Cornish Pilot Cutter 30 used

The Cornish Crabbers Pilot Cutter is the flag ship model, that has been in production since the mid 1980's. Her beautiful and classic lines, along with her well mannered performance, makes this boat a fantastic modern classic. 'Echo' has been in the same ownership since 2004 and is presented in excellent condition. This is a beautiful boat that is a testament to the owners and the time, effort and expense they have put into her.  Notable features include 24V bow thruster, professional Coppercoat in 2021 plus hull/deck/lockers/rubbing strake/gunwhale repainted or recoated where necessary professionally in 2023.  Viewing by appointment at our Suffolk Office (IP10 0LN) - 01473 659681
