Designed by the renowned Swedish duo Oscar & Håkan Södergren, this modern performance cruiser represents the cutting edge of Scandinavian yacht design philosophy. Built by Shogun Yachts since 2020, the Shogun 50 showcases advanced construction techniques with carbon fiber and vacuum-injected epoxy over a sandwich core, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratios that serious sailors demand. The yacht's lifting keel configuration with dual rudders makes it particularly versatile for both coastal exploration and offshore passages. With a draft that can be reduced from its full 10.83 feet, shallow anchorages and challenging harbors become accessible while maintaining excellent upwind performance when fully deployed. The fractional sloop rig provides balanced sail handling and reduces pitching moments in seaway conditions. Performance credentials are impressive, with a sail area to displacement ratio of 34.73 indicating genuine sailing ability rather than motor-sailing dependence. The low comfort ratio of 19.09 reflects the yacht's performance-oriented nature, while the capsize screening formula of 1.97 demonstrates inherent stability suitable for serious offshore work. This combination makes the Shogun 50 ideal for experienced sailors seeking a fast, capable yacht for both spirited coastal sailing and extended cruising adventures.
