MOre info: pics to come!
This Shannon 28 is ready to go sailing! We left
Maine in September and sailed her down the
east coast, then cruised the Bahamas for the past 3 months. We just arrived in
Florida this week, where we plan to sell her before returning to Maine.

Our Shannon 28 (Tiny Bubbles II) is a young sailboat, having spent all her years in New England's short seasons. My wife and I will always be pocket cruisers at heart, having spent our first 3 years of marriage cruising across the Pacific in a small sailboat. We are a
family of 5 now, and our crew members are not getting any smaller, so it is time to sell our beloved Tiny Bubbles II.
Our Shannon 28 has been maintained to the highest standard. We have prepared her for long range cruising, and we have sailed her along Maine's coast each summer. In September 2017 we began a
family adventure, cruising her south through every state on the east coast! She is the perfect
boat for such undertakings, with her 4'3"
draft and 44' bridge clearance. My wife always says, "When the
kids are grown, and it's just the 2 of us again, I want to go back to the Shannon 28."
Info:
The Shannon 28 remains one of the favorite
classic models of the Shannon line. Every conceivable item, from
hull design to the layout of the
galley dish locker, was incorporated to produce the finest yacht possible.
The interior of Tiny Bubbles II is finished in handcrafted
teak in a satin finish. The sole is
teak and holly. The interior is configured in the highly desired Shannon "B" layout with wrap-around main
cabin settee.
Starting forward, there is access to the
anchor locker. Next is the double V-berth with open shelves to port and starboard and
storage under. Just aft of the V-berth are settees port and starboard with a centerline drop down, teak table. The settees slide inboard to form two more berths. These berths are equipped with lee cloths for secure
offshore sleeping. Interior
cushions are
navy blue Sunbrella
fabric, with ripstop nylon covers for protection.
Outboard of the settees, port and starboard, are two enclosed louver-door lockers and open shelves. Aft of the port berth is a hanging locker, followed by an enclosed
head area.
The
head includes two medicine cabinets, wet hanging locker and hamper.
Plumbing includes a
stainless steel sink and
shower, both with hot and cold pressure
water, a Wilcox-Crittenden
marine toilet with
holding tank and direct discharge seacock.
Opposite to starboard is the well-appointed
galley. The
stainless steel sink is forward, served by hot and cold pressure
water with additional manual fresh
water pump. The two-burner
propane gas
stove with an
oven is amidships and the large (6 cu ft)
icebox is aft. There are numerous lockers for
storage and a unique folding counter extension to left of sink, knife rack and spice rack. Six
bronze opening
ports with screens offer good ventilation. Double hinged forward
cabin hatch and
Bomar overhead
hatch both with teak framed screens.
