Cornish Crabbers Shrimper 17 for sale in Poole United Kingdom

2025 Shrimper 17

"Cornish Crabbers are back!" Order your band new Shrimper 17 now, ready for the 2025 season

Blue Lagoon Marine, the exclusive Cornish Crabbers representative is now ready to take new boat orders for the new season, built to your exact specification. The 17 has a clever in-cockpit space for the outboard such that the propeller is well under the boat and in front of the generous rudder; giving great power and steering control under way or against a foul tide getting home. Don’t be afraid to walk up onto the fore deck. The boat is remarkably stable when needing to anchor or adjust the rig. Lines however lead aft via jamming cleats which makes for very easy single handed sailing. Good quality furlers make jib work easy and drop the centre plate and the 17 will cut a tidy tack to windward, facing up very well. Sit out on the beautiful wood slatted side decks and if you want it to, the boat feel like a well balanced dinghy, or slacken off and return to a more sedate cruiser style.

The specification listed offers a "sail away package"
