The Unified Corribee Website

Spotted on one of Dylan Winter’s excellent sailing videos – a Coromandel at around 4m 52s. We’ve posted links to Dylan’s work before, and they are an excellent source of inspiration for coastal cruisers, creek crawlers and anyone else who enjoys mucking about in boats or boating about in muck.

Some time ago I promised to prepare the tooling and jigs for a small run of replacement Corribee tillers. This happened in January 2012 and I have since made up three  batches in various timbers and sizes (see HERE). Just the answer if your present tiller is cosmetically challenged or you need a spare for emergencies.

Most popular so far is the short pattern in solid teak or iroko. I hope to keep a small number in stock, just in case an urgent replacement is needed, but will also be able to make to order in case your choice of timber is not available off the shelf (turn-round time is usually less than a week).

A couple of the laminated tillers – a short pattern in mahogany/spruce and a long pattern in English oak/spruce:

Yet another epic voyage to Northern waters, this time well into the Arctic and reaching a point north-west of Spitzbergen. If my map reading is correct it is approximately as shown by the green arrow on the Google Maps screenshot below:

There is a healthy market for Corribees and Coromandels, and we get a number of advertisement requests each month from both buyers and sellers. Check the For Sale and Wanted page for our current ads – which currently includes a very tidy-looking bilge keeler in Stoke Gabriel (South Devon), and Tonga, a late mk2 fin-keeler ready for the season. Also well worth a look is Otter, a mk 2 and one of the few fitted with a Yanmar inboard diesel engine. Spares and fittings are always needed by restorers so if you have any un-needed parts available that others could use (especially spars, rigging and furling gear) an advertisement will get them to someone who can make good use of them.

We don’t have a formal payment system for the advertising page – all we ask is that it is boat-related and that you consider making a small donation to the site to help us cover our web hosting costs. Send an email to corribeeeditors@googlemail.com with the desired text and attach any photos you want to display. We recommend setting up a temporary email address (with, for example, Yahoo or Google) if you wish to avoid your main address becoming a spam target.
