Used Trapper 300 Sailboats for Sale

The Trapper 300, a compact yet capable sailboat, carved out a niche as a popular dual-purpose cruiser-racer, designed to excel on the race course while offering comfortable accommodations for coastal cruising. Originally conceived as a competitive Quarter Tonner, its heritage speaks to performance, balanced with the practicalities desired by cruising enthusiasts. This spirited masthead sloop was penned by the celebrated naval architect Bruce Kirby, renowned for his design of the ubiquitous Laser dinghy, and brought to life by Anstey Yachts Ltd., which later became Trapper Yachts. With approximately 180 units constructed, many of which were completed from kits, the Trapper 300 established a strong presence, particularly in Europe, and continues to be appreciated for its robust construction and lively sailing characteristics.
