About this Cornish Crabber Mk 1

English

This Cornish Crabber is no ordinary Cornish Crabber. If, you are a looking for a first-class version of this ever-popular marque look no further - this one is for you and must be the best one on the market.

Nellie, built in 1979 hull number 237, is reluctantly on the market.

A new 16 HP Beta engine fitted in 2020 plus major refit in 2021 with all new sails would alone make this a truly remarkable vessel. However, there is more.....

First of all, she sports an extended bow sprit to accommodate the new powerful genoa plus she is also rigged for the cruising folk to sail single handed if need be.

Finally, she is no slouch, she raced in the 90th Round the Island Race and won the Discovery Trophy (Old Gaffers Division 2)

In summary with Nellie you can be a competitive racer or if you prefer a fast passage maker.

The best of both worlds. A peaceful evening cruise and dinner aboard at anchor. Then eat them for breakfast on the start line in the morning !
