ARE YOU QUIET SURE YOU SAIL A TRAPPER 500 RICHARD??

they are NOT sea kindly having a very quick movement particularly in any sort of sea, Off Hornum, Sylt (North Friesians) in a force 8 with a very short, sea the pitching oscilation time was little more than one second. They also slam heavily if pointed too high into a chop.

but they are an excellant sea boat; Sula has NEVER taken green water over the bow!

they are also difficult to heave to, and will not self steer on any point

but then again. how many other boats can do a tight figure of eight going ASTERN? trappers can!...and they can almost spin on their own axis

with that ability to manouvre, you want Sea Kindly...dream on!"
