Broker's Comments

Boatshed Cornwall have the opportunity to list this Trapper 300 cruiser/racer sailing yacht. Designed by Bruce Kirby, better known for the Laser dinghy, back in 1976. The Trapper 300 is a cruiser/racer quarter tonner yacht, with about 180 having been built.

This example was seen on the swinging mooring and offered an impression of a well cared for and loved yacht, having been in the same ownership since new. Once onboard this was further supported by the upgrades and cleanliness.

Some upgrades include:
Renewed main engine (2011)
Renewed anodes (2022)
Lat antifouled (2024)

A one owner from new yacht and clearly one that appears to have been looked after. If this type of yacht appeals to you then I would recommend it is added to your viewing list.
