The Cornish Crabber 24 Mk I represents a pivotal moment in the British "tradboat" revival of the 1970s. Designed by Roger Dongray, who originally penned the lines for a 24foot wooden gaff cutter for his own use, the design was so wellreceived that it birthed a fiberglass production run that continues to define the Cornish Crabbers brand today. The Mk I is characterized by its heavyduty GRP hull, traditional gaff cutter rig, and an iconic silhouette featuring a bowsprit and a boomkin. It was built to satisfy sailors who demanded the aesthetic and seakindly motion of a 19thcentury pilot boat but desired the reduced maintenance of modern materials. As a heavydisplacement cruiser with a long keel and a generous beam, the 24 Mk I was never intended to win aroundthebuoys races; instead, it was engineered for coastal exploration and the ability to "dry out" in tidal harbors thanks to its shallowdraft keel and ironshod bottom.
