Designed by Oscar & Håkan Södergren, NIKE is an updated and lighter version of the Shogun 43 performance cruiser. She is built for those who want to sail fast, often and well. A yacht that delivers line honours on the course, yet remains composed, intuitive, and quietly luxurious below deck.

As with the Shogun 50, the objective behind the Shogun 43 is to create an all-carbon thoroughbred capable of delivering exceptional speed without the usual compromises. For years, those seeking true high performance cruising have had little choice but to adapt race-bred platforms, accepting the trade-offs in comfort, usability, and short-handed handling that inevitably follow. The Shogun 43 redraws that line.

Constructed from the outset for double-handed sailing at pace, she pairs a fully optimised carbon structure and winning races with systems designed for precision and ease. NIKE is a yacht that is not only fast but accessible in a way that few in this category have managed to achieve.

Recent seasons have seen the Shogun 43 dominate leading double-handed events, taking line honours across the board, proving what the Shogun 43 design promised from the beginning.
