About the COROMANDEL
A Corribee with a junk rig standard. Available with fin keel. Available with outboard well or inboard. See the Corribee Association website for more details.
The Coromandel is a compact, lightweight cruising yacht designed by Robert Tucker and built by Newbridge Boats Ltd. (UK) in 1982. With a production run of unknown quantity, this 20.75 ft LOA vessel is defined by its distinctive Junk Rig and twin/triple keel configuration.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and protected waters, appealing to sailors who prioritize easy single-handed handling and shallow draft access over high-speed performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 2000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.28, the Coromandel is not designed for offshore bluewater passage making and is strictly limited to coastal and inshore use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other small, lightweight daysailers and coastal cruisers from the early 1980s that feature simple rigs or shallow-draft keels, such as the Wayfarer or similar 20-foot class dinghies with cabin accommodations.
