Broker's Comments

This lovely little yacht has been very well looked after by her present owner for many years. Both on deck and down below she is very clean and tidy. The outboard engine only has 20 hours on the log, the windows and sea cocks were all replaced in 2005, the running rigging replaced in 2007, the spray hood is almost new and the hull is freshly painted and antifouled so there is nothing to do but cast off and sail away. Once you are at sea you can relax with the brand new self steering system which alone is worth £1500! It would very hard to find a better value boat in this size range.

I used to own a Corribee until 2004 which I had sailed from the Netherlands into the Med in 2001. This time I would like to buy one that is already in the med as sailing a 21 foot boat through the Bay of Biscay was a gruelling experience I do not wish to repeat.

For Sale – ‘OpusToo’, Corribee mkII (Posted Oct 2021)

In June 2021 I bought my Corribee, which was called Opustoo. It is featured on this page . I bought as a reclaim from Thornham Marina, near Emsworth West Sussex. I spent in excess of £3500 in a 3 month period to resurrect her, this cost does not include the time spent during the refit. I now realise that the boat is too small for myself and 2 boys. An opportunity has arisen to buy a Westerly Centaur for an amazing price. This more suitable for us as a family. I am happy to reduce the cost of my Corribee to £2375 for a quick sale. Opustoo sat on the hard for about 3 years, deteriorating. Extensive work has gone into her, as the plan was to keep her for a few years, so no expenses were spared.

New running rigging, new seacocks, new 20w solar panel, battery, new depth gauge, compass, 1 main sail, Genoa, new cockpit drains and new hose. Vhf radio connection, but will need the actual radio, as the previous was registered to another boat, but kept going into an emergency mode. All of the wood work on deck was sanded down and varnish (6 coats) I am happy to do another coat of varnish for the new buyer at no extra cost, before or after the winter season.

Price – £2375

For Sale – Two MkII Fin-keel Corribees (posted August 2021)

My girlfriend and I have loved sailing Mashua since I bought her in Pin Mill in May 2014 and sailed her single-handed round to Poole. She is well equipped with a full set of main and as many as 5 foresails all in decent condition. A 7 hp Honda outboard also regularly serviced and running well is available by separate negotiation. Her electrics are powered by a 12V solar panel on the companionway hatch-cover. All interior cushions professionally renewed 2015; she was regularly raced on the Orwell and is a slippery boat but I’m no racer now. Her hull and decks are currently being professionally recoated.

I bought her right up in Lochgilphead in 2017. I had been looking for a trailer for Mashua with the idea of taking her back and forth to Blakeney in Norfolk rather faster than my first voyage down from Pin Mill in Mashua. I saw both boat and trailer plus launching trolley advertised, and thought I might have one in Norfolk and one in Dorset. So I towed Cara down to Dorset with a pal which was an adventure in itself (old tyres and two blowouts in the first 50 miles). Cara belonged to a retired RAF engineer who had spent a couple of years preparing her for long distance cruising off the west coast of Scotland.

He had completely stripped and recoated hull, decks and interior, renewed all the rigging and all the electrics, revarnished the brightwork etc etc. On the trailer he had stripped down and renewed both sets of wheel bearings and serviced the jockey wheel and legs, and serviced the launching trolley. But, sadly, just as he was finishing the job he was diagnosed with a medical condition which meant he couldn’t sail off shore. I can’t today guarantee the condition of the trailer because despite two new tyres that have only done one trip and a complete overhaul in 2017 it has spent the last 3 years being manhandled about the yard by staff who are, shall we say, sometimes a little careless.

My initial idea was to take Mashua up to Norfolk but first to Coppercoat Cara and leave her permanently afloat in Poole Harbour (which tests by Coppercoat suggests is possible) so I could sail her in the winter,

So I had her sandblasted and bought the Coppercoat ,but the chaps who’d said they’d do it were always too busy and I, despite my advanced age, found myself called on to work in the City rather more than I had anticipated and nothing happened for 3 years until Lockdown. The Coppercoat is also in Shell Bay if required.

So Cara also comes with good sails, an outboard with 12V alternator (by separate negotiation) and a brand new interior fitted to RAF standards and a new DSC VHF radio.

In my opinion either boat would very happily sail across the Atlantic with very little additional preparation- but perhaps stocking up on fresh water and provisions would be wise.

For Sale – Corribee main sail (posted August 2021)

Corribee main sail, fully batoned with 2 reefing points, bent on but no wear, kept as a back up, just a few dirty marks.dry stored. Number has been peeled off.

Price – £195 plus £15 postage UK

FOR SALE SOLD – mkII Newbridge Corribee, 21 ft, 1978 (posted Aug 2021, sold September 2021)

Mk2 Newbridge Corribee, 21ft, bilge keel, draught 2 ft 2 ins. Built 1978 (PAA 55434), hull number 7878. Currently ashore for viewing, on her road trailer, near Cheddar, Somerset

Carmina is a typical seaworthy, tough little Corribee – a great starter boat for day sailing or inshore cruising, or for single handed sailing. I have been sailing her lightly in the Bristol Channel (Portishead and Burnham on Sea) for the last eight years and have done quite a bit of work on her. Now sadly selling because I am fully committed crewing on larger yachts.

