I stumbled across this video a couple of weeks ago. I am falling in love with the boat, the Welch’s story, and the details as told in Waterborne. As a retired USAF pilot (who flew a lot with the Navy too) I am connecting to Capt Michael on many levels, but it’s the beautiful writings of Marguerite that are closing the deal. I’m savoring every word of your book. We are currently learning to sail our Catalina 22’ in San Francisco. We intend to take the 14 yr circumnavigation adventure torch from you as soon as the stars align. Just like your journal entry from 17 Dec 99. Fair winds and following seas on your canal adventures.
Hi guys. Your boat is beautiful inside and out. I used to live in NYC and went up to Shannon and met Walter shultz and David walters when they first founded shannon. I think it was 1979 if my memory serves me correct. I was going to buy a 38 and did not and now i wish i had. They are truly well built yachts and are a dying breed. A lot of boats now have no classic lines and down below look likes its IKEA. Good luck selling her and great journeys in your River barge. cheers.
You have not just presented a beautiful boat but also a great partnership and an anti aging panacea. It is too early for me to stop working but your video makes it a great target to aim for. And I keep sailing on my small daysailer (in Dubai) until I can make the switch.
Hi Andrew, yes Ithaca is still for sale. I am the listing agent and would be happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to shoot me an email at grady@northpointyachtsales.com. In the meantime, as of today(2/8/2021) she is listed for $109,500. She is a wonderful boat that I think you would appreciate as much in person as watcher her video. I look forward to hearing from you.
Beautiful boat folks. I figure I should learn to sail before I put my grubby paws on such wonderful looking boats first though. It would be a shame to carve a furrow in Terra Firma with a boat like that due to major inexperience.

We love hearing this! Thanks for sharing!
Of all the different formats of marketing videos I have seen, this one is by far the best. Great work North Point!
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Luke.
Thanks Luke! Love to get the feedback.

Yes yes yes I would love to buy this boat and sail around the world!!!

Thank you!
great interview. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved your book
I have a Shannon 38. I'm biased, but I'd say it's the best boat ever made.
We all have our favorite boats!
Beautiful! ...
Thank you, Jeff!
i just bought the book. thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
This would be the finest boat for my wife and I to complete the last chapter of our lives in.
If I wasn’t seventeen I’d buy this boat on the spot.
Thanks for watching, Alec!
I will buy her, New Zealand.
Is she still for sale? And if so please indicate asking price. I can provide email if you prefer to contact directly

Did she sell ?
How many babies were made on that boat? I'm guessing lots.

We are happy to help you find any sailing classes! If you're local, we have several great programs around. We would love to get you on the water.
Beautiful yacht, however just one cabin. Difficult to have friends or family stay the weekend or even invite them for a passage.
