Description

2005 Crabbers Cornish Shrimper 19 MKII for sale.

The Cornish Shrimper 19 is a British tailorable sailboat that was designed by Roger Dongray, inspired by traditional Shrimp Fishery boat designs and first built in 1979.

The Cornish Shrimper 19 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of hand-laid, solid glass fibre, with wood trim and wooden spars. It has a gaff rig sloop with a wooden bowsprit, a plumb stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a stub keel with a centreboard. It displaces 2,348 lb (1,065 kg). The boat has a draft of 4ft (1.22 m) with the centreboard extended and 1ft 6ins (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat has a classic blue hull that appeals to sailors from any generation and a build quality that has led to her reputation as one of the best British production Gaffers of all time. Crabbers have built over 1100 Cornish Shrimpers since 1979 with the original boats still being sailed all over the world.

The self-draining cockpit is roomy compared to other boats of her size and the companionway leads down to a classic 2 berth arrangement layout and a sea toilet. A shallow draught and lifting keel allow for sailing to tranquil coves & creeks taking the ground around a tide with ease.

The yacht is fitted with a Yanmar 1GM 9HP (7kW) diesel inboard engine renewed in 2019 and serviced every year, the latest being November 2023.

The copper coating has just been touched up and the topside polished.
