Owners Comments

"Scrapper" has been in the same family ownership from new. She was purchased in 1973 and cruised & raced locally at West Mersea. She has been much updated over the years including fitting a Lombardini diesel, extra batteries, re-wiring, solar panels and NASA instruments. The Trapper 28 is designed to be a delight to sail, her accommodation is good but headroom is limited. A professional survey was carried out in 2022 for insurance. She is currently ashore and ready fro viewing!