INTERNAL: Four berths in a single cabin. Two single berths forward and two single quarterberths aft. The interior is clean and tidy, with blue fitted cushions and cream headlining, with LED cabin lighting. The interior layout has been substantially modified, with a removable chart table over the galley on the port side, and small locker on the starboard side. There is a Thetford Porta Potty chemical toilet under the cushions between the forward bunks.

SPARS, RIGGING & SAILS: Sloop rigged with deck-stepped alloy mast and boom and stainless steel rigging. Both main and genoa are roller reefed – the main on a rotating boom, the genoa on a Plastimo roller reefer. There is a good set of sails – genoa, main, jib and storm job (all old but perfectly serviceable), with a nice red/white cruising chute (almost new). The running rigging is simple – main, genoa and spinnaker halyards and topping lift only. Sheets in good condition, and a good set of warps.

HULL: The hull is blue, with a few scratches, and some minor osmosis on the port bow panel, but this has never given me any problems. There are some old fibreglass repairs around the running strake (before my time), but she is sound and dry throughout.

ENGINE: Mariner Sailmate 8HP 2-stroke long-shaft outboard (1998, Ser No 09989640. This engine is designed specifically for yachts. It’s in good condition, recently serviced and a sweet runner – very reliable. This is a powerful engine for a boat of this size, but will give her 5+ knots – useful in the Bristol Channel tides. It has a 3KW rectifier battery charger, which is OK for top-up but won’t charge a flat battery. There is a large (20L) removable fuel tank in the lazaret, which should give you around 6 hours motoring.

There is a good set of ancillaries: Clipper Duet combined Log and Echo Sounder, with cockpit read-out Handheld/clip-on compass Cobra Marine MRHH 325 handheld/clip-on VHF radio Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet, loaded with Navionics + UK & Ireland navigation app Charging socket for tablet/phone Gas alarm Raymarine ST 1000+ Tiller Autohelm (works OK in a gentle sea, but can’t cope with rough weather) All new electric wiring

For sale – 1970 MKII Corribee ‘Blue Siren’ – (Posted July 2021)

This is a project boat as can be seen from the photos, but is basically a very sound vessel with no osmosis or issues with the mast compression beam etc. Bought as a project about 2 years ago, including a mooring on the River Exe, as her previous owner had been unable to use her for a couple of years. I have done some of the work required (refinishing of some of the exterior wood, replacing two of the three windows, rubbing down the paintwork and wood, valeting the sails) as well as getting her safely off the Exe and buying a very good road trailer (heavy galvanised construction with no rust, twin braked 1000kg axles with four new tyres and a new tow hitch and new wood bed for the keels to stand on). However, my time and energy levels are low as there is lots going on so she needs a new home. Jobs left include repainting, tidying the interior, rewiring, reattaching the outboard bracket and fitting the engine. I bought a very nice Suzuki long shaft four stroke 4HP engine from a local dealer to power her, which is about 12 years old but has literally not been used – just serviced annually by the previous owner and not used since I had it serviced and brought it home last year. I also have remote control cables and a throttle/gear lever for the cockpit plus the remote fittings for the engine, and a 12 litre remote tank, all ready to be fitted. The sails are in good order and quite new (still ‘crisp’, though the UV strip on the genoa is a bit worn) and there are fenders and an anchor and some warps, all the interior cushions etc. so it’s all there and just needs someone with the time and energy to finish her off. I’m asking £1,700 for the boat, trailer and engine as a complete package, but would split so long as Blue Siren goes to a new home. If you are interested in the mooring I am also happy to sell as an extra ‘add on’. It is located just a few hundred metres off the Exe Sailing Club in area 2 of the Lower Exe Mooring Authority, and you can get on and off in Blue Siren two hours either side of high water. I renewed the ground tackle in March 2020 just prior to lockdown mark 1. Contact: [email protected]

Wanted – Bilge Keel Corribee (Posted June 2021)

Hello everyone, We are a couple from Portugal and inspired by Roger Taylor and some other simple sailors we dream of a bilge keel Corribee to start some adventures together. We’ve been looking for a long time and it just seems impossible to find one in Europe… We are unfortunately on a limited budget so we would agree to negotiate a corribee even if it is in very poor condition. We are willing and we now have the knowledge, time and space to restore.

The ideal would be Portugal, Espana or France and we would be available to bring it by road if it is in bad condition.

If you know someone who knows someone, we would be very grateful.

I have a 1978 bilge keel Corribee that has been sat in my garage in Newcastle upon Tyne for several years and Iâ€™ve not had time to finish the work to get her back on the water. I have never sailed the boat but i believe she started life in Itchenor (original name was “Itch”) and then was sailed on Ullswater in the 80s. She is sat on a trailer which isn’t at all road worthy and was delivered to me piggy backed onto another trailer. Inventory: Mast, Boom, Main sail, Jib, Storm jib and spinnaker Vire 7 engine still in situ and is a runner, although the original metal fuel tank is gone. Cabin headlining and cushions are good. Rubbing strakes and coach roof handles were rotten and have been removed The companion way door and housing has been removed as it was rotten, but i have a newly cut surround ready to be fitted.

She’s a lovely boat in need of with a bit of TLC. (The photos are all oldish pics because I would need to clear my garage to get some decent new photos). To be fair she is in no worse condition now than she was in 2012. Price – £750 ONO Contact – Robert at (contact details redacted – Ed)

For Sale Sold – Bilge Keel Corribee (Posted June 2019, sold July 2019)

Traditional cruiser designed by Robert Tucker, (age unknown but probably 1970’s). Owned since 2004, ‘Kyra’ and has been moored in Abersoch harbour for a number of seasons and taken out for storage at home over the winter months. We have used her as a day boat and consequently she is fitted out with the minimum of equipment.

