The Cornish Crabber 24 is a well built, attractive sailing cruiser, based on traditional West Country workboat lines. Their heavy displacement, combined with a deep cockpit make them comfortable and safe to sail in all conditions. The generous sail area will give good performance in light airs and a moderate draft allows shallow water exploration. This example is presented in good order and an early viewing is recommended.
