Here are photos of a beautiful Cornish Crabber for sale at
Burnham Yacht Harbour. I featured a similar one at the same location last
January*.
Crabber 22 yachts are very sturdily built and they are equipped
with top quality fittings. Unlike many fibreglass yachts they have bags of
character derived from traditional working boats. The hull has firm bilges, an upright
stem, a moderately fine underwater entry, sweetly flowing lines to an angled, transversely
curved transom above a deep skeg for directional stability. The skeg provides a
strong mounting for the base of the rudder and protects the hull when the boat
takes to the ground. Her gaff cutter rig
with canting bowsprit and furling foresails makes for easy handling. This particular
boat comes with a road trailer, and in 2013 she was fitted with a Yanmar 2YM15
diesel engine. Unusually she has a pushpit, stanchions and guard wires.
The asking price is £33,950, which is £19,500 more than the
one for sale in January, but the latter did not have a road trailer. A new Crabber
22 will set you back £67,000!
