underway. A chart table and heads sit to starboard, with the salon featuring a large u-shaped dining couch forward. Both layouts incorporate cushioned hull sides in the aft cabins for comfort. Interior surfaces combine oak veneers with carbon fibre details, creating a warm, contemporary aesthetic below deck.
