Cornish Crabber

Some encouragement to get the 'beer tokens' out of your pocket.

Yes, thank you Rum Pirate. That'll do nicely. Or maybe the Fife cutter, Moonbeam IV.

Not so pretty as the Cornish Yawl, but looks like she has much better headroom than the Shrimper 19, if I recall. That one-tone paint-job could have been more cleverly done - maybe all white, with a broad dark stripe near the gunwale, like the old Hallberg Rassys used, to conceal their high freeboard.

Not at all bad, though.
 
Hmm. I've never seen a Wayfarer or a Squib with guardrails ... and as a 6'4" chap all guardrails are more like triprails to me anyway.

I've sailed my pal's CC17 a couple of times and the lack of guardrails wasn't at all worrying.

Ditto. For guardrails to be any use at all they need to be 24" or preferably 30" tall. That is silly on a sub 20 footer. I had a Sonata with rails 15" high and they were more likely to tip me overboard than keep me on deck.
