The Shogun 69 is a high-performance cruising yacht, created for sailors who want exceptional speed and a direct connection to the sailing experience, while maintaining the comfort, range and practicality expected of a 69-foot cruising yacht. Designed for easy handling with a small crew, she delivers performance without adding unnecessary complexity. 

At 69 feet, the Shogun 69 combines a light displacement of approximately 19 tonnes with full carbon construction and a powerful, efficient sail plan. A 160 m² mainsail and 106 m² self-tacking jib provide generous sail area for fast passage making while keeping manoeuvres simple and efficient. For more performance, a larger overlapping headsail can be carried when conditions, or the racecourse, call for additional power. 

The result is a yacht designed to make high average speeds with ease. Long passages become shorter, light-wind sailing becomes genuinely rewarding, and the performance is always there when you want to push harder. 

The exterior of the Shogun 69 combines a clean, semi-flush deck with a spacious and flexible cockpit, designed to work equally well while sailing and at anchor. Recessed running rigging keeps lines away from the deck, creating a clean, uncluttered surface and clear passage around the yacht. 

The cockpit layout has been developed around efficient sailing with a small crew or double-handed. The essential sail controls are concentrated around the helm positions, creating an intuitive working area and keeping manoeuvres simple. The yacht’s low displacement also contributes directly to easier handling, with lower loads making a yacht of this size more manageable and rewarding to sail. 

The central cockpit provides a flexible social and living space, clearly separated from the primary sail-handling functions. This allows the cockpit to remain comfortable and usable while underway without compromising access to the controls. 

At the stern, a dedicated dinghy garage keeps the tender securely stowed and the deck clear. The opening transom creates a large swim platform with direct access to the water and provides a natural extension of the cockpit when at anchor.  

At the bow, a large sail locker provides practical storage for sails and equipment, while the fully integrated anchor system keeps the foredeck clear and maintains the clean deck and hull lines. 

The result is an exterior that combines clean design with practical cruising functions and an easy-handling cockpit layout — built around the idea that a 69-foot yacht should still be a boat you actively want to sail. 

Low displacement is about more than speed. A lighter yacht means lower loads, lighter handling and less effort required to sail the boat well. 

The Shogun 69 has therefore been designed from the outset around efficient sailing with a small crew or double-handed. The cockpit layout brings the essential sailing functions within easy reach of the helms, while hydraulic furling headsails and the self-tacking jib make manoeuvres straightforward even with very few people on deck. 

A Code 0 and gennaker extend the sail inventory for reaching and light-air sailing, allowing the boat to maintain speed across a wide range of conditions without unnecessarily increasing the workload on board. 

The result is a 69-footer intended to be actively sailed rather than simply managed. 

The Shogun 69 is conceived as a semi-custom yacht, providing a well-developed platform that can be shaped around the intentions of each owner. From fast, short-handed cruising to longer passages and a more performance-oriented specification, the yacht can be configured to reflect how and where she will be sailed. 

Options such as the lifting keel and water-ballast system allow the balance between performance, cruising versatility and racing capability to be taken further, while retaining the fundamental characteristics of the Shogun 69. 

The interior of the Shogun 69 is focused on practical, well-considered spaces for life at sea, providing the comfort and functionality required for longer periods aboard while remaining true to the yacht’s performance-focused character. Skylights and hull glazing bring natural light into the accommodation and create a stronger connection with the surroundings. 

The primary layout is designed around an owner operated yacht and features three main cabins, including a spacious forward owner’s cabin with its own en-suite bathroom and two additional aft cabins. A separate midship crew cabin with Pullman berths accommodates up to two crew and can alternatively be configured to provide additional storage, depending on the owner’s intended use.  

At the centre of the yacht, a large galley is positioned with practical access to the dining area, creating a natural connection between cooking, dining and the main living space. The arrangement prioritises efficient use of space, good circulation and practical storage throughout. 

Practical features for life at sea are integrated into the layout, including a dedicated drying cabinet and separate installation compartments for electronics, hydraulics and generator equipment. Keeping these systems organised and accessible simplifies service and maintenance while separating technical equipment from the main accommodation. 

The presented arrangement is the primary layout for the Shogun 69, but it is not a fixed solution. As a semi-custom yacht, the interior layout, materials, finishes and equipment can be developed around the requirements and intended use of each owner.
