Introduction
As one of the World’s Premier sailboat builders Shannon Yachts needs little introduction. It is a given that any Shannon was built to the highest standards on day one. Many have done circumnavigations and it is normal to find them in almost any foreign port that cruising sailors visit. SHANNON GLYN sailed to the Caribbean immediately after being launched beginning an interesting career with her owners. The current owner put her through a rigorous refit when he first acquired her in the mid 90’s and again in 2006 just before retiring and commencing a long awaited “Cruising life”. As you study the listing, you will see that SHANNON GLYN has received proper care and maintenance over the years and stands ready to continue the adventurous journey that she was built for back in 1985.: Vessel Walkthrough
This is the aft cockpit, Cutter rigged, two stateroom version of the Shannon 43. Going below from the aft cockpit, we find the aft stateroom to port with ensuite head, to starboard is the nav station with the galley next forward on the starboard side. To post there is a midships settee with a dinette immediately across on starboard. Continuing forward there is access to the forward stateroom with head to starboard and a v berth with storage under. Engine access can be found under the steps to the aft cockpit. Throughout the interior you will find lockers, drawers and storage areas that allow the cruising sailor to properly show the necessities of this cruising lifestyle.: Main Saloon

Spare parts - the hidden expense! Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to solve a small problem offshore due to a missing $5 part and watching it grow into a huge problem right in front of your eyes! SHANNON GLYN, having the benefit of an experienced Owner, has a more than ample supply of necessary spares. From engine belts, oil filters, racor filters, head rebuild kits, a spare alternator, spare prop, and the list goes on. You’ll be able to remain self sufficient for a long time. Purchasing at your convenience, to replace the spares you use, instead of running around some island trying to find that one special piece. This will prove to be an enormous value in time saved as well as money. SHANNON GLYN also comes with a full set of factory blueprints and manuals as well as manuals and receipts for all equipment installed by this owner.: Detailed Broker s Comments
Full Disclosure: This listing Broker has done over 50,000 offshore miles on Shannons. I cannot be objective. I’ve had some great passages and some that were a bit of “work”, but I’ve never been let down in a rough situation by a Shannon. SHANNON GLYN will give you great performance, security at sea, serenity in the anchorage and the best time of your life. As you cruise the world, you’ll run into other Shannon owners and find out what it means to be one of the Shannon family. This one passes the “Test” when you row away from it in the anchorage, you’ll look back and smile… because you know you love her Call me anytime to arrange your showing on this fine cruising sailboat.
