About the Shogun 50

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.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 34.73
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 45.57
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 76.88
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 19.09
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 1.97
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 9.15 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 2,119.18 pounds/inch
