UK circumnavigations in Corribees

The crew are currently in the car park about 50 yards up the road.

They could get a bit bored if the weather threatens to do what it says it will /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The Corribee was designed by one of Britain's best naval architects.

I met Robert Tucker in the early 1980's when I visited his home on more than one occasion in Hemel Hempstead (I used to live in Hemel Hempstead), you cold never meet a finer man.

He entertained me to tea and biscuits and we chatted long and hard about boat types and designs. His son was there and I believe he now runs the company as Robert passed away in 1998.

At the time, I was the proud owner of a Debutante and its sea-keeping abilities were legendary so I know that the Corribee comes from the same stable. Even 'Sixpence' owns a Tucker Yacht!

All Tucker boats were designed to the Junior Offshore Groups rules (JOG) which stated that the yacht must remain water tight and in case of a knock-down (mast in the water) the boat should be self-righting!

So if you see one for sale, you will be looking at a very well found yacht. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
