Shannon 55 HPS

"It's All About Getting There and Being There".....The Shannon 55 HPS gets you there fast and in comfort with inside and outside steering stations, plus the innovative patented shoal draft hull design provides 10 kts+ speeds under power or sail. And when you have arrived at your destination, enjoy the fine amenities, enormous interior spaces, the protected aft lounge deck, and the panoramic views from the majestic main salon.

Walt Schulz’s solution to the traditional motorsailer, the 55HPS sails away from conventional cruising sailboats and with twin Yanmar 100HP diesels powers past conventional displacement trawlers. It is the ultimate yacht for living aboard comfortably with the proper balance between sail and power for safe offshore passagemaking and unlimited coastal cruising.  With a mast height under 64' and a draft of only 4'9", the 55 HPS is perfect for the ICW.  Twin diesels with the bow and stern thrusters provide the utmost in close quarter maneuverability and eliminate any anxiety when docking for a husband and wife crew.  The Shannon 55 HPS is truly a “Mono-maran” with all the positive features of catamarans and none of the disadvantages.

"Moon Tide" is the last Shannon HPS built and offers significant improvements from the older Shannon 53 HPS’s. The Shannon 55 HPS has an enhanced performance sailing rig without increasing the mast height - bigger mizzen and mainsail; taller mizzen mast and longer mizzen boom; the B&R rig on mizzen means no backstay and bigger roach; no backstay on main using king and queen triatic stays for increased roach on mainsail. The Shannon 55 HPS is much faster than the 53 HPS on all points of sail.  The deck layout has also been enhanced with a new upper cockpit layout with a large folding teak table and great seating on port side of cockpit. The aft lower cockpit has significant usable space with an additional stern seat and there is a folding swim ladder built in.

The 46 year mission statement of Shannon is “The last boat built has to be the best Shannon ever”, and Shannon 55 HPS #1 exemplifies this in spectacular fashion, in terms of quality craftsmanship and superior design/engineering.
