Boat: Pearson Ariel | 23-06-2019, 19:03 | | Boat: 1976 Sabre 28-2 | in a 26 Mark II. The channels in going the wrong way were the worst conditions experienced in more than 10,000 miles of open ocean sailing. Would I recommend it especially in a C26, no because you need a cast iron stomach to handle the uncomfortable conditions. The boat survived and I had a great time. A boat like a Shannon 28 is a go anywhere cruiser compared to the way way better built and hopefully better sailing manners. Properly equipped wouldn't have a qualm about taking a Shannon 28 anywhere in the world I wanted to go. Going to take some compromises to do long passages and but that's in your mentality not the boat's ability. Recently delivered my new to me 28 from SF to Oceanside, CA. First day got the crap kicked out of us. Did have some problems the result of an old boat that had been not been maintained. Ducked into Monterey and spent a day and no correcting the problems and was off again. Unfortunately the had died so ended up powering all the way from Monterey to Oceanside. Would take the 28 anywhere now that I've updated the . Sailed our Westsail 32 to SoPac and back and lived on it for 3 years. You asked for up to 33' but the W32 is not a fair comparable as it's an unsanforised 40' boat. | | | 26-06-2019, 10:01 | | Boat: Alberg 30 | , which actually is a smaller boat than the Shannon.

But between the Shannon and the hulls Is a significantly different design. Ive read a lot about the Shannon, and comments mostly side on an inefficient hull/keel design. Bob Perry has even dismissed the Shannon designs, just as an example. I am aware, having worked as a rigger for some time, many boat owners, even with new and a properly setup rig cant sail a boat efficiently. So I only use these accounts as one point of reference. I see aspects of the Shannon design ( I infact use albergs design as a criteria for comparison as I have a reasonable amount of experience in his sailboats) that are typical of inefficient hulls, but I also know there is much more than I know involved. My primary concerns are the behavior of a Shannon 28 in a seaway; in larger waves; hove to, or in other words standing up to foul weather. The build quality of the Shannon 28 based on my is top quality- this is not the question. It is fitted out for offshore use, no question. Im not a , but I live to sail a rig well. I respect the experience of others so im Interested and grateful to be reading these accounts of offshore sailing! Thank you all and I would love to see this discourse of first hand offshore experience expand. | | | 26-06-2019, 11:44 | | | near the end of his career as he was trying to keep Shannon afloat - the Shoalsailer, for example, was a joke. But the earlier - 28 and 38 and 50 were all terrific seaboats. My primary concerns are the behavior of a Shannon 28 in a seaway; in larger waves; hove to, or in other words standing up to foul weather. spade fractional sloops, nor do they easily surf downwind. But they cross oceans at a quite nice steady pace, and will stand up to pretty much any sea conditions and keep the crew safe, and not bite you if you make a mistake. They heave-to perfectly, they run down big waves with great balance. They take getting knocked hard on the beam with just a little shake and bounce right back on the job. They would not be my first pick if you had to do a lot of upwind (like say going north up the Chilean channels, or if your favorite activity was short tacking into tiny harbors in Scotland) but otherwise they are super well mannered and not slow. | 25-08-2019, 04:40 | | Boat: 1983 Shannon 28 | a couple seasons ago and her with my wife to the Balearics in the summers for a week or two at a time. It is an 80 nm offshore jump to Ibiza for us. Not distances, but more than enough to get a feel for the boat's characteristics in various conditions, I would say. My previous two boats, an Alberg 30 and a Cape Dory 36 ( which I singlehanded across the Atlantic in 2001) were both Alberg designs, so an evaluation of our boat is inevitably always a comparison. From the perspective of finish and build quality, the Shannon 28 is heads and tails above the Whitby built Alberg as well as the CD36 which itself is already a few notches better than the your average production boat. Simply put, the quality of the Shannon 28 is stunning, even at 36 years of age. Aside from the quality issue, compared to our former Alberg 30, although about the same displacement, the Shannon feels like a bigger boat. A much more solid and secure offshore platform. Higher toerails, keel stepped , rig, longer waterline, more beam, higher topsides, deeper and higher combings. She is much stiffer than the A30, and makes considerably less leeway in a blow. Importantly, unlike the long overhangs Alberg designs, she does not hobby horse in a sloppy sea. The Shannon 28 also has a fairly tall rig, so she is happy in light winds, though she does need to be reefed early. One notable characteristic I have not seen on my previous boats is that the Shannon has an uncanny ability to steer herself for long periods of time once the are balanced. Ours is a B cruising model (open interior). The V berth once extended is bigger than what we had on the CD36, so very comfortable for two adults. Settees are long enough for me ( I'm 6ft.) but a bit narrow even after pulling out wider. With Lee cloths though, one can get a fairly comfortable sleep off watch. size and functionality is excellent. location at the foot of the companion way is well thought out and the space is adequate, but just so. All in all, I'm much impressed with the Shannon 28, though to be fair after only two seasons, I'm still the boat. From my previous offshore sailing experience, I would have no issues with taking this boat across the Atlantic, though she would need some additional such as a , etc. Hope this helps.

