Portrait of the sailing ship:
Last update: 01 Oct 1998
- built as a replica of the crab cutters traditional in Southern England
- her hull is based on the original design of the boats fishing the English Channel and the Atlantic. The Cornish Crabber is the smaller type of the well-known Falmouth Working Boat.
- "Betty" is one of the first replicas, with special emphasis placed on traditional appearance and simple handling of the rig
- with the change of sea area from the Atlantic to the Baltic Sea, the gaff-rigging (jib, foresail, main and topsail) was extended by way of the topmast, making it possible to set an additional flying jib as the 5th sail. This increases the sail area to 41m².
