The deck of the Shoalsailer was designed and built with warm weather in mind. The cabin trunk and side decks are insulated with foam core, and the molded storm hood that covers most of the trunk top creates additional protection from the sun. There are four opening skylight hatches with screens along with seven opening portlights for full ventilation below decks. The wide side decks allow easy access to the bow from the cockpit. The Shoalsailer utilizes Shannon's hull to deck joint, long recognized as one of the strongest in the industry.
In addition to fabulous sailing, the Shoalsailer also provides a huge comfortable cockpit for all the out-of-doors enjoyment that only boating provides. For lounging, swimming, etc., the Shoalsailer is the ultimate on the waterfront home. A unique, convertible bimini top provides protection from the sun or weather under sail, at anchor or pulled up on the beach. The special "in/out seating" in the cockpit provides instant protection under the bimini or seating out in the sun for a tan on the wide coaming seats. A large cockpit table creates the perfect place for dining and entertaining guests. To make sailing and docking easier, the Shoalsailer is equipped with dual helm/wheel stations and dual engine controls at the rear of the cockpit. The large "sugar scoop" transom swim platform makes for easy and safe boarding. With the swim ladder, the Shoalsailer is great for all water sports. Unlike many multihulls, the helm stations are placed aft so the helmsperson does not have their back to the family and guests and can take part in the conversations and fun. Electronics and navigational equipment is located on a swivel pedestal for ease of visibility at both helms stations.
The Shoalsailer has a roomy, full-sized head aft (optional stall shower) that is ventilated by an opening port and overhead opening hatch. Inside the head is a shower, wet locker, medicine cabinet, and sink vanity with a Corian countertop.
