The overall weight of the Shogun 50 is only 7 900 kg, out of which 45% is found in the keel bulb. She has a retractable keel, with a blade made of carbon, which allows the draft to decrease from 3.3 m to 2 m – by hydraulics.
With her large twin rudders, the Shogun 50 is extremely steady on the helm and safe bigger breeze. Boasting all the equipment and features required for full-on offshore racing, she responds very well to trim and tuning. Sail management is made simple thanks to the large cockpit and a spacious area down the companionway below deck. In addition, you have a 2 m3 storage locker for sails in the bow.
Spray rails, you might wonder? They prevent the bow from diving deep into waves when surfing and keeps the yacht charging on the top of the waves. The rails act as footsteps for anyone working by the bowsprit. Finally, the spray rails keep the person on the bow dry - a dry bowman is happy bowman, a happy bowman is efficient.
