, one of the last 28s built, had only two owners and has been restored completely to its original beauty with modern modifications. Hull #42 by Walt Schulz today. I found in a boat yard in pretty tough shape, so I brought the boat back to the shop last winter and totally refurbished/ rehabbed the boat stem to stern. I wanted to see what it would take to make an older shannon like brand new. I changed the headsail configuration to a scutter rig which I designed and has been incorporated on every Shannon since 1995. The cutter rig with the basically unusable staysail on club boom was removed and the 75% working jib is on the end of the bowsprit with the 150 Genoa set aft so that the genoa tacks easily in front of the mast in light air (see on 39's, 43's, 53's on our website).
is a very unique vessel and requires absolutely nothing to complete a trans-Atlantic voyage. for more information and complete specifications on the Shannon 28 MKII

Shannon 28 is a 31 ′ 11 ″ / 9.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Walter Shultz and built by Shannon Yachts between 1978 and 1999.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
From BlueWaterBoats.org :
Launched in 1978, the Shannon 28 is regarded as one of the highest quality production 28 footers to come from America. The boat was conceived to serve well for family cruising right through to serious offshore sailing with liveaboard capability for two. Notable accomplishments include the two single-handed passages across the Atlantic by Rudder Magazine’s editor, Monk Farnham, at age 72 and again at age 76 which earn him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The design came from Walter Schulz, a boatbuilder described as one of the last of a wonderful breed, the complete boatbuilder – one who designs boats, invents rigs, iterates on hull shapes not only computer but also crafts the half models for testing and finally builds the real boat with his own hands. He founded Shannon Yachts in Rhode Island in 1975 with the launch of the sweet sailing Shannon 38 offshore cruiser. The Shannon 28 followed just 3 years later as the second yacht to join the stable.
Schulz’ design goals for the Shannon 28 was typical of a good cruiser – seaworthiness, comfort, and stable handling across all wind and seas condition, but he also wanted the boat to be exciting to sail. Her heavy displacement and full keel configuration fulfils the former, but interestingly, by positioning the rudder further aft and cutting away the aft portion of the keel, the Shannon 28 is also quite responsive. Rig selection also reinforces the design theme with the choice of a true cutter configuration, a favourite for offshore passage-making for its ability to maintain balance over a wide range of wind conditions. At 470 square feet of canvas, her sail area to displacement ratio is high enough to give her respectable light air performance and overall performance is good.
“I’d like to have every boat I build outlive me” – Walter Schulz
No article about Shannon boats should go without a mention of build quality – it’s exemplary. Right from the early days, Shannons have certainly earned their reputation for quality, not only in build quality but also in their seaworthy designs, even winning a nod of approval of Ferenc Mate by the inclusion of Shannon Yachts in his book The World’s Best Sailboats Vol. 2 .
The Shannon 28 was available in three interior layouts, including an offshore configuration that had an aft quarter berth. There were thoughtful details to ease maintenance like breaking her tankage down into three smaller water tanks plus a fuel tank, any of which can be removed without cutting away any part of the boat or joiner work. Choice of a outboard rudder and keel sections which allow her to stand on her bottom also simplify maintenance.
The hull was built as a one piece fiberglass molding – hand laid mat and woven roving with additional reinforcements in potential stress areas such as the bow, keel and transom intended to provide the hull with added strength in the case of grounding situations.
The decks were constructed in fiberglass and cored in balsa with well thought out deck hardware attachment points. Delamination and deck leaks are rare. The hull-to-deck joint was an internal flange bonded with adhesive bedding compound and bolted on 8-inch centers. Structural bulkheads were attached with fiberglass straps through the bulkhead and then further secured with continuous fiberglass tabbing along the entire joint. These belt and suspenders methods were typical of the entire construction.
In total around fifty-five boats were produced between 1978 – 1986, after which they continued to be available from Shannon on a semi-custom basis right up to 1999, by which time the price had risen from $55k to $175k. The Shannon 28 remains one of the classic models of the Shannon line, and continues to be sought after in the used boat market with their prices holding up very well.

