I am thinking of buying secondhand Cornish Crabber 24, I would be interested to hear of any reviews,good points,bad points and general comments.

A mate of mine bought an older one last season and has been very pleased with it, seems to be a good sea boat with reasonable accommodation.

Can confirm what LJS said, was on one in a blow a few years ago and she seemed built like the proverbial.
In my op the cabin seemed abit on the cramped side...but of course that has its advantages in rough weather.
Pricewise they are fairly expensive as they tend to hold their value very well.

Lovely little boats.One possible drawback is ,I believe the class rules require owners to wear fishermans smocks, red neckerchiefs and smoke a pipe.or is that just OGA's in general?

Thanks Dan Tribe I do not have those items but i do have a stripey Bretton top and cap, would that do?

Yes but only when its very warm.otherwise wear trousers.
