Shannon 28
4 / 38 - score 58%
The Shannon 28 is a 28.0ft cutter designed by Walter Shultz and built in fiberglass by Shannon Yachts between 1978 and 1985.
50 units have been built.
The Shannon 28 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
