Broker's Comments

A versatile and well regarded, design, the Cornish Crabber 17 is ideally suited to the sailing newcomer or the day-boat enthusiast in equal measures.

The Crabber 17 is roomy, and handles superbly both under sail or power. the central, internally mounted engine-well houses a near new (2019) 4hp Selva which has been serviced annually and appears in excellent condition.

This model is unique as she is Bermudan rigged. Built in 1994 for the London Boat Show, the boat benefits from having two owners from new, both of whom have kept her in great condition.

The boat is easily launched and retrieved, from the custom made, break back trailer. The trailer has had a full service Sep 2023 which includes new brake shoes, bearings, bowden cables and jockey wheel. All adjusted correctly and ready to tow. Wheels and tyres are also in good condition.
An ideal opportunity to acquire a well cared for and cleanly presented day-boat with an unbeatable reputation.
