The conventional wisdom for the past century has been that the ability of a sailboat to sail in the general direction of the wind is predicated on the depth of the keel. The deeper the keel, the better the windward performance. The penalty for this improvement in sailing characteristics is the inability to sail the boat to weather in shallow water. The Shoalsailer is the first design, that achieves performance to weather by the shape of the hull rather than by the depth of the keel. Walt Schulz was able to make this breakthrough by using a state-of-the-art relational geometry computer design program. This program allows a designer to make changes in the hull sections, and then instantly calculates the effect on sailing performance. The Shoalsailer is a revolutionary breakthrough as it provides exhilarating sailing (especially to weather) while still drawing only 30".We have a lengthy article that covers numerous questions on this design, sailing ability and construction of the Shannon Shoalsailer. Just ask and we will be happy to email you a copy.

The Shoalsailer is a beautiful place to spend a weekend or extended vacation. The interior styling is both modern and classic. Soft flowing curves are highlighted by Shanon's great woodworking. In spite of the 3-" draft, the Shoaldailer still offers full 6'5" headroom below. Her Wide Beam, which carries from her mid-ships all the way aft to her transom, provides accomodations and livability usually only found in large vessels. She features a tri-cabin layout with berths for six and the teak drop-leaf table in the main salon seats six in comfort. There are two private sleeping cabins, one located forward and one aft, both with privacy doors. Each cabin has cedar lined hanging lockers and drawer storage, overhead opening hatches, and the aft cabin has an opening port for excellent light and ventilation. Fold-away "Pullman" type berths port and starboard in the main salon are always neat, and conveniently convert for eating, lounging or comfortable sleeping.She has lovely teak bulkheads with solid teak trim that is finished in a gloss varnish. Veneered teak and holly sole and tongue and groove overhead add to her charm below deck. 4" settee cushions, teak drop leaf table, multiple overhead opening hatches and 6'5" headroom gives her a bright, light and opening feeling below. Double V-berth with filler in the forward stateroom with 2 drawers under, hanging locker and privacy door. Aft and to starboard of the companionway is the aft cabin with double berth, hanging locker, and opening port. To port of the companionway is the large head with vanity, stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressure water, storage under and outboard. Manual toilet and bulkhead mounted shower and opening port for ventilation. Engine access is from under the companionway steps as well as from the head and aft cabin.One of the primary features of the Shoalsailer is her incredibly large cockpit. As mentioned before, she carries her beam all the way aft which allows for a very wide cockpit. There is a centerline drop leaf table followed by the pivoting pedestal with all her electronics, instruments, and light switches. Dual helms are perfect for her wide cockpit. Throttle and gear shift along with the compass are found at both helms. She also has a walk-out transom to a built-in swim/boarding platform (or Sugar Scoop) with additional storage. She has a straight seat to port and an L-shaped seat to starboard. Nice wide decks with inboard shrouds makes going forward very easy. She has a unique bimini, with the aft portion being a hardtop and perfect for mounting solar panels, and the forward portion is canvas that can fold back on a beautiful day. No doubt, this cockpit is where one will spend most of their time, either sailing or sitting at anchor in a peaceful cove.The owner has told me that the boat is very dry and handles the Chesapeake chop much better than other boats its size or even larger. You do NOT have to use the front window canvass that you see in other boats to stay dry. Thus you are not only dry but you have very clear vision of what is ahead. 

She has a storage packed L-shaped galley with Corian counter tops, shelving outboard with sliding doors, drawers and cabinets under.

The hull on the Shoalsailer is designed, engineered and constructed to be beached and withstand the rigors of shoal water sailing. The dual rudders swing up and the propeller is protected by the shallow/keel/skeg. The bolt on lead ballast in the keel was designed to absorb impact from groundings. The composite foam core construction is built to the highest standards in the industry by Shannon Yachts. In addition to a rugged hull laminate, the Shoalsailer has a special custom reinforcement in the forward sections that prevent serious damage as the result of grounding.Patented Shoalsailer hullEncapsulated lead keelOne piece hull constructionPVC linear foam cored hull biaxial with special crash reinforced bow for beachingFull length hull stringer grid glassed and reinforcedAll hand laid fiberglass laminateVinylester resin skin coatBoot top, anti-fouling bottom paint and epoxy undercoat2024 fresh bottom paintThe deck of the Shoalsailer was designed and built with warm weather in mind. The cabin trunk and side decks are insulated with foam core, and the molded storm hood that covers most of the trunk top creates additional protection from the sun or with the custom hood top cushion, is a great place for sunning. There are 5 opening hatches with screens along with 7 opening portlights for full ventilation below decks or of course there is the Air-conditioning for those really hot and humid days. The wide side decks allow easy access to the bow from the cockpit.Molded-in nonskid deck surface with recessed waterwaysContrasting nonskid colorHeavy duty anodized aluminum toe railHeavy duty Aluminum bimini support2023 New biminiQuantum canvas boom cover, wheel covers, cockpit table/pedestal coverTwo cockpit scuppersTransom boarding stepsHinged companionway doorsLarge cockpit storage lockerFull swim platform transom with stainless steel swim ladderWalk-thru transomSimpson Lawrence Horizon 990G 12 VDC electric windlass12V anchor salt water washdown pump#35 CQR anchor with chain#35 Lewmar anchor with chain and rodeDual custom anchor rollerAnchor rode deck pipeCustom welded stainless steel bow and stern pulpitsStainless steel stanchions with double life linesGates port and starboard4 stainless steel 10" mooring cleats and 2 - 8" spring cleats7 Lewmar Ocean opening ports with screens5 Lewmar Ocean deck hatches with screens (all re-sealed 2024)Custom molded storm hood/line cover for insulationStainless steel grab rails
