Description

A beautifully presented Cornish Crabber 24 Mk V, combining traditional gaff-rig character with modern sailing performance. Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme,the Mk V retains the timeless Crabber styling while offering a refined hull, lightweight carbon mast and contemporary systems that make her equally at home on coastal cruising, estuary exploring or extended weekends away. This latest version of the Crabber 24 has a lifting centre board allowing her draft to be reduced from 1.4 metres to 0.74 metres making sailing in shallow water areas easier. We have owned her from new and have enjoyed many good sails in her.
