This Shannon 47 has semi-gloss varnished cherry interior joinerwork hand buffed to a gleaming luster, inlaid birdseye maple wood tables, solid teak and holly cabin sole, and embossed glass cabinet and shower doors. Shannon-designed hydraulic multi- level dinette/cocktail table, washer/dryer, dry goods pantry, and wine cellar under the cabin sole are just a few of the amenities of this Shannon 47.
One of the 47 interior layouts designed by Walt Schulz features a large aft guest cabin with a full-sized double berth adjacent to the aft head. The spacious forward owners' cabin features a queen-sized centerline double berth with the pillows on a headboard located aft under the overhead hatch. The swivel-mount reading chair also serves the make-up/vanity center. The separate stall shower in the forward head includes a seat.
The owners' cabin has an abundance of hanging lockers, drawers, and book shelves. The main cabin has a slide-out double berth/settee to starboard and a drop down pilot/sea berth and two lounge chairs to port. The pilot/sea berths hinged extension also creates out-of-sight stowage for duffel bags and bedding.

Shannon 47/52 Interiors
Every Shannon 47 interior is custom created to suit the tastes and requirements of the individual owner. A sailboat should support a comfortable lifestyle, whether it is used for weekend cruises or for circumnavigations that last years. People go sailing for pleasure, adventure, exploration, and being close to nature. A boat should enhance these experiences. At Shannon, there are no limitations imposed on the design of the interior layouts because of a molded hull liner or fiberglass pan. There are no standard modules that must be incorporated into layout. Selections of the many layouts for the Shannon 47 include a forward cabin with centerline double berth or traditional V-berths, two heads, separate stall showers, one or two guest cabins with a double berths or over and under singles, dedicated nav station, and a big main salon with various table and settee seating/berth options.
