Designed by Roger Dongray in 1978 and first launched by Cornish Crabbers in 1979, the Shrimper 19 quickly became their most popular model and remains in production today, with over 1,100 built. A true classic of British boatbuilding, the Shrimper combines traditional gaff-rig charm with the practicality of a trailer-sailer, shallow draft, and surprising seaworthiness. Its enduring appeal has made it a favourite with both cruising families and club sailors around the world.
 
Collars have been supplying traditional wooden spars for the Shrimper 19 for decades. Our spars are priced constructed, shaped, sanded fine and sealed with a wash coat of Sikkens. We can supply fully finished spars—full Sikkens system and dressed with the fittings from your existing spars. Normally these are sent to us at time of order; we clean them up and re-fit them to the new spars after all the coatings has been applied. Please add this option to the basket if required.
