Cornish Crabbers Crabber 24

The Cornish Crabbers 24 MkV is an easy to sail, lifting keel, 4 berth cruiser that boasts delightful traditional looks combined with modern build and design. The modern design creates a cabin that has an abundance of natural light to create a feeling of spaciousness, a surprisingly large heads compartment that is fully enclosed from the main accommodation and a huge cockpit. 

This 2019 craft represents a rare opportunity to purchase a nearly new example of this type and enables you jump the extended delivery times for a new boat...and at a substantial saving over new price.

The comprehensive inventory includes a new electric anchor windlass, Raymarine Axiom 7 plotter, inflatable dinghy, hot & cold water system, new Eberspacher heating, new lazy jacks and much more.

Owner's Comments

I bought Merryn earlier this year, to enjoy some single handed sailing after selling my previous Farr 60. She is a lovely boat to sail and beautifully built.

I am not as young as I used to be and not quite as confident as I thought I would be with single handed sailing. The decision to sell her has been tough, as I love the boat; particularly her good looks and handling.
