Comments

The Cornish Crabbers Pilot is a modern classic, with beautiful lines and with a mannered performance. This special example was fitted out to a high standard by Robertsons of Woodbridge, on a Cornish Crabbers basic boat. She has been in her present ownership for 18 years and has been well maintained by Robertsons during this period. A good opportunity to acquire a sort after classic, but manageable, quality yacht in good order.  Viewing by appointment through Howard Ford Marine Sales.
