The Trapper 250 represents a refined chapter in the evolution of British production boatbuilding, emerging from the transition of Anstey Yachts into Trapper Yachts under The Granary Group. Designed by the legendary naval architect Ed Dubois, the T250 was introduced in the late 1970s as a sophisticated evolution of the Trapper 240. While the 240 had established a foothold in the small cruiser market, the T250 offered a more polished approach to the "cruiserracer" concept, blending a performanceoriented hull with an interior that maximized the 25foot footprint. As documented by the Trapper Owners Association, the model remains a staple of the UK coastal cruising scene, prized for its ability to punch above its weight in both speed and seakindliness.
