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 health ballast ratio the hull performs better than most would expect from a gaffer.
A very lightly used example of the Cornish Crabber 26 KINTAIL II was commissioned by a serial Crabber owner who only kept her for a couple of months. With just her 2nd owner she has benefitted from regular maintance and is presented as a sail away boat in exceptional condition for her age. Her inventory highlights include:
Ashore for the winter at Craobh Marina, the Cornish Crabber 26 KINTAIL II will remain in the yard until the spring when she will be transported south to her new base on the River Hamble.
