Cornish Crabber Pilot 30

Designed by Roger Dongray and built by Cornish Crabbers Ltd. since 1985, this distinctive gaff topsail cutter represents traditional British yacht design adapted for modern cruising. The Pilot 30's classic lines and substantial construction reflect the builder's reputation for creating seaworthy vessels inspired by traditional working boats of the Cornish coast. With her moderate displacement of 14,000 pounds and generous ballast ratio, this fiberglass yacht offers excellent stability and seakeeping abilities. The gaff topsail cutter rig provides versatile sail handling options, allowing crews to adjust sail plan efficiently in varying conditions. Her keel/centerboard configuration draws 5.25 feet, offering access to shallow harbors while maintaining good windward performance. The Pilot 30 excels at coastal cruising and short offshore passages, where her comfortable motion and traditional character truly shine. Her impressive comfort ratio of 36.39 indicates a stable, easy motion at sea, while the capsize screening formula of 1.58 suggests good stability characteristics for extended cruising. The spacious 9.48-foot beam provides comfortable accommodations below decks, making her well-suited for family cruising or extended voyaging where comfort and safety take precedence over speed.
