Cornish Shrimper 19 cockpit

The Cornish Shrimper 19 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of hand-laid, solid fiberglass, with wood trim and wooden spars. It has a gaff rig sloop with a wooden bowsprit, a plumb stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a stub keel with a centreboard. It displaces 2,348 lb (1,065 kg).[1][4]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat is normally fitted with a well-mounted outboard motor, or optionally with a Japanese Yanmar 1GM diesel engine of 9 hp (7 kW) for docking and maneuvering.[1]

Operational history

A 2013 review in Cruising World by Jen Brett, described the design as "a salty little boat" and noted "with a large cockpit, the Shrimper makes an excellent daysailer for a family, and the basic yet comfortable accommodations below allow the boat to be a simple coastal cruiser." Of the boat's looks, she wrote, "you’ll definitely turn heads while sailing through the harbor".[5]

gollark: So I'm going to use a LRU cache thing of some sort which will actually evict old items.
gollark: It's not a GC problem, they're referenced in an object.
gollark: The issue is basically that it loads Markov chains into RAM when operating on them and never clears then ever.
gollark: Maybe I need to implement a LRU cache instead of just loading all things ever into RAM?
gollark: This is due to people bad.