Below deck: The accommodation is four berths in a single cabin, two single berths forward and two single berths aft, partly beneath the cockpit seats. They all have cushion seating. There are two lockers, both of which have top surfaces. The windows and cabin hatches have been repaired or renewed. There are also a couple of shelves aft under the cockpit seats. She has a battery and garmin depth gauge, but the navigation lights need rewiring.

Topside: Deck stepped alloy mast and boom. In 2017, the rubbing strip, grab handles and cabin hatch were repaired or replaced and the windows renewed. The genoa tracks and mainsheet traveller block and track were also renewed, as were the halyards etc. The stainless steel push and pulpits were renovated and the guard wire replaced. A new roller stemhead was fitted and an aluminium outboard motor bracket was added to the stern. She also has an AH800 tiller pilot although we have never used it.

Sails: Roller reefing mainsail and plastimo roller reefing genoa. All halyards were renewed 2017 along with some bottle screws to the rigging.

Additional equipment: CQR plough anchor and kedge anchor, 4 fenders, horseshoe lifebuoy, McMurdo lifebuoy light, buoyancy aid, boat hook.

Outboard Engine: Evinrude 4hp long shaft two stroke with external fuel tank

Trailer: New 2016. A purpose built single axle trailer from SBS Trailers complete with flush kit and spare wheel with tyre, and a trailer lock. Also lighting board and straps for securing boat to trailer.

Summary: Overall she is in fair condition but some maintenance may be required. A couple of sail battens have broken and will need replacing. The navigation lights need rewiring. I have not renewed the rigging since I bought her and there is some paint blistering on the hull.

Location: Oswestry, Shropshire, UK.

For Sale SOLD – 1973 Corribee MkII with trailer (Posted Dec 2018, Sold May 2019) For sale is my 1973 Corribee, with her dedicated trailer. She is currently (nov 2018) in commission in Fenit, Co Kerry, Ireland. Great little boat to handle and have fun with, even in winter in the North Atlantic. She is also a bilge keeler and draws two to three feet, ideal to explore the shallow bays and safe; if you run aground you can walk out of the boat 🙂 Anneli J is an old boat, fixed to “agricultural standard” that is, she is in working order but not very pretty. The hull was painted and antifouled this summer. Any buyer would want to spend some time varnishing and tidying up to get some praise at the marina. I am selling because I want to upgrade to a larger boat to accommodate the family. Details: Engine: two cycle 8 hp outboard, serviced this summer. With alternator to charge the battery Sails: in good condition, inspected and some stitching done this summer. I was advised that the sails are good. Slab reefing. Standing Rigging: Unknown year, but in good condition, Mast in a tabernacle, easy to drop by two people or a well organised one. Running rigging: Mixture of old and new, it’s been replaced as needed Galley: a simple camping hob, new. After I bought it I realised that I don’t want gas on the boat. Cushions: Old but not broken. Electrics: nav lights, power to the tiller steering and instruments in working order. Anchor light is new but needs connecting (New cable fitted through mast) Instruments: depth sounder and compass. Anchor, 25m of chain, 1/2 dozen mix fenders and the usual things that accumulate on a boat like shackles, lines, etc Trailer: SBS 1500kg – bought new last February (cost= £2200). the trailer will not be sold separately. the year is approximate – sail number 375 Please note, the boat is in Ireland, so transport will be a bummer. But the trailer is in top condition since it’s new. ( 3500 euro, ONO for corribee fans Reduced to €2000 ) SOLD (Contact details redacted) Here she is in Tralee bay. https://youtu.be/bbBa7YDHrOM

For Sale SOLD – Corribee Mk 2 fin keel boat (Posted Oct 2018)

I only bought this lovely little Corribee last year, but have had a chance to upgrade, so am looking to pass the Corribee on to a new home. She is in good condition for her age (built in the 70s) and the hull was re-painted by the previous owner, plus non-slip deck matting applied. She comes with an almost new main sail, plus a good condition furling headsail. All rigging is in excellent condition.

The cabin interior is a bit of a blank canvas ie not fitted out, except for a small chart table and one fitted cupboard. She does have a full complement of nearly new covered cushions. She does have a Depth finder and Compass fitted, but the electrical system needs to be re-wired – very simple. Harriet comes complete with a road trailer, which is robust but only in average condition. It is safe for the road, brakes work etc. Currently on a swinging mooring on Rutland Water, but soon to be brought off the water on to her trailer. More photos available on request.

For Sale SOLD – Corribee Mk 2, sail no 343, built 1978, bilge keel (posted Sept 2018, Sold Nov 2018)

‘Bluebird’ is in good sound condition, but needs some tlc, e.g. some interior upholstery/headlining is a little tatty and a short length of rubbing strake needs replacing.

