The Trapper 950 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of British yacht building, marking the transition from the C&Cinfluenced designs of the 1970s to the performanceoriented cruiserracer aesthetic of the 1980s. Launched in 1981 by Trapper Yachts (formerly Anstey Yachts), the 950 was a departure from the earlier Trapper 500 and 501. While the previous models were largely derived from Canadian C&C molds, the Trapper 950 was penned by the legendary naval architect Ed Dubois. This shift in design pedigree brought a more modern hull form and a fractional rig to the brand, catering to sailors who demanded a vessel capable of both competitive club racing and comfortable coastal cruising.
