Around 180 Trapper 300”s of two interior versions were constructed, many being completed from kits. A considerable portion of these were sold in Poland, but some also went to USA and Hong Kong.
Keels were originally available in lead or cast iron, the majority being the cast iron version. A number were later modified with a bulb on the bottom of the keel.
Many different engines were fitted, although the most common, fitted by Trapper Yachts, was the Yanmar YSE8.
The hull is the same as the C&C 27 MKI though keels were cast iron. The TRAPPER 501 was produced in 1981 on the same hull but with different coach roof and inner moldings. Late 500’s were made with 501 inner moldings.
Initially the yachts were fitted with a Dolphin 12hp gas engine. Later models were equipped with a 10 hp Yanmar diesel.
Designed for amateur builder of plywood construction though the majority have been professionally built.
New version with fiberglass hull introduced in 1978.
Updated version with cutter rig from Golden Hind Marine (GOLDEN HIND 31 MKII) (1992).