The present owners bought her in 2003 and have enjoyed sailing her in the Plymouth Sound area regularly every season since then. Sadly, the arrival of grandchildren and restricted time mean that we have to sell her. Bluebird is at present berthed on a pontoon at Millbay Village Marina, and it takes literally 2 minutes to reach Plymouth Sound. This pontoon would be available for the purchaser if required, after discussion with the landlord. She comes with: Excellent 5hp Mercury outboard – purchased new in 2013 and fully serviced annually ( or she can be bought for £650 without the outboard) A full set of sails, main, furling jib, spinnaker (and boom) Usual equipment, fenders, mooring lines, spare ropes, anchors, boathook, cockpit grating, lifebelt Gas cooker, lights and electrical equipment ,depth sounder, log etc (although as we have used her mainly for day sailing the latter have not been used for a while.)

Please contact me for further details.

For Sale – Junk rig Corribee, Trivial Pursuit (posted Sep 2018)

I am selling our UK built Corribee Trailer Sailor in Junk Rig form with bilge keels. Currently located in Kefalonia, Greece. We stay at Argostoli Camping in summer for €1400 (inc bills) with our caravan. I want another one, but likely a catamaran in the future. The downside is, there are hardly any about with this rig. For summer I leave it in the water in the marina which is free like most of Kefalonia. Only two places charge I believe. The boat was towed over by me 2 years ago, registered recently on the UK SRR (I believe it’s £25 to change names), antifouled, engine flushed and it’s been taking me around the island to date. I checked with the port authority before sailing and all they wanted for a UK registered boat was insurance. £93 annually to note for my first year’s insurance. I just added the SRR as I was advised by another UK sailor. It’s in great condition and ready for its next owner. It has a hinged mast, so you can drop it down for towing/maintenance easily. Solar panel which is plenty as it only has navigation lights, depth sounder and internal led white light. The price includes a great condition trailer and Suzuki 6hp motor with low hours. Price: £4000. I may take interesting part exchanges to note. Laptops/motorcycles or what have you? Contact: – Andrew 0753 204 3141 [email protected]

Wanted – Corribee MkII or III (posted July 2018)

Hello, Looking for a Corribee mk II or mk III. Here’s a list of the things I’m looking for :

1. Fairly ready to sail. I don’t mind if it needs cleaning, painting, new headlining etc. (rewiring ok too). If it needs glassing and renovation then, sorry no! The hull, keel, rudder and mast must be in sound structural condition. The rigging should also be OK.

2. Need not have an outboard but good if it does.

3. Better with a trailer

4. Located (or parked up) on the west coast of uk.

5. Bilge keels would be better.

Do you – or someone you know – have a boat that you think is ok, then I would be happy to hear from you.

For Sale SOLD – MK3 Corribee, bilge keel (Posted June 2018 sold Nov 2018)

Mk3 Corribee for sale, currently sitting on mooring in Emsworth, ready to sail away today.

The boat has all new standing and running rigging (replaced 2017) New LED navigation lights and fuse panel. All the wooden grab handles on deck have been replaced with custom made handles made in Iroko. Brand new hand operated bilge pump. 12v Battery The deck is in original gelcoat and the topsides are painted in dark green Toplac.

The main is used but in good condition – no repairs. It has two rigged reefing points in the main. The roller reefing genoa is usable but tatty and could do with replacing but boat will happily sail with it as is. Comes with spinnaker pole but no spinnaker.

The sale includes plough anchor and warp, horseshoe lifebouy on stern bracket and new Nasa target depth sounder.

This boat is an unfinished project and it needs some jobs doing. None of these are urgent and she can be happily sailed as is:

The paint on the topsides is peeling and needs re-coating. I have enough paint available to give the boat a new topcoat. The cabin has had the headlining and foam fluff removed, which needs replacing. All the original seat cushions come with the boat but they are in bare foam and need recovering. The front window is intact but the glass is crazed and needs replacing at some point. The boat was on a swing mooring over the winter, and whilst it is heavily anti-fouled it needs beaching for a scrub.

Not shown in the interior photo are all of the wooden covers for the under berth storage areas which are included and have been recently re-varnished.

Additional:

The boat is available with two separate outboard motors which are not included in the sale price:

A two stroke Seagull Silver Century Longshaft – 5hp (£150) or Honda BF5a 4-stroke outboard (£450)

The half tide mooring on which the boat is currently moored is also available at a much reduced rate for the rest of the 2018 – 2019 season.

Price £650 Email redacted – Ed

Wanted Found – Coromandel or similar (Posted Oct 2017 Found Nov 2017)

I’m in the market for a junk-rigged sailboat, and the Coromandel is at the top of my list of candidates! Here’s a list of the things I’m looking for 🙂 :

*More or less ready to sail. I don’t mind if it needs cleaning, painting, a new toilet, a new radio or even a complete rewiring, but if it needs full-on structural renovation then I’m less keen! To put it another way, I’m not so interested in fancy gadgets, perfect paint jobs etc., but the hull, keel, rudder and mast must be in sound structural condition. The rigging should also be OK.

*It needn’t have an engine (though that is nice, of course), but if not, it must be possible to propel it with oars or yuloh.

*Located on or near the coast of Europe (including the British Isles, of course), north of Brittany.

*Bilge keels would certainly be a plus, but other hull forms will be considered 🙂

Depending on where the boat is currently located, it is most likely that I would put it in a nearby marina (or even keep it where it is if possible), do whatever small tasks are required, then sail it away during the summer.

If you – or someone you know – might be willing to sell a boat (of any class) that you think fits the bill, then I would be happy to hear from you

How does one delete a comment or advert. I think a lot of contributers would like to know as some of the items on display are way out of date ? Ken Dalton

You can email [email protected] however we generally prefer to leave adverts and comments in place and mark them as ‘sold’ so people can see the various Corribees that have been offered for sale over time.

