The first Corribee was clinker-built - shown here being relaunched after undergoing a refit at Clare Lallows yard (by Laurie Boarer) in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. She was built on the banks of Lough Corrib in Co Galway, Eire, which explains the shamrock sail insignia.
Relaunching on the Isle of Wight - August 1998
Designed by Robert Tucker and built in 1965 she was first launched on the Medway. At present she is owned by Pat Hurley (who has connections with the Classic Boat Museum in Newport, IW).
About ten Corribees were built in wood. They look remarkably similar to the clinker-built Folkboats of the same period.
