Shaw 650 sailboat fleets in Thailand, New Zealand and around the world.
The Shaw 650s sailboat are now spread across the world, from Asia to USA, with a large number of boats in the southern hemisphere. As the number of fiberglass boats increases, we expect to see far more boats taking to the waters in the northern hemisphere. In no particular order.
