What the fleet has seen

The Shogun Yachts 50, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Shogun Yachts 50 is a 15.2-meter fractional sloop designed by Oscar and Hakan Sodergren, built by Shogun Yachts since 2020. It features a lifting keel with dual rudders, a 3.3-meter draft, and a displacement of 7900 kg. The design includes an extendable bowsprit, a main sail area of 75 m², a self-tacking jib of 60 m², a Code 0 of 145 m², and a gennaker of 230 m². Its predecessor, the Shogun Yachts 43, a 43-foot carbon-fiber performance cruiser, demonstrated high performance in fresh winds in the Stockholm archipelago, though its narrow 3.7-meter beam and lightweight construction necessitated early reefing.1:15 The Shogun Yachts 43's interior prioritizes weight savings with carbon fiber construction while maintaining comfortable cruising accommodations.3:35
