Description
Design and Pedigree
The Cornish Crabber 26 is a modern classic, designed by David Thomas and widely admired for her balance of traditional style and modern sailing ability. With her gaff rig and distinctive lines, the Cornish Crabber 26 offers classic appeal, while benefiting from thoughtful contemporary design. Because of this, she remains a popular choice for sailors who value character without compromising usability.
Rig and Sailing Performance
The traditional gaff rig gives the yacht her unmistakable character. At the same time, modern hull design ensures easy handling, good speed, strong pointing ability, and excellent manoeuvrability. As a result, the Cornish Crabber 26 is enjoyable to sail in a wide range of conditions and suits both relaxed cruising and more active sailing.
Accommodation and Interior
Below deck, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious and practical for a yacht of this size. The interior feels bright and welcoming, with good ventilation throughout. This layout works well for weekends aboard or longer coastal trips, while remaining simple and comfortable.
Condition and Usage
‘Freya’ has been lightly used since her launch in 2014 and has clearly been well cared for. She presents in very good condition and feels well sorted throughout.
Navigation and Recent Upgrades
The yacht has benefitted from a number of upgrades, including chart plotter, AIS, autopilot, and solar power. Most recent work includes a full engine service, new running rigging and a professional re-varnish of the wooden spars.
Viewing and Contact
Overall, ‘Freya’ represents a well-specified and lightly used example of a highly regarded design. She is offered in sail-away condition, ready for the coming season.
