Designed by Walter Schulz and launched in 1984, the Shannon 43 is a quintessential American bluewater voyager, engineered specifically for the rigors of longdistance offshore passagemaking. Built in Bristol, Rhode Island, by the Shannon Boat Company, the 43 represents a culmination of Schulz's philosophy: that a yacht must be safe enough to protect a shorthanded crew in a gale while remaining comfortable enough for extended living. The hull is a mediumdisplacement design featuring a sweeping shear line and a traditional aesthetic that belies its sophisticated internal engineering. Over its production life, the model evolved into the Shannon 43/46, often sharing the same hull mold but utilizing different stern treatments or interior configurations to accommodate varying owner requirements.
