The Cornish Crabber 22 is a purpose-built modern classic that bridged the gap between the smaller Shrimper range and the larger, blue-water capable Crabber 26. Designed by the late David Thomas—famed for the Sigma and Elizabethan ranges—the Crabber 22 was introduced to provide a more sophisticated hull form compared to the original 1970s-era Crabbers. Unlike its predecessor (the original 24-foot Crabber, which began life as a 22-foot design), this modern 22-foot model features a contemporary underwater profile with a more efficient lifting keel and a significantly improved interior. Built in Rock, Cornwall, the boat serves as a "Goldilocks" model for those seeking a trailerable vessel that remains substantial enough for cross-channel cruising or extended coastal hops. While the brand recently underwent a transition in ownership, as reported by Practical Boat Owner, the 22 remains a sought-after second-hand vessel due to its high build quality and "spirit of tradition" aesthetics.