Just to add that I have added the dates to as many adverts as possible so you can now see when they were submitted (or sold). I am still chasing a few advertisers to check their status, and hopefully soon you will be able to see which adverts are current.

HI Has anyone got a companion way hatch for sale ,no matter what condition.many thanks alan.

Thank for the comment Doug Ken

I am sure you would have no difficulty pulling a Corribee with you 1800 Rover provided she is securely strapped down on her 2 wheel trailer. Much easier than a caravan! Douglas Meikle

I have had Peregrine since 1977 and have decided to keep her for another year at least! Seems to suit me!

Will a Rover 1800 automatic pull a Coribee Ken D

One of my Barton 3″ winches (the type with the built in handle) has developed a split in the black that wraps round the handle- it still works but the job sheet tends to get caught

does anyone know where I can get either winch parts (unlikely) or a complete winch?

Looking for : –

Coribee with bilge keels, Inboard deisel Sea toilet Road trailer In reasonable condition, dont mind a bit of muck, for around, £ 2,500

Im looking for a Coromandel in any condition as I want to convert for some long passag making, a trailor would be a bonus, fin or bilge considered.

A final thank you…. Thanks to everyone for their comments and assistance during my search for a yacht. I was seeking to purchase either a Corribee or a Hurley and I’ve found Hurley 22. To be honest it could have gone either way and my son is now determined to find a Corribee to demonstrate his ability to beat on during next years passages. Very best wishes to you all. Craig

We have a fin keel mark 2 on a road trailer for sale. The boat is sound and the underwater area has been sanded and primed ready for antifouling. There are one or two cosmetic jobs that need doing and there is no outboard. The sails are sound, There is a furling genoa and a spinnaker in addition to the main. There are a couple of spare sails condition unknown. We are looking for around £2000 for boat and trailer. The boat is lying ashore in Invergordon.

Dave Bilsland

Hi Dave, As you may have noted from my earlier posts I’m Corribee ignorant! However, I’m looking for a boat and I’m tempted. Have you any photos to share of your boat? I’m in Perthshire but unlikely to have an opportunity to view imminently and equally would not wish to waste your time. Photos would be helpful in the first instant. ([email protected]). Thanks. Craig

I’m after a fin-keeler. Preferably with no sea-toilet or inboard engine. I’d want some photos before I travel up to look

Hello again. My search continues but I need a little advice.

I have a flat bed trailer with 1800kg capacity which is 3.2 meters from mid point of the single axle to the ball hitch. Can anyone provide peace of mind that a Corribee 21 mk 2 (bilge) would settle on it. By my estimations the distance from the boats mid point will obviously be c10.5ft to the bow but what I’m not sure of is where the point of balance is on a bilge keel and whether that distance to the bow is different. I’m simply trying to determine that the boat will not be too far forward and make contact with the towing vehicle. I may have answered this for myself but need to be sure so any words of reassurance will be appreciated.

Also, can anyone confirm the actual weight of the bilge keel boat – I estimate 1350kg.

Thanks again for all you help.

PLEASE HELP

Hello. I’m really impressed with this website, the detail on it and the open and honest dialogue; it make me more determined to find a Corribee of my own.

So, I’m looking for a Fin or Bilge Keel but it has to be on a road trailer in order to travel north to Perthshire. I have a budget of c£2750 give of take but for the full amount I need to be confident the she will rig up and sail away.

I am looking for something before the winter sets in so I can tinker and offer some tlc at home, but nothing to arduous before next season.

I have a preference for a boat with 4 berths and well equiped albeit I know there isn’t too much room below. I need to be able to squeeze the children in for one-nighters.

Having been looking for a Hurley 22, I’m increasingly swayed towards the Corribee which should please everyone on here.

So please help my quest. I’ve just sold my existing boat and expect the funds to be available mid Nov (deposit received) so I’m after something before the year end.

Looking forward to receiving some feedback and ideas. Meanwhile, I’ll be contacting some of the above to see what’s still available on the list above.

Thanks, Craig

Many thanks for the many enquiries but Corribee ‘Lily Ella’ is now sold. Paul Curtis

very good website! Am interested in a bilge keel corribee but never had a sail in one. Currently in a Swift 18, bit of a handful for a solo codger in a north easter.

Any body looking for crew towards the end of October I would like some corribee experience. Have money to buy the right boat but would need road trailer

Hello Nick,

I have photos of Peregrine and her trailer ready to send to you but I do not think I can attach them to this reply. I could send them to your email perhaps. Douglas.

please let me know if this boat is available or how to arrange visit

Yes Peregrine is still available. Please say who you are and if or when you would like to visit. Douglas

Hello Nick, Its a SBS trailer and seems sound. Original tyres have been replaced as the walls perished, although little used. I trail the 20 miles to the mooring and back home twice each year. The boat is lifted off and then back on the trailer by crane and slings so the trailer does not meet the salt water and wheel bearings are fine as far as I know. There is some rust but the 4 supports and keel platform are OK. The brakes were serviced a while back and the rusted pull rods replaced.In my opinion you should be able to tow the trailer to the East coast without difficulty. I will send this reply and then try and send photos of Peregrine and trailer. Perhaps your email would be best. Regards, Douglas

Corribee “JEZEBEL” is SOLD.

