38' Shannon Shannon 38 Cutter

Well-kept example of this quality blue-water cruiser. Comfortable, sea-kindly, and capable of going anywhere. Wanigan (name reserved) has always been a New England boat where shes been hauled and covered every Winter. The Shannon 38 is Listed in Ferenc Mates list of 100 best sailboats.
I am exposed to a lot of sailboats for my work and by comparison I continue to be impressed with the build quality of a Shannon.