Only point of sail I found uncomfortable was quartering seas with short period; otherwise she was as comfortable and as the Shannon 37 I have now. Would not hesitate to take one anywhere. | | | 07-10-2019, 17:50 | | Boat: Shannon 28 | but feels big and safe compared to any others I’ve been on in the 30-foot range. The interior, however, is quite cramped. It’s due to A) the dark vibe of all the woodwork. (I love that though.) And B) the numerous areas that are built into the hull, and handholds that are everywhere. It’s a lot built into a very small area. But it’s ingenious. The layout up on allows for secure footing and hand holds, big toe rail, excellent cockpit drainage design and high combing, etc. It’s only 9300 lbs, but she feels heavy. The deck feels much more like a 30 foot boat. The interior feels like a 25 footer. All you want to do down below is sleep, cook, etc. I removed the sorry excuse for a fold out table because it was more in the way than anything. All my time is spent in the cockpit. The two settee berths are very comfortable, though and actually slight "out" (amidships) about 6 additional inches, like a pullout couch so the average sized person doesn't have one arm falling off the mattress constantly. The V berth is ample, but of course not fit for sleeping if offshore. In light airs she actually moves well – I can slide along in 5-7 knots wind and claim "a great day sailing" . Around 10 knots, it’s just great to sail. At 15-19, start paying attention because she WILL show her tenderness and heel too much, if your sails aren’t trimmed, depending on your point of sail. (By “too much” I mean getting into inefficient returns of wind vs fwd - not too scary, unless you ask my girlfriend anyway though. She’s a pig to back up. I do a circle if I miss a turn in the marina due to traffic – she just can’t maneuver like boats with fin keels. Overall, a very solid boat. It is my "forever boat". Every time I get on another boat I realize how much more I love my own, for quantitative reasons. Not just blind lust. If you're looking at one, snag it. Obviously, they are getting old. Bought mine and immediately completely overhauled the stern tube (it was , and corroded – now it’s and perfect!) Had to rebed some stuff, new mounts, revamped the , pulled the , etc, etc. Typical old boat stuff. But if she’s on your short list, you know what you’re getting in to I’m sure. Drop me a line if you want more specifics. | | | 08-10-2019, 05:42 | | Boat: 1983 Shannon 28 | Thread Tools | | Rate This Thread | : | Posting Rules | post new threads post replies post attachments edit your posts is are code is are are are | Similar Threads | Thread | Thread Starter | Forum | Replies | Last Post | | Block Island | Monohull Sailboats | 53 | 30-12-2023 20:04 | | obxmedic | Monohull Sailboats | 6 | 11-06-2014 22:33 | | obxmedic | Plumbing Systems and Fixtures | 53 | 05-08-2009 02:13 | | gouralnik | Monohull Sailboats | 3 | 04-02-2009 12:00 | | JMRmarinero | Monohull Sailboats | 8 | 26-02-2008 12:22 | Privacy Guaranteed - your email is never shared with anyone, opt out any time. | | | | | | | © 2001-2024 ./) . . ./) . . |
Boat crashes into breakwater metres away from womanA man was treated by paramedics Get the stories that matter to our community straight to your inbox with our Daily Newsletter We have more newsletters A man had to be treated by paramedics after a motorboat crashed into a breakwater. An air ambulance landed at Mount Batten this afternoon after the boat dramatically ran aground just metres from where a woman was sitting. Eyewitnesses say the vessel left Sutton Harbour this afternoon (Tuesday, September 17), appearing to intend to sail around Mount Batten. However, it was later photographed aground at the breakwater. Plymouth Coastguard Rescue Team and the RNLI were called to the incident at around 2.50pm today. A spokesperson for HM Coastguard told PlymouthLive that a vessel was reported to have run aground at the Mount Batten breakwater. An eyewitness said he and his wife saw the motorboat heading out of Sutton Harbour through the turntable bridge. "From there it was heading towards Mount Batten breakwater, presumably to go past it, to head on out," they said. "After a couple of minutes a pilot boat tied up and two guys got off, jumped into a twin engine boat and with great haste, went chasing off in the same direction. By the time we walked up to Dutton's Cafe, the motor boat was already on the rocks." Another witness said: "My daughter has just witnessed a boat crash into the rocks four meters away from her." South Western Ambulance Service vehicles were seen in the area and video footage also shows a helicopter from Devon Air Ambulance landing. One man was taken into the care of paramedics, but it is unclear if he was then taken to hospital. A spokesperson for HM Coastguard said: "HM Coastguard coordinated the response to a motor vessel reported to have gone aground at the Mount Batten breakwater, Plymouth, at about 2.50pm on 17 September. "The vessel was moved to a pontoon where the man was taken into the care of the South Western Ambulance Service. Plymouth Coastguard Rescue Team and the RNLI's inshore lifeboat from Plymouth attended." - Devon Air Ambulance
