Shannon 43 - Available now

ARIES, was purchased by her present owner in 1994. This  43' Shannon Ketch, is a very strong, comfortable, attractive, high quality, blue water cruising design. Built for the current owner, she is the perfect boat for a couple to sail and live aboard anywhere in the world, while maintaining a comfortable lifestyle. The arrangement is the two cabin layout with two heads, finished with a magnificent cherry wood and white interior. Her main cabin is amidships with a straight settee to port and L-shaped settee to starboard with green Ultra leather cushions. The u-shaped galley with double stainless steel sink, a 3 burner stove, and refrigerator freezer is on the starboard side aft of the settee. Aries navigation center is located aft of the galley and has a full size chart table, swivel seat, storage, and a sophisticated custom electronics installation. With her centerboard up she only draws 4'9" making her a perfect choice for the Bahamas or Florida. With the board lowered, windward performance is enhanced.

This Shannon 43 is a classic, built by one of America's most experience quality builders. The Shannon 43's hull design has been proven over the last 12 years on many ocean voyages, such as an 18 day 3,000 nautical mile transatlantic crossing in 1994 from Newport, RI to Ireland, and an impressive 2nd overall and 1st in class finish in the 1991 Marion, MA to Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race.

      ARIES can sail safely, comfortably, and quickly no matter how long or short the passage.
