Featured in Ferenc Mate's THE WORLD'S BEST SAILBOATS, Shannon yachts are highly regarded for their classic lines, superb craftsmanship, and rugged construction.  The Shannon 28 is considered by many to be the ultimate pocket cruiser.  With her fastidious maintenance, and many recent upgrades and refits, LAKOTA stands out among all the Shannon 28s.  

In about 2011, the previous owner of LAKOTA pursued a "no-holds-barred" refit and upgrade project with the most talented Shannon craftsmen and shipwrights.  Money was no object !!

This offering on the brokerage market represents a rare opportunity to own a classic yacht in excellent condition.
