Seller's Description

This 1982 50 Shannon Staysail Ketch got hit during hurricane Irma and was de-masted. She is having her interior and exterior rebuilt by a sailboat rebuilder and the work continues. But the seller has another rebuilding project he is working on and would like this Shannon sold so he does not have to own 2 projects at once. The boat has already received a custom bowsprit, custom cockpit hard top and the toe rails are being rebuilt as well as having the broken hand rails replaced. All chain plates have been re-bedded and new SS standing rigging will need to be ordered when the masts have been ordered. The beautiful solid teak interior does not need much work, but a number of bronze ports will need to be installed. The hard headliner is in great shape and all overhead lighting is working. The galley is well equipped and operational, all settees and tables are in very good condition and all berths are ready for sleeping. Both heads are working and the master has a stall shower. There was no interior damage, but the workers exposed the chain plates for inspection so they could be re-bedded. There are 2 air conditioning units working on shore power to keep the interior cool and dry and the generator will take over when at sea. This Shannon was well equipped before the storm and now a new captain can purchase her and finish the ordering and installing of the new masts and new rigging. If you have skills to finish this project or wish to hire someone to do it, please call Barry at 954-873-1800 and we will set up your personal preview of this lovely world cruiser.

Section Name: Accommodations Enter the vessel from the amidships companionway and move down into the salon and you will find the galley to starboard followed by the L shaped dinette settee with adjustable table, cabinets and shelves forward followed by a huge stand up closet with shelving. Forward is the guest stateroom with storage lockers and drawers, a filler cushion for the V berth, shelves and access to the anchor locker. Moving aft down the port side you will find more storage cabinets and shelves and access to the guest head with toilet, mirror, sink and multiple storage lockers. There is another door to the forward head from the salon. Moving aft to port are the two love seats with table in between, storage lockers and shelves above followed by the second guest stateroom with hanging locker, over and under berths offering privacy with a pocket door. Moving thru the walkway aft is the master head to port with stall shower, toilet, sink, mirror, storage lockers and privacy door. Next aft is the navigation desk with access to the electrical panels, generator controls and the stairway to the cockpit companionway. To starboard is the master Pullman berth with hanging locker and storage lockers and drawers. Celebration sleeps 8 owners and guests and has 2 heads with 1 stall shower.

Calculations

Hull Speed
10.1 kn
Classic: 8.76 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

10.05 knots
Classic formula: 8.76 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.0
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
17.0
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.8
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

39.75
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
222.9
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
222.86
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
38.5
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
38.5
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.68
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

A pilot house version was the AEGEAN 51.
