Launch of the Cornish Shrimper 21 (2014–2015)
- The Cornish Shrimper 21 was introduced around 2014–2015.
- It was designed as a direct evolution of the Shrimper 19, not a replacement.
- Early demand was strong, with boats sold off-plan before production began.
The design brief was clear:
- Keep the “modern classic” gaffer aesthetic
- Improve cockpit size and onboard accommodation
- Maintain trailer-sailer practicality