I am looking for a Corribee reasonable condition would be good really needs to have a road trailer as we live a long way from the sea, if anyone has anything suitable please contact me.

Also does anyone sail on any lakes or lochs with their boat we are just learning and not sure if we should put to sea just yet.

I have a Corribee mark 2 which I am looking to sell. She is moored in Weymouth Harbour on a Weymouth sailing club mooring at the moment. There is a trailer as she comes home each winter. The hull was sandblasted last winter removing years of antifoul remnants and there are two new foresails`;Jib and Genoa and a reasonable mainsail. I have owned and sailed her since 1977. She is in good condition and there is a Mercury outboard with a clutch and an Avon dinghy. If you are still searching please get in touch and I can send you Photos.

Hello Douglas:

re your corribee: is it fin or bilge keel please? Nick

She has a fin keel. Douglas

Wooden Ships Comments on this Junk rig Loch Fyne skiff

Built by the current owner and launched in 2005 after a 3 year build, her lines are that of a Loch Fyne skiff and were taken from an article in The Boatman magazine about the original Loch Fyne skiffs and the work they did. She has spent a couple of years with a different owner who sadly passed away so the boat has been bought back by the original owner to ensure she is not abandoned.

With this inspiration the owner built a very tough and capable boat, conventionally planked with huge sawn frames. He opted for a junk rig, designed by the Norwegian Victor Winterthun, well known for his expertise on this type of rig. The result is a very fast, powerful and extremely unusual boat.

Her decks are wide and clutter free and the rig makes her easy to handle. She has been cruised and raced extensively around the Baltic coasts of Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Poland, proving herself as a fast and capable yacht. The interior is currently in a semi state of repair as the current owner removed most of what was there, re-designed it for an open plan layout and was half way through replacing it. Sadly the owner has passed away and the boat must be sold as she is.

The previous owner who designed and built the boat works very close to her current location and will be able to assist a new owner in preparing the boat for the season and giving them some support and answering any questions that may arise.

Broker's Comments

This boat certainly has the wow factor. She has had a professional paint job and looks a million dollars. The project has not been completed as the owner had decided to change her sloop rig to a junk rig, which is yet to be commissioned and she has new sails ready to go. The interior will need refitting throughout although there is a new fridge and washing machine still in the boxes, waiting to be installed. Unfortunately the owner has passed away so this wonderful boat needs a new owner to complete the project. The sloop rig mast is still available if one would prefer to change her back to her original rig. For blue water cruising or a liveaboard this boat is well worth considering at a fraction of the price and the choice of fitting her out is down to you. This vessel has had in excess of £200,000 spent on her to date and therefore offers a grand opportunity for any potential purchaser, however it is going to take at least a further £50,000 to re-commission the boat to a reasonable standard.

These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Hi Keith, I'm interested in the boat but unsure of its availability, as it's been under offer for almost a month. Could you confirm if it's still available for viewing or has been sold? Thanks for your prompt response. Kind regards, Walter

Hi, Can you please provide details on the water, fuel and battery capacities? Kind regards, Mike

Winning ways with a junk rig

David Harding
November 16, 2023

David Harding looks at some of the latest developments in junk rig and meets the owners of different types of boat who are all convinced of its merits

Junk rigs are an attractive options due to their inherent simplicity and ease of handling. Credit: David Harding Credit: David Harding

Much has been happening in the world of the junk rig since PBO last took a close look at it.

Junk-rig enthusiasts are an innovative bunch and some of them never stop experimenting with ways to make their favourite rig simpler, faster or more efficient.

They love this particular sail boat rig for all sorts of reasons. It’s simple to sail with and can be controlled entirely from the cockpit.

Let the sheet go, and the sail swings out without flogging. Sheet in to go again. Drop the halyard and the whole lot comes down in a trice.

Need to reef ? Lower the halyard to reduce a panel – or two. Time to tack? Put the helm down.

The junk rig is unstayed so there are fewer stress points

Because the rig is unstayed , there’s no standing rigging to worry about: no bottlescrews, terminals, chainplates or lengths of wire.

That means fewer stress points and less chafing.

The yard and the multiple full-length battens mean that the panels in the sail are lightly loaded so there’s no need for high-tech, low-stretch fabrics.

Long-distance cruisers like the rig because of the low stresses and ease of repair.

Performance is good downwind because you can let the sail out to 90° so its entire area is projected to the wind: you don’t have to fly a spinnaker or even pole out the headsail and you can sail at any angle you choose.

Gybing is a much gentler and safer operation too.

With all these points in its favour it’s easy to understand the junk’s popularity.

Traditionally there has been just one big problem: going to windward.

Junk sails have mostly been flat, and flat sails don’t generate much lift.

Even worse, they start to get fuller at precisely the wrong time, as the wind picks up and the battens start to bend.

Little wonder, then, that few sailors serious about performance have had any time for the junk rig.

However, a great deal of development work has gone on over the past 15 years or so.

Continues below…

Freestanding masts: Why more cruisers should go wireless

You see a yacht with a mast, or masts held up with no rigging and think: ‘What’s going on? Why…

There are junk-rigged boats out there now that can give Bermudan-rigged equivalents a run for their money upwind and leave them for dead off the wind – assuming the Bermudan rig doesn’t fly a spinnaker .

