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 19foot gaffrigged trailersailer was inspired by traditional West Country working boats, yet it was engineered specifically for the modern leisure sailor who values ease of launch, shallowwater exploration, and classic aesthetics. Built with a heavyduty GRP hull and a distinctive tancolored sail plan, the Shrimper 19 has cultivated a cultlike 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, outboardpowered experience.
