Cornish Crabber 24 Mk4 – 2008 (Launched 2010)

Exceptional Condition | Yanmar 3YM20 Diesel | Full Standing Headroom | Comprehensive Navigation Equipment

A superb example of the highly sought-after Cornish Crabber 24 Mk4, presented in exceptional condition and offering a rare combination of traditional craftsmanship, impressive accommodation and modern navigation equipment.

Built in 2008 and first launched in 2010, this beautifully maintained example has clearly benefited from considerable care and attention. The Mk4 is particularly desirable, having been constructed to a very high standard, with a quality of workmanship and attention to detail rarely found in a boat of this age.

With her traditional lines, attractive wooden spars and substantial appearance, she has a reassuring presence on the water, feeling much more like a small ship than a 24-foot sailing yacht.

One of the outstanding features of the Mk4 is her full standing headroom, providing a level of comfort and practicality that is increasingly difficult to find in a yacht of this size. Unlike the latest versions, this model offers the benefit of standing comfortably below decks, making her particularly appealing for weekend sailing, coastal cruising and extended time aboard.