The reason they have rarely made the headlines is that people are generally attracted to the junk rig because of its inherent simplicity and ease of handling, so the rigs tend to be found on comfortable cruising boats rather than those designed for speed.

With any sort of development, different people pursue different approaches and one great thing about junks is that there’s room for an incredibly diverse range of views.

While some are experimenting with wishbones and soft wing-sails, others are happy to stick to the tried and tested and to create their own rigs out of sticks and string – almost literally.

What they have in common, however, is an unshakeable belief in the concept of the junk rig.

They’re happy to share ideas between themselves and, just as importantly, with the yet-to-be converted.

To see where the junk rig is heading, I sought a range of views and approaches on an assortment of boats owned by people with varying budgets and ambitions.

I made the junk rig myself for less than £200 using a builder’s tarpaulin

This Bolger Micro epitomises the budget boat: just 4.6m (15ft) long and built of plywood, she sports a rig that the owner made himself for less than £200.

Like many designs by the American Phil Bolger, the Micro was conceived for simplicity of construction and is unlikely to be seen at the front of a racing fleet.

Nonetheless, as I found when watching her sail among a fleet of other junk-riggers, which included such known performers as the Varne 27 and Etap 26, she’s impressively slippery given her diminutive size.

Applecross is owned by Martin Roberts and originally carried the cat yawl rig with sprit booms for which she was designed.

The trouble, explained Martin, was the length of the main boom: trying to manage a piece of wood 4.3m (14ft) long when trying to reef was awkward to say the least. ‘It was all a bit unwieldy in my view.’

After reading Practical Junk Rig by Blondie Hasler and Jock McLeod, Martin decided that a conversion was in order.

Calculating that the new rig would be about 1.5m (5ft) shorter than the original, he started by buying a second-hand solid wooden mast for £40.

Battening timber appropriately made the battens, which were stiffened after some experimentation by some sections of bamboo to remove the S-bending.

Martin Roberts finds that Applecross will mizzen and a tiller-line. Singlehanding is often sail herself with the help of the easy; a crew is an optional extra. Credit: David Harding

The sail itself was a £15 builder’s tarpaulin. Martin did the necessary stitching on a sewing machine at home and secured the sail to the battens with cable ties.

His biggest expense apart from the mast was the blocks, from Classic Marine, which cost £40.

Martin has simplified the Hasler/ McLeod rig by removing some of the control lines.

He accepts that some efficiency might be lost but reckons that, for his sailing on the East Coast rivers, working the tides is far more important.

He has kept the original mizzen . It works as a trim tab to balance the boat, which will happily sail herself for lengthy periods with a little help from a line around the tiller.

His only concern about the mizzen is the vulnerability of the bumkin to being knocked by other boats.

With the new rig, Martin finds Applecross much easier to handle.

Originally, if it looked as though reefing might be called for, he would either reef before setting out or decide not to go.

Now he will go out – and reef under way if need be.

He reckons that any loss in performance is minimal and is more than offset by his ability to carry the right amount of sail for the conditions.

I bought the original rig second-hand from Germany

John Dinnin’s love affair with the Liberty started when he owned a Montagu whaler – a boat to which he had been introduced during his time in the Navy and which provided the inspiration for David Thomas when he designed the Liberty for Hunter Boats.

‘I was on the way out of Faversham in the Whaler when I passed a Liberty going the other way,’ said John. ‘My words at the time were, ‘When I grow up, I want to be like you.’

When the old Whaler started leaking and calling for more maintenance, John decided it was time to move on and buy the boat he had been longing for.

He found a Liberty called Alouette and got on well with her in every respect until the masts broke – first the mizzen and then the main mast.

John Dinnin’s Hunter Liberty, Alouette , has twin masts and new cambered-panel sails

Liking Alouette but wanting a rig that would give him no concerns, John found himself in a quandary: did he sell her and buy something else, or re-rig her as a Minstrel (the same hull with a gunter rig)?

His mind was made up after he met Hans Schaeuble, a junk-rig enthusiast from Germany who has travelled far and wide in his own Liberty: junk was the solution.

The problem was that conversion would cost around £7,000 if he had a new professionally-built rig.

That was the same as he paid for the boat.

John’s meeting with Hans resulted in more than just a decision to convert to junk.

Alouette’ s owner John Dinnin

Hans had sold his first Liberty, with both its original cat rig and the twin-masted junk designed by Sunbird Marine, to a new owner in eastern Germany.

The new owner had re-fitted the original rig, so John got in touch with Hans who negotiated the re-sale of the junk rig, with its flat but distinctively coloured sails, for a very reasonable price.

That was in 2006, and since the sails were ‘getting a bit holey’, John decided to replace them with new cambered-panel sails made by Sails and Canvas in Topsham.

Like jointed battens, cambered panels increase the efficiency of the junk rig by putting some shape into the sails.

The battens are rigid but each panel is cut with some fullness in it.

The pros and cons of each approach have been widely debated in junk circles.

John finds that the new sails provide appreciably more drive than the originals and is delighted with the junk rig.

‘I wouldn’t dream of setting out in a Force 6 with the original Liberty,’ he told me. ‘It’s much more forgiving like this and shortening sail is so much easier.’

We have ways to get the best from a flat sail

One of the more performance-orientated boats to sport a junk rig, Taimen was bought new by her French owner and sailed with her original rig before being converted in 1998 by the late Robin Blain, who ran Sunbird Marine, designing and fitting junk rigs as well as acting as secretary of the Junk Rig Association.

