Description
Designed by David Thomas to create a new design in the Crabber range for those who started on Shrimpers and Crabber 22 to move up to. The Cornish Crabbers 26 with her full-sectioned hull and higher freeboard fulfils the design criteria with generously sized berths and standing headroom in the saloon. Below the waterline, the design features some modern tweaks on the traditional hull sections, with the trailing edge of the keel tapered to improve water flow over the foil section rudder, improving response under power and sail. Combined with the improved profile of the bilge keels and a healthy ballast ratio, the hull performs better than most would expect from a gaffer. Cornish Crabber 26 hull number 1, EOWYN has been based on he West Coast of Scotland since being purchase by her current owner in 2017. Predominately used for single handed cruising she has proven to be a solid and reliable cruising boat for Scottish waters safely carrying her skipper around the coast and islands.
