Launch of the latest addition to our family, the Cormorant Day boat at the 2010 Beale Park Boat Show.
As with our Limpet many people admired the Cormorant in wood but really wanted the convenience of GRP.
We have still kept her classic design and all that have sailed her have nothing but praise for how she sails.
Originally launched in wood with a Gunter Rig, but after the success of the Limpet’s simplicity to rig we decided to offer the Cormorant with two variations; the Gunter Rigged and the Balanced Lug version, leaving it up to the customer to decide which one meets their sailing requirements.
