Comments The Trapper 500 was designed by Canadian designers Cuthbertson & Cassion who were re-known for designing fast blue water performance craft. Seeing a niche in the market then put their design skills and expertise into building into building a safe comfortable and affordable cruising yacht that would still get the owner from A to B in a reasonable time scale. The deep cockpit and comings offers safety and protection for the whole family. Lady Pickle is a good example of the design and has stood the test of time well, she has been regularly maintained and upgraded through her history. This craft is in regular use and ready to Sail Now. Contact Reimar Now to View on freephone : 0800 038 8500
