The Cornish Shrimper 19 stands as the most successful model produced by Cornish Crabbers, with over 1,100 hulls launched since its introduction in 1979. Designed by Roger Dongray, this 19-foot gaff-rigged trailer-sailer was inspired by traditional West Country working boats, yet it was engineered specifically for the modern leisure sailor who values ease of launch, shallow-water exploration, and classic aesthetics. Built with a heavy-duty GRP hull and a distinctive tan-colored sail plan, the Shrimper 19 has cultivated a cult-like following across Europe. Its success lies in its duality; it is small enough to be towed behind a family car, yet robust enough to handle coastal passages that would intimidate most vessels of its size. The model has undergone several iterations, transitioning from the early Mark I versions to the refined Mark II, and later introducing the "Adventure" variant, which caters to those seeking a more basic, outboard-powered experience.
