The Trapper 300 is a quintessential example of the 1970s racercruiser, emerging from a period when the IOR (International Offshore Rule) heavily influenced yacht architecture. Designed by the legendary Bruce Kirby—the naval architect responsible for the ubiquitous Laser dinghy—and built by Trapper Yachts (formerly Anstey Yachts) in Poole, the Trapper 300 was conceived as a competitive Quarter Tonner that didn't sacrifice basic cruising amenities. Despite its name, the boat measures approximately 26 feet 3 inches (8.02 meters) in length, a designation choice likely intended to signal its volume and capability compared to smaller competitors of the era.
