Corribee Mk II Sailboats for Sale

Layouts on the Used Market

Two keel layouts define the boat: the fin-keel version at 3ft 0in draft and the bilge-keel version at 2ft 2in. The bilge-keel hull carries its ballast inside the GRP keels and sits upright on a hard or beach, which is the layout most often chosen by sellers emphasizing self-sufficiency. Below, the Mk II gives four berths with a sink and stove under 4ft 8in of headroom — a sit-down cabin, not a stand-up one.

Equipment and Common Upgrades

Some Corribee Mk II boats have small inboard diesels fitted, an upgrade over the transom-outboard norm that addresses the stern's poor motor-mounting geometry. Beyond that, buyer-consequence equipment centers on the self-draining cockpit skin fittings and the skeg-protected rudder as original features worth verifying rather than items to add.

What to Inspect

Look closely at the stern overhang where an outboard would mount — owners note the geometry is not ideal for outboard motors, so check for improvised brackets, stress cracks, or transom thinning from makeshift power. On bilge-keel examples, confirm the ballast remains encapsulated within the GRP keels with no bulging or keel separation at the hull joint. Verify the cockpit self-draining skin fittings are the only through-hulls present and that they are not crazed or weeping, since a minimal fitting count is a design feature, not a gap to fill.

Availability and Buyer's Takeaway

• Check the transom for outboard-mount stress or repairs
• Confirm bilge-keel ballast encapsulation is intact
• Verify only cockpit drainage skin fittings exist and are sound
• Inspect skeg and rudder for impact damage
