‘Borka’ is a well kept Shrimper 21, built 2016, two owners since new and kept and sailed on Chichester Harbour. The Shrimper 21 is a classic style modern boat, giving a great balance between comfort down below and small-boat handling on deck.
Upgrades on manufacture include:
Teak cockpit seats and sole
Coppercoat antifouling
Rope cutter
Second battery
Upholstery in Madigan Rigby Indigo
Cabin lights
Masthead navigation lights
VHF aerial with wind indicator
Borka is currently ashore at Bosham, where her wooden mast has been professionally overhauled and given a hardwood pad to stand on, protecting it from dampness on the deck (if looking at others, check the state of the foot of the mast..). She also had a new bowsprit this winter and other softwood elements overhauled.
Navigation equipment consists of a Garmin combined chart-plotter and depth sounder - this sits on a purpose built platform that allows it to be stowed below decks when the boat is left closed up. Below the waterline, Borka benefits from copper-coat antifouling.
Her first owner kept her in Chichester Harbour and since buying her in 2019, we have mostly day-sailed on the harbour, enjoying overnight stays at anchor at East Head, as well as occasional visits to marinas within the harbour. During the summer, we've kept her on a swinging mooring at Bosham, wintering ashore at Bosham Yacht Company.
