Description

The Cornish Shrimper is a hugely popular trailer sailer with attractive lines and lots of character. Easily handled, these pocket cruisers have lively performance, with an active racing fleet, and enough accommodation for the occasional weekend away. Their lifting keel and rudder make them ideal for estuary cruising and shallow water exploration. 'Yuletide' has been in her current ownership since 2019 but because of her owner's other commitments, she has been laid up unused since 2022. As a result, 'Yuletide' will require some small amount of 'recommissioning' and the exterior woodwork requires varnishing, which is reflected in the price.
