The lure of owning a classic yacht, like a Down East-inspired cruiser, runs deep for boat owners who prize lines that are always easy on the eyes, exteriors that are well protected for those moving around under way, and deckhouses that feature plenty of windows. And if that yacht is well built, and suited for use in open waters in a wide range of conditions, its usefulness and value climb quickly.
The Shannon Voyager 36 is such a vessel. It was first built in 1991 as a flybridge yacht, just as is Hull No. 9, built in 1993 without a flybridge at the original owner’s request. This Rhode Island-based builder of semicustom off shore sailing yachts, founded in 1975 by Walter Schulz, has a long history of satisfying this type of individual preference.
