The Cornish Crabber 24 was first introduced in 1975 and has proven to be a hugely successful design for the British builder with several revisions of the original basic design maintaining her appeal. In 2017 Andrew Wolstenholme was commissioned by the builders to undertake a full redesign of the Crabber 24, with the brief being to ‘progress the boat’s performance without turning it into an average white racing boat’. The Cornish Crabber 24 MkV was the result of this project. Blending modern technology with her carbon mast, timber gaff and boom with traditional styling the all new Crabber 24 MkV has rejuvenated this modern classic design while maintaining the traditional Cornish Crabbers family identity.
Built to her current owners specifications the Cornish Crabbers 24 MkV EQUINOX is a fully loaded example of the class boasting an extensive inventory which includes:
• Gelcoat and wood work in as new condition
• Copper-coated underwater hull
• Yanmar 2YM15 marine diesel engine with under 80 hours of use
• Featherstream 3 blade, feathering propellor
• Spurs rope cutter
