Cornish Shrimpers are very popular for a good reason,  with over 1100 of these built since 1979 they have stayed the test of time. There is an active owners association. There are also regular sailing regattas throughout the year. Great construction quality from Cornish Crabbers. They combine modern easy to care for construction materials. The boats are made with a rainbow selection of hull colours are available. Our one though is a very nice black hull. The Shrimper is a perfect pocket sized cruiser and has stand out good looks of the more traditional design.  The latter point vindicated by inclusion in Classic Boats list of Spirit of Tradition yachts. 

​

When you consider a new Shrimper can set you back as much as £35,000 a well cared for second hand boat like this one presents really excellent value.
