2002 – Cornish Crabbers 22 Mk2 with a Yanmar 1GM10 Engine

Grumpy Bear is an excellent example of this timeless design from Cornish Crabbers and with her lifting keel, she makes exploring shallower creeks and rivers a breeze.

The Crabber 22 has many features of the larger yachts built by Cornish Crabbers, and comes with a twin axle trailer able to be towed behind a sturdy vehicle. This gives the owner the versatility of the shrimper 19 with almost as much cabin space as the crabber 24.

The crabber 22 interior is light and spacious. The ingenious centerboard is designed to be raised and lowered single handed and the pivoting bowsprit helps in easily raising and lowering the mast as well as saving you costs on mooring fees.

The powerful engine delivers plenty of power and under sail the Crabber 22 is light and agile, often outpacing much larger yachts.
