Cornish Crabber 22

The Cornish Crabber 22 is the next logical step up from the Cornish Shrimper. Staying with the shallow draft, lifting keel theme, the Cornish Crabber 22 is easily managed with a simple gaff cutter sail plan. The headsails on the Cornish Crabber 22 are individually the same size as that on the shrimper which makes them easy to trim without the aid of winches and single handed sailing is still a reality. A little more freeboard than the Cornish Shrimper and the optional addition of guard wires makes her a seaworthy Category B offshore cruiser whilst still capable of being towed behind a sturdy 4X4 on the optional twin axle road trailer.

Down below in the Cornish Crabber 22, you get the luxury of a separate forward cabin and a cooker with double burner and grill. The standard boat comes complete with the latest Yanmar 2YM15 inboard diesel engine which can also provide pressurised hot water as an option. The Cornish Crabber 22 is fast becoming the peoples favourite with many long standing Cornish Shrimper owners trading up for a little more comfort without losing that bit of charm they are so fond of.
