About
Marketing Description
"Salty" is an exceptional, highly coveted 1996 Mark 2 model of the legendary Cornish Shrimper 19. Designed by Roger Dongray, this British-built pocket cruiser perfectly blends timeless traditional aesthetics with modern glassfibre practicality. While the Shrimper class is justly famous for its high-quality build, characterful gaff rig, and beautiful wooden spars, "Salty" stands entirely apart from her peers. Validated by a glowing 2024 valuation survey, every inch of this boat has been prepared so the next owner can step aboard and sail away immediately. Including a brand new Yanmar 1GM10 fitted in 2024, "Salty" has been maintained to an uncompromising standard and fitted with premium, big-boat technology rarely seen on a vessel of this size, including state-of-the-art Raymarine Axiom 9 S Chartplotter. She represents the absolute pinnacle of weekend coastal cruising and characterful day sailing. "Salty" is not just another used Shrimper; she is a masterclass in how a pocket cruiser should be kept. Available now for a discerning sailor who demands the very best in detail, capability, and presentation.Available for viewings now please call
