39' Shannon Cutter Rigged Cruisers

Overview

RANNOCH is a stunning 39 Shannon.  Kept behind the owner's home during the sailing season, it is obvious this owner enjoys "simply messing about" with his baby.  Teak trim is bright, decks are clear, compartments are neat.  This is a very squared away boat.

The Shannon 39 mirrors the improvements over the last two decades in roller furling, self-tailing winches, auto pilots, refrigeration, electronics, foam core composite fiberglass technology, and even equipment as mundane as gel cell batteries. The internal lead ballast and the hull section shape results in a stiff and stable boat even in heavy air. The 39 is a middleweight, best for a true coastal cruiser-offshore passage-maker. The sail plan on the 39 combines the performance attributes of a sloop with the versatility of a cutter. The 39 is designed to be rigged with a conventional stem roller furling genoa. Three feet forward on the bow-anchor platform is another stay that accepts a yankee jib. In addition, the 39 is set up with a special inner "baby" stay that attaches to a deck fitting 2 feet aft of the stem. This stay can be used in extreme conditions for a spitfire storm jib as well as for a whisker pole topping lift. To keep folks totally off the deck when the wind picks up, the 39 is set up with the continuous line reefing on the mainsail, and the halyards all lead to the cockpit. Regarding the interior layout, the 39 has a full-size forward cabin and berth arrangement suitable for living aboard. The V-berths with filler have maximum width at the shoulders, enough foot room and length, and a lower berth height for easier entry. The space gained by locating the head aft has allowed for expansion of the main salon. The two settees and pilot berths in the main salon are all excellent sea bunks. The pullout double and single settee combine with the pilot berth and V-berth for a total of six adult-sized bunks. The U-shaped galley is a common theme on all Shannons. Many other features will be incorporated into the 39, such as an optional swing down boarding-swimming platform, emergency life raft storage in the cockpit, a better holding tank system, and a unique cockpit radar screen location.

The "U" shaped galley has a heavy weather restraining strap w/built in attachment points. The sink stove, reefer and all storage spaces are within easy reach for the chef. There are four vertical drawers, a large space under the double sink, large deep space for pots and pans, three sliding door cabinets with a deep storage area beneath the center cabinet and a custom made louvered spice cabinet. The three burner gimbaled stove has attachable "pot holders" for cooking under weigh. The huge Sea Frost refrigerator/freezer (2013 upgrade to Sea Frost) has a convenient top hatch as well as a front access door.
