trapper t30

[halyardmonkey.]

Dear All,

As my persistent search for the perfect (for me) Yacht continues, I have come across a trapper t30 on various websites. This seems to be different from the T300, in that the T30 is a 30' cruiser racer rather than a 26 footer. This boat was made around 1982.

I cannot find any reference to the t30, so much so, that I wonder if it is listed correctly....Obviously plenty of references to the T300

From the pics, I like the look of it, its the right size, shape and sail configuration for my tastes.... And would like to know more about these boats before I take the long drive down to see it.

I would like to know more..... have you sailed on one? do you know any more about them??????

Thank you for your help!

Sailed/raced on a Trapper 30 in the early 90's out of Hamble - Jemima Puddleduck (Jem could easily be a shortened version of that). I dont remember too much about her to be honest but definitely a 30 not a 300/500. If you want to know more PM me an email address and I'll pass it on to the ex-owner.

I have a trapper 28 (which is for sale btw), and it sails beautifully, very quick in light air (mine won class in rtir and cleaned up in local regattas, a bit short on interior space (although i lived on it for 18months as did a previous owner) and some of the construction is a bit crude. It was designed by C + C but the spade rudder was changed for something a bit more conventional by the builders in Poole. Very well mannered with excellent maneuverability, clean decks and low freeboard make working it very easy. Nice big cockpit.

RobbieW,

You're right, she was originally called Jemima Puddleduck.

Another thread about her here:

Once went to view a Trapper T31 which was very nice but way overpriced, similar looking to a Sadler 32 IIRC...

Edit - found old advert for it:
