The Cornish Crabber 22 was a later addition to the line of from Cornish Crabbers, conceived to fill the void left as the larger Crabber 24 became heavier and a less practical proposition as a true ‘trailer sailer’. As with all later Cornish Crabber designs the boat was available as a traditional gaff rig with timber mast and spars or with a modern slab reefing mainsail, alloy mast and spars and cutter rig. Robustly built the Cornish Crabber 22 has proven to be an immensely capable small cruiser.TWIGLETT is a Cornish Cutter 22 variation of the design, featuring the modern cutter rig with alloy spars and slab reefing mainsail.
