Overview
Cornish Crabber 24 For SaleMeraki is a heavy displacement Gaff Cutter with a well-protected cockpit and is a delight to sail in all weathers. Meraki was built and initially sold in April 2005 and remained in storage with Cornish Crabbers until the original owner finally decided to place her on the market and she was subsequently sold in April 2015 being based in Dartmouth.
Meraki presents superbly throughout and is ready to go for the season, during the period October 2022 to April 2023 Meraki has been thoroughly overhauled. The mast was lowered and the rigging inspected, the spars have been stripped and revarnished, all running rigging has been replaced. The original Cockpit teak faced plywood panels have been replaced with solid teak decking. The engine has been serviced and the stern tube assembly and cutlass bearing have been renewed with the Darglow folding propeller being serviced ready for this season. Engine, hull and propeller anodes have been replaced.
Meraki has been lightly used, is well equipped and generously specified and having been thoroughly overhauled over the winter period is due to be launched on 26th May.
These boats are rare to the second hand market and Meraki therefore represents a solid opportunity for someone looking for a traditional styled sailing yacht.
