Wooden Ships Comments on this Gorran Haven Crabber
Gorran Haven Crabber built by Dick Pill of Gorran Haven in 1921. There are very few of these original Gorran Haven crabbers left, they were designed to fish off the beach and kept inside the small harbour of Gorran Haven on the south coast of Cornwall.
The hull shape is very pronounced with generous beam and very full bilges in the midships which give the hull good volume and makes the boat very stable.
Rebuilt by local shipwright Gordon Couch approximately 20 years ago, this work included hull repairs and re-fastening, new thwarts and gunwhales plus a new Beta Marine 20 hp engine.
The boat comes with a heavy duty yard trailer that was used to transport her from her home in the village down to the beach and back each year. It is not a road legal trailer but is a substantial galvanised frame with pneumatic tyres and wheel bearings. The trailer can be purchased with the boat for an extra £1,000 on top of the asking price.
This is a spacious, safe and solid boat, perfect for family adventures or laying a few crab pots.
