‘Annabelle’ is a fine example of the Cornish Yawl, designed by Roger Dongray and built by Cornish Crabbers in 1989
She is the ideal boat for coastal cruising and exploring rivers and creeks helped by a shoal draft & lifting keel. Not only is she seaworthy and practical, but also attractive and fun to sail. Plus she has the maintenance benefits of a modern all-GRP hull & deck but with the beautiful aesthetics of a classic yacht.
‘Annabelle’ has been well looked after by her current enthusiastic owners who have owned her for more than 16 years, during their ownership they have carried out regular upgrades including fitting a new Beta Marine 20hp diesel in 2013, fitting a new feathering prop, prop shaft and new gearbox in 2019, and a full re-wire and new switch panel in 2011 amongst other improvements

Accommodation
The Cornish Yawl can sleep up to 5 people with a raised double berth in the forepeak, two single settee berths in the saloon and a further single in the pilot/quarter berth. The interior is a blend of wooden and painted surfaces giving a traditional yet warm feel.
All berth cushions were recently renewed, supplied by Lang & Potter who supply the same quality fabric to new Princess yachts.
Steps from the cockpit lead down into the main cabin. Immediately to port is the door to the separate heads compartment with a sea toilet (New in May 2023) connected to a holding tank (installed in 2019). There is hanging space within the heads compartment so it can double as a wet locker to keep the saloon free of wet clothing. Aft of the sea toilet there is access through the rear bulkhead to a long storage area under the cockpit seating handy for storing bulky, occasional use items such as the drying-out legs.
Opposite the heads to starboard is the good size chart table area utilising the forward end of the Quarter berth cushion as a navigators seat, with the quarter berth behind.
Forward of the heads on the port side is the galley area with a 2-burner Origo 6000 spirit hob and oven (2010). There is usefully deep storage locker behind the cooker and lockers for provisions above. The chart table is opposite to starboard and doubles as a handy preparation area. The sink is part of the chart table and features hand pumped fresh water faucet. Good storage area beneath the sink/chart table.
The settee/berths are situated either side of the central table which has drop leaves.
Behind the port settee there is an open shelf, while to starboard there are 3 closed lockers with pale-blue painted doors.
Forward there is a large more or less triangular shaped double berth, the aft 1/3rd of this berth can hinge upwards to open up the forward U-shaped area of the saloon seating. There is lots of storage space beneath the forward berth and under the two settee berths in the saloon.

Boat draws only 3ft or 0.90 metre with the centreplate raised and 5ft or 1.52 metres when lowered. This operation is very easy due to the electric winch.
Smart black professionally spray painted hull using a 2 part paint, simulated clinker topsides with contrasting off white/pale grey superstructure. Large self draining cockpit with wooden grate to cockpit sole and cockpit seats. Aft deck with locker storage and mizzen mast. Raised coachroof to give accommodation height. Foredeck with manual windlass and spurling pipe to lead anchor chain to a storage locker near to the keel. Anchor mounted on bow roller for easy deployment.
