1988 Trapper 501

This fine example of the highly regarded  fin keel Trapper 501 was built by Trapper yachts at Burseldon in 1988 .   She was the last of the class to be built  hence the name "Finale". She has been with the present owner since 1993.

Yachting Monthly described the Trapper 501 as  " A popular all rounder, well balanced, and easy to handle , ideal for family use but capable of offshore cruising or racing."

Finale benefits from a new Yanmar engine, installed 2007 with only 35hrs use.  

A storage cradle is included in the sale. Some interior woodwork requires sanding and varnishing where condensation has caused stains.

The accommodation is bright and attractive, with 6 ft headroom.  Upholstery is cream vinyl in perfect condition. A total of six berths are available in two cabins.

There is a single settee berth on the starboard side of the saloon and  on the port side the settee and saloon table can convert to a double berth if required. A single quarter berth is located aft on the port side of the saloon.

The fore cabin offers two berths made into a spacious double with the use of an infill.

Forward on the port side is a separate heads compartment equipped with a sea toilet and wash basin.
