Prout 37 Snowgoose Elite Catamarans For Sale

The Prout Snowgoose 37 Elite, is basically the same is the renowned Snowgoose 37 but with a wider beam by 1 foot, 2″ more draft, 5″ taller mast, and a few kilograms heavier displacement.
Prout’s Snowgoose 37 is the definitive cat. The boat which quite simply put multi-hulls on the map. They are considered the safest, most comfortable and easy-to-handle cruising boats in the world. What makes the Snow Goose so special is that they offer good all around performance, an excellent safety record, and they hold their value. These catamaran’s look nice, are very sea kindly in storm conditions. Most have a propeller which can be raised when sailing, and an outdrive leg which can be steered with your foot; a rare few have twin diesel engines. She almost turns on her own length, making marina maneuvers incredibly easy.
Chosen as #2 of the top nine cruising boats of all time by Cruising World Magazine, the Prout Snowgoose 37 is an “affordable” blue water catamaran. The words “affordable” and “Blue Water” are not an oxymoron with this excellent design. The fact that so many Prout Catamarans are successfully cruising the world speaks for itself.
The Snowgoose 37 Elite is not, by any means a lightweight. The displacement is 5500 kgs and heavier than many monohulls of similar length. The hulls are solid GRP below the waterline and cored from the waterline north. The bridgedeck is solid, and although this adds weight it also provides rigidity between the hulls that a single crossbar can’t match. While most cats rely almost entirely on modular construction, the Snowgoose 37 is built more traditionally with bulkheads and furniture facings securely tabbed to the hull.
