Prout 35 Snowgoose

S/V Other Goose is a 1980 Prout 35 Custom Snowgoose, built in Britain and sailed over by the first owner to the southern Caribbean. We are the second owners and have sailed her from the southern Caribbean to the head of the Great Lakes and back to the Bahamas several times.

She is stable, solid and reliable in any conditions. 35 feet long by 16.5 foot beam. Weight 13000lbs., [ solid fibreglass hull and decks – no coring]. She has a kevlar t rampoline, not a hard front deck.

Boat is in great condition with new rig, main sail and 3YM Yanmar diesel [2200 hours]. Maintained and used as a live-aboard for several years. Our information is she was a prototype; hence the wider beam and many extra berths when we bought her.

Prout catamarans (UK) have have a history going back 50 years, with a reputation for tough, high quality, popular design and excellent ocean going capability. Roland and Francis Prout were successful canoeists who paddled for Great Britain in the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games. Soon after, they decided to tie two of their sleek cold-moulded kayaks together with bamboo poles resulting in an efficient high-speed sailing craft. The Prout business grew from those successful experiments in 1954 to the most famous and well respected catamaran producing company in the world, picking up a ‘Queens award for industry’ along the way. In 1964 it was a Prout catamaran that became the first multi-hull to circumnavigate the globe.

There were more Prout catamarans circumnavigating the world than any other design at one time. All Prout catamarans are designed and constructed by yachtsmen to combine technology with traditional boat building skills. Prout Catamarans was the first boat builder in the UK to receive Lloyds ISO 9002 quality standard recognition. Prout prides themselves in keeping in touch with owners through an excellent after-sales service and a strong owners association.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The SNOWGOOSE started out as the 34/35, was lengthened over time and became SNOWGOOSE 37.

Boat: Prout Snowgoose 35
from those very much more experienced than I.

I’m pretty new to sailing and acquired a snowgoose 35 in December with a view to taking the off through the canals and for a couple of years and possibly further if we feel we have gained enough ability/confidence by then.

The is a bit of a but, says, she is fundamentally sound and I am happy to put in the work/money if she will be the right for us. The thing is, there is lots of information out there saying about how great the “Prout Snowgoose” is etc but it very rarely specifies the model and with the 35 being so old I guess most of the etc were pre-internet.

We have been aboard a couple of Elites and the rear cabins in particular would be great for the but we are the trip by selling the house so if we were to bail on the 35 and go for an Elite we would have to cut a year or possibly even two off the trip to cover the difference.

So there, at last, is my question - what is your opinion on the Snowgoose 35 against the other snow geese, are they in the same league as the newer ones in terms of seaworthiness, etc.

Thanks very much

Boat: looking for next boat
flat and with of less than a metre she opens up some cruising areas that I could not get near in my .
The older snowgoose with the slimmer hulls will sail faster and point higher than the elites. The elites however have more space and loading them with full cruising kit will carry the increased weight more efficiently. On either if you need to load them keep the weight out of the ends, this will make them much more comfortable underway, but do try to keep them as light as possible, a heavy prout is slow.
Both are excellent long distance makers, check out how many have made circumnavigations.
If the kids are young and not to big, I would stick to the plan and put the rest of the in the cruising kitty.
lots of additional info on the owners forum

Good luck and fair winds

Boat: Prout Snowgoose 35
to get the 35 sorted for , whilst we would have a very well sorted boat, we would be unlikely to recoup the spent when we sell so changing midway through might not be affordable. That’s why I’m trying to make sure we off in the right boat for longer term.

Cueball, your point about weight carrying capacity is one of my main concerns with the 35. I have read lots about how the elite is much better in this regard but is the 35 still ok for a of 4? My wife and I have backpacked quite extensively and are perfectly happy living long term with little more than a change of pants and a toothbrush but the kids are a different ball . They are only 2 & 4 but seem to need an immense amount of stuff - and that’s not even counting the weight of the hundreds of “special” shells that will inevitably end up on board!

Thanks again for your replies and if anyone has anything further to add ref the Snowgoose 35’s abilities or lack thereof it would be much appreciated, particularly if anyone knows of individual that have crossed oceans or had families living on etc.

By the way, Atoll, I avidly follow your Elite build thread and am in awe of your work!

Boat: Prout 34
for then I'd say it could be comfortable for your . It's an easy forgiving boat for one person to handle. Little heeling is a big and comfort factor for the family. Doesn't like to move forward quietly or easily when and short period waves are fwd of midship. Not particularly great at anything but not bad either. An affordable cruising cat for those of us having a very modest . At this point not many other cats with a Snowgoose's range of capabilities.

to in increments. One segment was from Port Fourchan, LA to Sabine Pass, TX. I just didn't have time in my schedule and hired a for that 280 mile leg. brought his wife and another captain. Both are on retainer to deliver a lot of boats from manufacturer to new owners.


