2019 Cornish Crabbers Crabber 24 Mkv

Cornish Crabber 24 Mk.V – 2019 £65,000 ‘Annisette’ was delivered in March 2019 and then sold as a barely-used, six month old example in October of that same year to the current owners who, in effect, have been the prime users of the boat since new. She was highly spec’d from the factory in the first place and our clients chose to add a sprayhood, full cockpit enclosure and a bespoke, heavyweight overall laying-up cover. The underwater surfaces have been ‘Coppercoated’ too. The design draws upon experience gained in the building of the earlier Cornish Yawl, featuring a ‘Breton’-style double berth forward, whose ‘head’ end may be conveniently folded to maximise the amount of volume within lower seating within the midship are of the hull. The hull has similar beam to length ratios as the original Crabber’s hull, again offering more volume than the earlier Crabber or Yawls designs and the heads compartment is genuinely bigger than that of the yawls. Again, the cockpit is much more spacious than the earlier boats. This boat is beautifully clean, still with that ‘new’ boat freshness inside and has only been left without her overall cover over her this autumn for the convenience of potential viewings. She is ashore in her usual boatyard, all of about three miles from the owners’ home. Anyone looking to save many ££’s against the price of a new example, or wanting to upgrade from an older Cornish Crabber should not hesitate to pick up the phone and make an appointment to view. She’s lovely. Many more photos are available in our ‘cloud’- based archive for this yacht. In common with the preceding Cornish Crabbers’ Yawl 24 the main cabin utilises a double level arrangement, with a ‘Breton’-style open double berth right forward and a wide, U-shaped seating plan at the lower level to be able to offer two more - but single - berths beneath. The head of the double berth is formed by a transversely hinged panel, which when in its ‘down’ position provides the upholstered backrest to those seated at the forward end of the dining/lounging arrangement. There is a small, pedestal-mounted table that may, by its design incorporating double pivots be positioned to one side of the main sole area, or brought out to be on the centreline for convenient dining with people opposite each other. Coachroof windows to either side are opening for good cross-flow of ventilation. With no pretensions to having a quarter berth, the galley and fully enclosed heads compartment areas are maximised. The galley is of simple L-shape but relatively generous in the amount of stowage that has been incorporated, with two large closed lockers beneath the work surfaces, closed lockers beneath the starboard side deck and a top-accessed cool box outboard of the sink. A stainless steel sink is fed with pressurised cold and warm water. There is even a 240V AC socket by which an electric kettle may be boiled - if indulging in a marina berth with AC shore support. The heads compartment is fa
