With her easily handled high peaked gaff rig and lifting keel, she bears all the characteristics of the outstanding Cornish Crabber range.

The Shrimper 17 is a roomy day-boat, which handles superbly both under sail or power. A central, internally mounted engine well can accept up to 6hp and gives great maneuverability and drive in all conditions. She is in our opinion “the perfect trailer-sailer.”

The spacious self draining cockpit of the Shrimper 17 can be immediately transformed into a light spacious cabin with two berths and abundant stowage, by raising the fold-down spray-hood.
