Description

"Le Moulin Vert” is a very good example of the well respected Cornish Crabber Mark 1 class. She benefits from having been recently re-engined and having 2015 sails that have been very little used. The Crabber Mark 1 combines the traditional look and feel of an old gaffer with the reduced maintenance of a GRP hull and a modern diesel inboard engine. “Le Moulin Vert” was carefully laid up ashore under a heavy winter cover 3 years ago and, consequently, is in excellent condition.

Owner’s Remarks
“Le Moulin Vert” is in very good condition having been regularly maintained and kept up to date including having a new Beta Marine engine, new sails and much more.

I am only the fourth owner of “Le Moulin Vert” and when I bought her I was passed a big file with the boat including the full history, the original documentation, the original brochure, the manual that was supplied with the boat when new and receipts for money spent. Since then I have kept all the receipts for work that I have had done so, the boat comes with very good provenance.

She is a very pretty boat that attracts a lot of attention wherever she goes. She has been a delight to own and has been much loved.
