Cornish Crabbers Cornish Yawl (1989) for sale in Argyll, United Kingdom

Summary

A classic beauty with a traditional touch, the 1989 Cornish Crabbers Cornish Yawl is up for sale. Located in Argyll, United Kingdom, this stunning piece of craftsmanship measures 9.29 metres in length and has a beam of 2.59 metres. Built around the same hull and deck design later used in Cornish Crabber 24 designs, the Yawl is widely admired for her coastal cruising capabilities and overall appeal.

A retractable centreboard optimises sailing performance and allows access to shallower anchorages. The boat comfortably accommodates up to five people, boasting a well-designed galley, separate heads compartment and chart table.

About this Cornish Crabbers Cornish Yawl

English

The Cornish Yawl is built on the same hull and deck design which went on to underpin later Cornish Crabber 24 designs. With their traditional lines and rig the boats have proven to be popular as coastal cruisers and are greatly admired by passers-by in any anchorage marina. With the removable bowsprit enhancing the sail area considerably her performance in all weathers is admirable while the yawl rig provides greater flexibility in the sail plan when in heavy weather. With her retractable centreboard improving sailing performance over the later designs she is ideally suited to exploring anchorages too shallow for most yachts.
