Accommodations
"Wild Goose" is a unique opportunity to purchase a proven Shannon 43 offshore cutter launched in June of 1988. This yacht was optimized to live aboard and to sail shorthanded. The first owner improved the interior design when the yacht was built with an enlarged salon and owner's cabin. "Wild Goose" has been meticulously maintained since delivery. The current and second owners are both engineers with a specialty in Ocean Engineering. They have made the ongoing investment in time and money to assure the yacht is always in immaculate condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. Over the past four years they have further improved the yacht with upgrades and many custom additions.
