Cornish Crabber 24 Mk1

[TQA]

There is a nice Harrison Butler here http://yachts.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=131008 less than 10k.

More room and it will sail rings around the crabber. All wood of course I think.

Wonderful pictures, especially the one of heeling.

The bottom two are from Classic Boat July 2004. I had far too much sail up, but didn't want to spoil the photos!
I bought the pics from the photographer. Unfortunately out of the hundred or so he took only the ones from the mag were available, the rest had been lost during an office move ! A great pity, not everyday you get a professional to photograph your boat.

What a pity, that's gutting.
What you have left though, is a good reminder.

I can't recall details.......but, didn't James Hatfield sail a Crabber single-handed almost round the world, raising funds for the British Heart Foundation? I think she was lost in the 'roaring forties' (but can't remember how).

I agree with stUrrock. The Yarmouth 23 http://yarmouth23.co.uk. Now there is a 'proper' little sea boat. One chap just took his single handed across the Atlantic to brazil. There's a good read about his adventure on the Yarmouth site
