'trapper 501' Yacht With New Unused Set Of Mylar Sails

Trapper 501 Sailing Yacht 1982 ( build number 485 ) To be sold with a new unused tri-radial cut Mylar mainsail and a new unused tri-radial clear Mylar and Carbon Diax genoa, both of which are beautifully cut. I will be happy to sell her at a considerable discounted figure with a good set of Dacron sails in place of the new Mylar sails. Please contact me for more details. A later 'Trapper Yachts of Poole' version of the very successful and well respected C&C designed Trapper 500 yacht's built by Anstey Yachts. The 501 has a redesigned deck, superstructure and interior moulding giving greater headroom and more modern exterior windows and forward alloy hatch.

This design of yacht is well built and respected and is a very safe and go anywhere boat that can also offer a good turn of speed for the occasional club racing. She is masthead sloop rigged and has a fin keel with a spade rudder and tiller steering, which has been freshly varnished. She sleeps 6 in a roomy and well laid out interior and feels to be a larger boat than her 28 foot. She has a separate double berth in the bow. A dining area to port in the saloon with a table, that converts into a further double.

Opposite is a single berth and a pilot quarter berth in the port aft. Between the bow and the saloon to port is a separate heads with a pull out vanity sink with fresh pumped water and opposite is a useful hanging wardrobe and drawers. The galley has a fully gimbled gas stainless steel cooker with a 2 burner hob with grill and oven. There are 2 sinks with pumped fresh water from a deck filled water tank, an ice box and good cupboard storage. There is also a brass hand rail with a safety strop for cooking in comfort whilst under sail.

There is a slide away half size chart table to port above the pilot berth with plenty of useful cupboards and shelves throughout offering good storage. The engine is a Yanmar 10hp diesel driving a shaft driven propeller with the control panel and engine controls in the cockpit. (The engine is in the process of being fully serviced for the new season ) The mast head alloy sloop rig has a roller reefing boom for the mainsail and a Plastimo roller reefing genoa which makes sailing and reefing very easy under way for a young family or sailing single handed, should the breeze freshen up. The interior has a real pleasant teak timber and grp finish. The grp inner moulded head lining gives good insulation and does away with the drooping and tired looking vinyl headlining of some other makes of yacht of this age.

The cushions are covered professionally in a pale blue upholstery material. There is a spacious outside cockpit seating area covered from new in natural teak planking and there is provision for a useful outside cockpit table for dining alfresco. She is moored in south Devon on a marina berth. Please excuse the lack of quality photographs at this time, but I will be uploading more detailed ones next week. Also please understand that I will be unable to show anyone over her until mid February.

I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have, and thank you for your interest. P.S. I apologize that I have been unable to visit the boat to add additional pictures, but I have down loaded the original Trapper 500 brochure pictures showing the interior layout. The 501 is very similar but the galley has twin sinks and a full Plastimo 'Neptune' cooker.