Philip Corridan and Martin Lloyd knew the boat from when she had sailed across the channel to take part in a JRA rally, and didn’t hesitate when they heard she was for sale.

Philip has a long-standing association with junk rigs and had already converted an Iroquois catamaran, which he sailed around the world with her original rig in 1991-1993.

The Iroquois, with a mast in each hull and a recently-added mizzen, is based in Greece, while the Etap remains in the UK.

Martin too had junk experience before the Etap, having owned a Kingfisher 22.

The Etap 26 Taimen was given a conventional junk-rig conversion in 1998. Credit: David Harding

He wanted something bigger and reckoned that a fast hull with a junk rig should be a good combination.

Philip and Martin accept that the rig, with its conventional flat sail and flexible battens (in GRP tube of a section selected by computer program) is less efficient than the later jointed-batten or cambered- panel types, but they have found ways of overcoming its limitations to a certain extent.

They bring the traveller fully to windward in light airs to induce camber and twist into the sail.

As the sail becomes fuller in a freshening wind they drop the traveller down.

Offwind in fresh conditions they slide the sail forward over the mast – a technique regularly employed in junk-rig circles – to move the centre of pressure forward and inboard; otherwise the bend in the battens and increased fullness encourages the boat to round up.

Were they starting from scratch, neither Philip nor Martin would have the rig that’s fitted to Taimen , but they’re both experienced sailors who know how to get the best out of what they have.

One thing they have found to make an enormous difference, below the waterline this time, is their feathering Maxprop, which has added a good knot to the boat’s speed under sail.

After years with a junk rig I would never go back to Bermudan

An engineer with sailing experience in a wide range of boats, from the Tornado catamaran and Flying Dutchman to barges and fishing smacks, Bob had always wanted a Hunter Liberty.

He sailed Liberty for seven years with the yacht’s original unstayed cat-ketch rig.

Then he met the late Robin Blain of the Junk Rig Association, read Annie Hill’s book Voyaging on a Small Income , and the die was cast. ‘After we had started talking about junk rigs, that was it – I just did it.’

Bob decided to make his own rig but adopted a relatively high-tech approach.

He enlisted the help of Philip Corridan (see above), a structural engineer, builder of his own junk rigs, to calculate the section needed for the mast (he opted to have one rather than two).

A man sailing a junk rig yacht with a red sail and blue hull

Orlando , a Hunter Liberty with a single, jointed-batten sail. Credit: David Harding

He found two sections of aluminium tube of the right diameter and, with the help of some machining and a two-ton winch, joined them together.

Keen to avoid the performance compromises associated with a traditional flat junk sail, Bob also decided to make his own jointed battens.

Unlike conventional battens, these are tubular with joints (usually two) along their length that allow them to curve to a shape determined by the angle of the joints.

On Orlando , the jointed battens help induce camber into the sail…..

The joints were machined from Delrin plastic, each having a shoulder in the middle and a cone at each end with angles of 4° for the forward joint (giving a total of 8°) and 3° aft (a total of 6°).

Flexible, non-jointed ‘keep’ battens support the sail on the other side.

Bob bought the cloth for the sail, laid it out in the local village hall, marked and cut it and took it to his local sailmaker with instructions about how it should be joined together.

….while flexible battens on the other side provide support and smooth out the curve. Credit: David Harding

The total cost for the mast and sail came to around £1,000.

Three seasons on, Bob is delighted with the new rig. ‘It’s so forgiving and so interesting,’ he says. ‘I would never go back to Bermudan.’

He does, however, have reservations about the term ‘junk rig’.

He maintains that, strictly speaking, it should be called a fully-battened lug rig and that the junk is the type of boat to which it was originally fitted.

The pros and cons of junk rig

Generally thought to be the preserve of cranks, junk rig has some great qualities, and should not be overlooked

Junk rig is thought to date back to about 300AD, when it propelled Chinese craft with sails of woven bamboo fortified by battens of bamboo or pine. It has been in use in China ever since, although it has also been appreciated by yachtsmen over the years, not least Joshua Slocum, who chose a three-masted junk rig for his 35ft (11m) ‘canoe’ Liberdade, in which he sailed 5,500 miles in 1888. Slocum considered it “the most convenient boat rig in the entire world”. The real champion in the western world, however, was Blondie Hasler, who commissioned the heavily-modified, junk-rigged Nordic Folkboat Jester in 1953 and sailed her in the first OSTAR in 1960. Other notable junk rig sailors have included Bill King (Galway Blazer) and the ascetic Roger Taylor, who sails his junk-rigged Corribee Mingming to extreme northern latitudes. It’s also known as ‘Chinese lug rig’ and generally thought to be the preserve of cranks. It is, in fact, a singular rig with great qualities, particularly to the short-handed cruising sailor, and is overlooked only by the ignorant. The ‘bible’ on the subject is Practical Junk Rig by HG Hasler and JK McLeod.

1 Very easy raising, lowering and reefing

2 Soft gybing due to the sail area before the mast

3 No flogging as the sail is rigid

4 No standing rigging, meaning no whistling in the shrouds, and greater simplicity

5 Great all-round visibility

6 Good ability off the wind or before it without need of extra downwind sails

1 More expensive and complex to build/retrofit

2 Not great to windward in light airs

3 To some, the unusual appearance
