PBO technical editor David Harding tested the new Cornish Crabber 12 for the October 2012 issue of Practical Boat Owner. Buy the magazine from Thursday 13 September to read more about the dinghy that thinks it's a dayboat.
Yep, one gust and she's upside down. BTDT . Sailing along on a nice 10 mph breeze then suddenly a 25mph (windspeed indicator aboard) gust and we are swimming with the mast stuck in the muck. Takes two motorboats to get her upright.
Dinghys dont have ballasted centrebords. He is a very skilled sailor demonstrating how easy it is to right from a capsize. He was capsizing it deliberately.
One of 12 boats maybe, why do they insist on “review” videos with spiffy music but absolutely no information about the boat, handling, weather conditions, feel, I can watch other boats all day and probably learn more
