The Unified Corribee Website

Some time ago I promised to prepare the tooling and jigs for a small run of replacement Corribee tillers. At last this has happened and I have produced the first batch of six (using some beautifully figured solid teak), which are now available* (see HERE). Just the answer if your present tiller is cosmetically challenged or you need a spare for emergencies.

A further batch is planned for next week – this time laminated in mahogany and spruce (some people like the stripey look). 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).

*Update = 3 sold, so only 3 solid timber versions available from stock at present.

Update 2 – 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.
