Shannon is no C&C, it’s the Bentley of cursing yachts. A good friend worked for Shannon building the interiors for 20 years. Price would be great if it were not for the accident. How do you get de-masted and no damage the rest of the boat? Insurance usually skimps out on repair so if I were to look at it, I would inspect the chainplates, turnbuckles and made sure all of the standing rigging and associated fittings are brand new. And that attachments to the superstructure show no signs of stress, elongation etc. It might be hard getting to them with all the beautiful woodwork inside.
Still I could not see myself spending that much in the 70s interior design.

I'm curious what people think of the Shannon 38, referenced below, as a retirement boat for bumping up and down the US East Coast. I realize it's not a C&C but the opinions of many on the list are held in high regard. The dismasting and repair are of special interest. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/Shannon-staysail-Cutter-2644578/Shelter-Island/NY/United-States#.U-qVSONdWSo Cheers, Bob M Ox 33-1 Jax, FL
