2020 Cornish Crabbers 24MKV

Design and Pedigree
The Cornish Crabber 24 MKV is a modern classic that builds on the timeless lines and proven seaworthiness of the original Crabber 24. In the MKV version, the design was refined to offer improved sailing performance and increased comfort, while still retaining the character the model is known for. As a result, she appeals to sailors who value tradition with modern usability.
Condition and Usage
‘Ithaca’ is an immaculate 2020 example that has seen very light use from new. With just 150 hours on the engine, she presents in excellent condition throughout. Because of this low usage, she feels fresh, well cared for, and ready to enjoy.
Keel and Cruising Flexibility
A key feature of the Cornish Crabber 24 MKV is her lifting keel arrangement. This provides excellent flexibility, allowing the yacht to sail safely offshore while also opening up the option to explore shallow creeks, estuaries, and inlets. As a result, she suits a wide variety of cruising plans and locations.
Sailing and Handling
The Cornish Crabber 24 MKV offers easy and reassuring sailing performance. She is simple to handle, yet rewarding to sail, which suits both experienced sailors and those stepping up to cruising. The layout and balance make her comfortable in a variety of conditions.
Cockpit and Deck Space
On deck, the yacht benefits from a large cockpit with good storage lockers, creating a practical and sociable space. This makes day sailing relaxed and extended trips more comfortable, especially when sailing with family or friends.
Accommodation and Comfort
Below deck, accommodation is provided for up to four people, making the yacht surprisingly versatile for her size. Comfort is further enhanced by diesel heating, which extends the sailing season and adds to the sense of security and warmth aboard.
Navigation and Equipment
The yacht is fitted with a tiller pilot and an integrated Raymarine navigation system, which supports straightforward coastal cruising. Together, these systems make passage planning and short-handed sailing easier and more enjoyable.
