Adventure 19


Sail away for £43,950

Cornish Crabbers are world famous for producing high quality trailer-sailers that don’t compromise construction or stability for trailability. The Adventure 19 can be as simple or as sophisticated as you need her to be. The base boat with an outboard engine configuration makes the ideal day-sailer or RCD Cat C coastal cruiser.

A very smart and functional 4 berth interior offers just the right amount of comfort for a couple or young family for short trips and weekending. If sleeping aboard, the high quality cushions, cooking facilities and extra light from an opening forward hatch provide real comfort. If you are looking to adventure along the coast a little then add some basic electronics to turn the Adventure 19 into a true family cruiser.

We also offer this boat with a 9hp Inboard diesel option. She can be towed and launched from her single axle EU compliant road trailer allowing you to visit places far beyond your usual sailing range.
