The Corribee was first built in 1965 to a design by Robert Tucker for a 21' clinker built yacht. The design was bought by Newbridge Yachts in the late 1960s and built in fibreglass as a fin or bilge keeled yacht, progressing through 3 incarnations. It was also sold with junk rig, as were several of Newbridge's boats, and called the Coromandel.

Mark 1
From 1970(?) to ~1975
The original had a significantly different shape coachroof to later boats with a generally rather more angular appearance. Available from the start with bilge or fin keels. The fin keeled version draws 3', the bilge keeled just 2'1". There was a separate rudder with no skeg.

Mark 2
Mark 2 CorribeeFrom ~1975 to ~1982
The coachroof design was changed substantially, giving a distinctive two level appearance, the mast being stepped on the lower "forecabin" roof. After this initial change the mark 2 continued to evolve throughout its lifetime, with an increase in headroom, a skeg being added to the rudder and the bilge keels becoming assymetric aerofoils to improve windward performance.

Mark 3 From ~1982 to ~1986?
The mark 3 had many of the features of the late mark 2, but with a few almost cosmetic changes on the outside - including an anchor locker - and a significantly different interior, giving a two berth layout with a separate forecabin for heads and stowage.
