Discover the Trapper 500, an iconic boat traditionally manufactured in 1980 and currently located in Plymouth, United Kingdom. This classic yacht has been under the same ownership for 20 years, showing extraordinary maintenance levels. An 8.23-meter overall length and a 2.74-metre beam offer ample comfort and room, whilst the reliable Yanmar 2GM engine assures smooth sailing experiences. With a brand new 2021 mainsail, she is prepared for new adventures on the South Coast. Riff Raff, as she is affectionately known, has an impressive cabin accommodation arrangement sleeping six comfortably. Equipped with an L-shaped galley, sea water toilet, and versatile saloon, you'll feel the comfort whilst onboard. Her navigation aids include Garmin GPS 128 and Raymarine ST60 tridata. Included in the purchase are a Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 240 inflatable dinghy and a Yamaha 3hp, 2-stroke outboard engine. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a nippy and seaworthy sailor that has been lovingly maintained for two decades. It’s your chance to carry on the legacy of this 1980 Trapper 500, a trustworthy companion for delightful sailing trips and weekend cruises.
Remarks :This Trapper 500 has been in the same ownership for 20 years and has been maintained to a high standard, she boasts a Yanmar 2GM engine which was new in 2004 and regularly maintained. She has had a new mainsail from 2021 which has very little use due to the pandemic.Owners Remarks:I have sailed Riff Raff very enjoyably and comfortably, mostly day sailing from Plymouth with some weekends and weeks cruising on the South coast between Brixham and Falmouth. For her size, I found her a nippy sailor and seaworthy - though never tested in heavy weather.
