Legendary Offshore Cruiser - Ready for New Adventures!!!
Shannon's reputation for producing top quality ocean voyaging boats is legendary, especially when considering their earlier builds. Evans and Beth Leonard who are known for their cruising writing and voyages on Hawk, did their first circumnavigation on a Shannon 38. It is a go anywhere boat, though reversing under power is not its greatest strength. This 1979 Shannon 38 "Wind, Sand and Stars" is a nicely equipped boat whose bones are good, and her cosmetics have been well looked after. Lots of sails and equipment convey.

She is ready to cruise the Bay and further South, though if your plans are to cross oceans, this boat is highly capable with a bit of additional equipment.