Underwater Profile: Fin keel with transom-hung rudder
Hull Material: GRP (Fibreglass)
Length Overall: 28'0" ( 8.5m)
Waterline Length: 22 '11" ( 7.0m)
Beam: 9'6" ( 2.9m)
Draft: 4'3" ( 1.3m)
Rig Type: Cutter
Displacement: 9,300lb (4,218kg)
Designer: Walter Shultz
Builder: Shannon Boat Company (USA)
Year First Built: 1978
Year Last Built: 1985
Number Built: 50
Published Design Ratios for the Shannon 28
1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 16.1
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 38.7
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 345
4. Comfort Ratio: 27.7
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.8
Performance Predictions, Based on the Design Ratios Some of the design ratios that can help us predict the performance of the Shannon 28 are:
- Hull Speed: 6.4 knots. This is the theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can achieve, based on its waterline length. The Shannon 28 has a waterline length of 7 meters, which gives it a hull speed of 6.4 knots. This is a decent speed for a cruising boat of this size.
- Sail Area/Displacement: 16.1. This ratio measures the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. A higher ratio indicates better performance in light winds, while a lower ratio indicates better performance in heavy winds. The Shannon 28 has a sail area of 41.3 square meters and a displacement of 4,218 kilograms, which gives it a ratio of 16.1. This is a moderate ratio that suggests the boat can sail well in both light and heavy winds.
- Ballast/Displacement: 38.7%. This ratio measures the stability of the boat, based on the weight of the ballast relative to the weight of the boat. A higher ratio indicates more stability and stiffness, while a lower ratio indicates less stability and more tenderness. The Shannon 28 has a ballast of 1,633 kilograms and a displacement of 4,218 kilograms, which gives it a ratio of 38.7%. This is a high ratio that indicates the boat is very stable and can resist heeling in strong winds.
- Displacement/Length: 345. This ratio measures the heaviness of the boat, based on its weight relative to its waterline length. A higher ratio indicates a heavier and more comfortable boat, while a lower ratio indicates a lighter and more agile boat. The Shannon 28 has a displacement of 4,218 kilograms and a waterline length of 7 meters, which gives it a ratio of 344.2. This is a high ratio that indicates the boat is heavy and comfortable for cruising.
- Comfort Ratio: 27.7. This ratio measures the comfort of the boat at sea, based on its motion characteristics. A higher ratio indicates more comfort and less motion sickness, while a lower ratio indicates less comfort and more motion sickness. The Shannon 28 has a comfort ratio of 27.7, which falls within the range of 20-30 for coastal cruisers.
- Capsize Screening: 1.8. This ratio measures the safety of the boat in case of capsize, based on its beam and displacement. A lower ratio indicates better safety and less likelihood of capsize, while a higher ratio indicates less safety and more likelihood of capsize. The Shannon 28 has a capsize screening of 1.8, which is below the threshold of 2 for ocean passages.
Based on these ratios, we can conclude that the Shannon 28 is a well-designed boat that offers good performance, stability, comfort, and safety for cruising.
Production Period and Numbers Produced The Shannon 28 was launched in 1978 by Shannon Yachts, a company founded by Walter Shultz in Rhode Island in 1975. The Shannon 28 was the second yacht to join the Shannon line-up, after the Shannon 38 offshore cruiser. The production of the Shannon 28 lasted until 1999, with less than 100 boats built. The Shannon Yachts company is still in operation today, producing custom-built boats ranging from 36 to 53 feet.
Alternative Versions & Options The Shannon 28 was offered in two versions: the Shannon 28 Cutter and the Shannon 28 Sloop. The cutter version had a staysail on a self-tacking boom, while the sloop version had a larger genoa and no staysail. The cutter version was more popular, as it provided more versatility and balance in different wind conditions.
