Description
Cornish Crabber 24 MKV For Sale.
Built and initially sold in August 2018 and only with her second owner, an experienced sailor who recently crossed the English Channel in her.
"Tara" is a heavy-displacement Gaff Cutter with a well-protected cockpit and is a delight to sail in all weathers.
Whilst retaining the timeless lines and proven seaworthiness of the original Crabber 24, the modern Wolstenholme designed MKV version offers improved sailing performance and increased comfort. With a "big boat" feel within a 24-foot footprint, the MKV utilises a redesigned deck mold and a more efficient underwater profile to appeal to sailors moving down from larger cruisers or those seeking a high-spec coastal hopper with the ability of creek crawling and drying out on sandy bottoms.
"Tara" Represents a solid opportunity for someone looking for a traditional styled sailing yacht!
