PICTURES OF THE NEW ADVENTURE 21 COMING SOON – ADVENTURE 19 SHOWN

The Adventure 21 is the Bermudan rigged version of the Shrimper 21. More contemporary in finish and fixtures with aluminium spars and white sails whilst still retaining the high quality Crabbers are famous for.

The lifting keel gives a shallow 1’10” draught making her ideal for both cruising and inshore exploring. Drying moorings are easily accessible keeping running costs to a minimum.

The rig is optimised to make the boat easy to prepare for launching using a clever pivoting bowsprit making mast lifting safe and easy.

Unusually for a boat of this size the standard boat features a Yanmar 9hp inboard Diesel. This sets her apart from the other trailer sailors on the market.

The self draining cockpit is well protected with high coamings and has room for up to 6 adults. Spacious cockpit lockers to port and starboard offer dedicated battery, water and gas storage. Teak inlays are a stylish option.

Below deck the accommodation is satisfyingly generous including a well-appointed galley with a double gas burner and fully plumbed sink. A full size double forward v-berth is easily accessible from the saloon with 2 full length settee berths extending under the cockpit. A sea toilet can be fitted as an option under the forward berth.

Every boat is built to order with exterior colours and interior layout finished to your liking. Top quality deck fittings, sails and boom cover come as standard.