The Shannon 28 also had some options for the interior layout and the auxiliary power. The interior layout could be either a traditional layout with a V-berth forward, a head to port, a hanging locker to starboard, a U-shaped dinette to port, a galley to starboard, and a quarter berth aft; or a modified layout with a double berth forward, a head and a hanging locker to starboard, a straight settee to port, a U-shaped galley to starboard, and a quarter berth aft. The auxiliary power could be either a Yanmar 2GMF 15 HP diesel engine or a Westerbeke 21 HP diesel engine.
Number & Location of Sleeping Berths The Shannon 28 can accommodate up to four people for sleeping. The sleeping berths are located in the forward cabin, the main cabin, and the aft cabin. The forward cabin has either a V-berth or a double berth, depending on the interior layout. The main cabin has either a U-shaped dinette that converts to a double berth or a straight settee that can be used as a single berth, depending on the interior layout. The aft cabin has a quarter berth that can be used as a single berth.
History of the Boatbuilder Shannon Yachts is a boatbuilding company founded by Walter Shultz in Rhode Island in 1975. Shultz is described as one of the last of a wonderful breed, the complete boatbuilder – one who designs boats, invents rigs, iterates on hull shapes not only computer but also crafts the half models for testing and finally builds the real boat with his own hands. Shultz has been sailing since he was six years old and has accumulated over 100,000 miles of offshore experience. He has also been involved in various aspects of the marine industry, such as yacht brokerage, chartering, surveying, and teaching.
Shannon Yachts is known for producing high quality and seaworthy boats that are designed for offshore cruising and liveaboard capability.
The company's motto is "I'd like to have every boat I build outlive me" – Walter Shultz.
Some of the notable models produced by Shannon Yachts are:
- Shannon 38: The first yacht launched by Shannon Yachts in 1975. A sweet sailing offshore cruiser that can accommodate up to six people. Over 100 boats built.
- Shannon 28: The second yacht launched by Shannon Yachts in 1978. A high quality and seaworthy cruiser that can accommodate up to four people. Less than 100 boats built.
- Shannon 43: A spacious and comfortable cruiser that can accommodate up to eight people. Launched in 1982. Over 50 boats built.
- Shannon Pilot 43: A pilothouse version of the Shannon 43 that offers more protection and visibility. Launched in 1996. Over 20 boats built.
- Shannon Voyager 36: A versatile and innovative cruiser that can be configured as a sloop, cutter, ketch, or schooner. Launched in 2000. Over 10 boats built.
- Shannon 39: A modern and elegant cruiser that combines performance and comfort. Launched in 2004. Over 10 boats built.
Shannon Yachts is still in operation today, producing custom-built boats ranging from 36 to 53 feet. The company also offers restoration and refit services for existing Shannon owners.
Secondhand Values The Shannon 28 is a rare and sought-after boat on the secondhand market. The price of a used Shannon 28 depends on various factors, such as the year of production, the condition of the boat, the equipment and upgrades installed, and the location of the boat. According to YachtWorld , an online marketplace for boats, the average asking price for a used Shannon 28 in April 2023 was US$53,425, with prices ranging from US$24,900 to US$67,500. The number of listings available was four.

- Description
"Non-skid decks" may be one of the most over-rated expressions used in the fiberglass boat industry. Molding a fancy shallow pattern in a deck and using a contrasting gel coat color does not make the surface "non-skid." A wet fiberglass deck can be hazardous unless the surface is designed to prevent deck shoes from "hydroplaning" on the surface. The Shannon 28,like all Shannon's, has a special custom molded fiberglass pattern created for offshore work in heavy seas. The pattern is raised, complicated to construct, easy to maintain, and very effective." ~ Shannon Brochure

"The cutter rigged Shannon 28 provides versatility in all wind and sea conditions. Considered the best rig for single-handed sailing by experienced sailors, the cutter rig is simple to sail, offering the virtues of a sloop without tiring sail changes. The cutter rig has proven its merits on all the oceans of the world and the self-tending staysail and main are convenient for tacking in and out of crowded harbours." ~ Shannon Brochure
