forepeak moulding bonded into hull with internal structural bulkheads bonded to both hull and deck mouldings. The hull and deck joint is by way of an overlap or ‘Biscuit Tin Lid’ with GRP bonding.
Deck Construction: Hand laid GRP with Balsa core in way of horizontal load areas. Hard
wood pads under deck fittings and stress points.
Rudder: The rudder is constructed from laminated Plywood with a stainless steel lifting drop plate.The rudder is transom hung on two stainless steel hangings bolted through the transom with Hardwood backing pads.
Ballast: Ballast is by way of iron punchings encapsulated in resin inside the hull keel
moulding. A galvanised steel centerplate forms part of the ballast with a stainless steel
lifting wire leading to a winch lifting system operated from the cockpit.
Manufacturer Provided Description
The Shrimper 21 is the most modern boat in the Cornish Crabber range, designed to
enhance all the magic that the Shrimper series offers with a continued focus on the classic finish and build quality yet offering more space and some new features.
The lifting keel gives a shallow 1’10” draught making her ideal for both cruising and inshore exploring.
Drying moorings are easily accessible keeping running costs to a minimum.The rig is optimised to make the boat easy to prepare for launching using a clever pivoting
bowsprit making mast lifting safe and easy. The very simple track & strap mainsail
attachments streamline the rigging process.
Unusually for a boat of this size the standard boat features a Yanmar 9hp inboard diesel
auxiliary engine. This sets her apart from the other trailer sailers on the market.
The self draining cockpit is well protected with high coamings and has room for up to 6
adults. Spacious cockpit lockers to port and starboard offer dedicated battery, water and gas storage. Teak inlays are a stylish option.
Below deck the accommodation is satisfyingly generous including a well-appointed galley with a double gas burner and fully plumbed sink. A full size double forward v-berth is easily accessible from the saloon with 2 full length settee berths extending under the cockpit. A sea toilet can be fitted as an option under the forward berth.
Every boat is built to order with exterior colours and interior layout finished to your liking.
Top quality deck fittings, sails and boom cover come as standard.
