Vessel Walkthrough
This is the aft cockpit Cutter rigged two stateroom version of the Shannon 43. Going below from the aft cockpit we find the aft stateroom to port with ensuite head to starboard is the nav station with the galley next forward on the starboard side. To post there is a midships settee with a dinette immediately across on starboard. Continuing forward there is access to the forward stateroom with head to starboard and a v berth with storage under. Engine access can be found under the steps to the aft cockpit. Throughout the interior you will find lockers drawers and storage areas that allow the cruising sailor to properly show the necessities of this cruising lifestyle.
