Overview
About this vessel
The Cornish Crabber is without a doubt one of the prettiest boats that you will ever lay eyes on. This particular boat has been in the hands of the same family since she was new and has been a much loved family cruiser. Most recently she has been mainly day sailed but her owner has maintained her to a high standard. Mechanically she was repowered in 2001 and the engine was removed and overhauled in 2024. Her sails and rigging have been regularly replaced and her bright work is in great shape for her years. Below decks is comfy and remarkably spacious when you consider her fairly narrow beam.
