Re: Trapper 300

I sail a Trapper 300, am a professional smallcraft surveyor and could be described as the coordinator of the Plymouth (UK) group of owners. We enjoy class racing on Thursday evenings and, hopefully in 2007, on Friday evenings too. The design offers a lot to anyone seeking a satisfying sailing performance, combined with reasonable headroom (realistically 5'9" in the main cabin, reducing as you go forward in the boat). The cockpit is generous by comparison with most 26' boats of the age. A comparable design to the Sadler 25, but with more headroom. Two alternative layouts available; the second one with a dedicated chart table and larger galley.

Re: Trapper 300

I have no experience of the Cantabrico Sea and wouldn't express an opinion.

Re: Trapper 300

I sailed a Trapper 300 for 10 years on the Clyde, It's an extremely seaworthy boat, although due to its fine stern tends to roll substantially when sailing downwind. I sailed the boat from the Clyde to Cork in gale conditions with no problems, although pretty miserable at the end of the trip, the boat was in perfect condition.

Wouldn't want to pay much over 9000 for one today

Re: Trapper 300

the website Trapper 300.org.uk is very informative with copies of original brochures and spec sheets from the builders. Where are you based? If saiiling in the South West of England, we want to talk to you! - there is a selection of T300's available through the Plymouth T300 group of owners. Ring me, James Green, on 07831 435682.

Hi James,

I don't have a 300 but perhaps you could make your members aware of our forum. www.voy.com/106963/
