Brief details

Trapper Yachts |
The Trapper 700 is
a spacious fast cruiser, built as a development of the C&C35 fin-keeler. The Trapper 700 had the unusual option for a boat of this size of a centreboard,
allowing you to explore shallower anchorages and use moorings unsuitable
for normal deep fin-keelers. |

Trapper Yachts was formed in 1970 when Deacons
Boatyard took over Anstey Yachts, and renamed the company
Trapper Yachts. Trapper produced a range of boats including
the 500 and 501, and the C&C 35, mostly to designs by
the Canadian firm of Cuthbertson and Cassian. The C&C 35 was first built in 1969 in Canada, before production in the UK was taken up by Trapper Yachts.
After building around 20 fin-keeled C&C 35s, Paul Anstey redesigned the deck and coach roof, and also created a centreboard option, and
this was marketed as the Trapper 700. It was supplied with
fixed keel or centreboard options, the centreboarders being more popular. The plan here shows the centreboard version, the fin-keeler having a shorter and deeper sharks-fin shaped iron keel.
The Trapper 700 is one of the very few performance-orientated
yachts available of this size with a centreboard, making it
a very practical fast cruiser, particularly in these days
of difficulty finding deep water moorings.
