2021 Cornish Crabber 24 MK V boat for sale

Broker Remarks

A beautifully presented Cornish Crabber 24 Mk V combining traditional gaff-rig character with modern sailing performance. Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme, the Mk V retains the timeless Crabber styling while offering a refined hull, carbon mast and contemporary systems that make her equally at home on coastal cruising, estuary exploring or extended weekends away.

She is beautifully presented and exceptionally well specified Cornish Crabber 24 Mk V, owned from new by her current owner and clearly maintained to a very high standard throughout.

Combining traditional gaff-cutter styling with modern construction and practical cruising comfort, the Crabber 24 Mk V is renowned for her forgiving handling, shallow draft versatility and timeless character. Her lifting centreboard configuration allows access to shallow waters and drying harbours while retaining excellent sailing performance and stability.

This example benefits from an excellent specification, comprehensive Raymarine electronics package, electric anchor windlass, Featherstream feathering propeller, hot and cold pressurised water system and cockpit-led sail handling. The Yanmar 2YM15 engine has under 65 hours from new and is supported by a full service history.

Comfortable accommodation for four includes a spacious forward double berth, separate heads compartment and practical galley, making her ideal for coastal cruising and extended weekends aboard.

Presented with Coppercoat antifouling, full winter cover and a comprehensive cruising inventory, this one-owner Crabber 24 Mk V represents a rare opportunity to acquire a superbly maintained example of this highly sought-after modern classic.