They got caught in one of the Gulf's microcells. Rigs reported winds gusting to 75, seas 12-16 feet. He said once he listened to the boat and sailed her her way, she handled the storm very well. Called me about three months later and said it was the safest boat he had been in and had just bought one.


Mine is a '77, hulls are thick and strong, is stout. Not the fasted cat out there, my best is 11 knots, but certainly one of the best cruising and safety records. We bought our boat from a family of eight adults who lived on her for two years...we have never figured out how...but for what you intend you have a really good family boat. Ours has the forward starboard converted to pantry. You could still put a kid in there to sleep. Just lock up any snacks

Boat: Prout
in the Med. If you werent staying over or in hot places for the months when you could be out more I guess a 35 would be fine though less roomy especially for for youngsters. If youve already got it, go with what youve got. If its Prout you are as safe as you are going to get in something that size for you and your family, they are forgiving and hold their own.
04-07-2018, 13:58  
on mine so if you need any advice feel free to ask.

I think the only problem you may encounter is storage space - if you use under the bunks etc there is quite a bit for a 35 foot boat but like you say kids need lots...

above, much better ventilation and light. No, not the fastest cat and will pound going into short step waves but will take it.

A couple things to check, The aft box had a mild mounting plate which was rusting away on mine, I fabbed a new on in SS. Mine also had mild at the tops of the rudders ( inside). If you see cracking, would be worth to take apart and check. The lower box ( base of the helm) was also mild steel but is difficult to access and mine was in good condition. My 1974 35 had the front hulls filled with mild steel "punchings" encapsulated with resin to balance out the weight of the heavy . We changed to a 15 hp Yamaha and were nose heavy after that.



I drilled an access hole for each tank and epoxied in a threaded fitting and cap so I could easily check the level. Also tied the two together as the used a lot more water than the . My 74 also had a lot of untinned wire, badly corroded after so many years, plan on replacing as much as you can.. It was also undersized to today's standards.


Overall, we had a lot of fun with that boat!!

Boat: Prout Snowgoose 35
getting hammered in one then going out and his own though, we’re a close family but there are limits!

Thanks Snowgoose 35 for you offer of advise in the , I’ll definitely take you up on that if we stick to this and Sailorman Ed, it sounds like our boats are very similar, ours is 1973 and has most of the issues you mentioned. In our case she had been sat on a beach in Penryn for a few years and the steering was very stiff so disconnected each zone in turn. It turned out the rear steering box has been re- fixed with aluminium profile so will sort that but it was nice and free, as were the rudders and those amazingly intricate universal joints. We traced the issue to a knackered on the steering box under the and managed to free is up by trickling down the shaft from the . It’s not perfect but lasted the 3 days to get us back to Chichester. Do you know if these steering boxes are still available? My initial thought was to swap out the whole system for something like teleflex with the rear steering box being swapped for a fixed pivot point for the plate that the tie-bars attach to, possibly even with a filler pilot attached to this plate as well? This set up would shed at least 30 - 40 kg I would guess and be much simpler but don’t know if teleflex is strong enough for those big old rudders, any thoughts?

It’s also very interesting about the lead shot in your boats bows, I’m fairly sure we don’t have that as the forward crash compartments are open (on the list!!) and look to taper to a fine “V” all the way back but we definitely do have a very heavy old lump in the back that will be replaced with a refurbed Beta or the like. What is you do to re-balance the trim?

Several of you have alluded to storage being a potential issue with the kids and that was why we were perhaps veering towards jumping ship to an Elite. The big thing is that the aft cabins being that bit wider mean my wife and I could have one aft cabin with the kids in the other aft and the forward cabins, whereas on the 35 we would have the forward part of the for us and the kids in the two aft cabins. That means you kind of get the double whammy with the elite as it’s bigger in general but also you get the whole massive as a living space rather than half of it. There is also lots of storage cubbies under the saloon seating that are absent on the 35....... Aaaargh, decisions, decisions!

Thanks again for all the advise and please, keep it coming.

aft and replaced it with Nidacore and glass mat. The stern came up 3 inches! After we were unable to get a new u joint for the Volvo outdrive, we replaced the whole thing with the 25 hp Yamaha, the stern came up more but we compensated with all the in the back. We also added and hung our and 5 hp from there, the trim was back to almost normal.



While there is quite a bit of drag due to 3 steering boxes, I would rebuilt the back one, much more robust than teleflex. Do you have the outdrive steering handle? I did replace that linkage w teleflex type



I think there is plenty of storage. We slept in the forward center, curtain across to separate from the , lightweight items forward in both hulls, clothes under the froward berth ( we also added 2 sets of lightweight plastic shelf assemblies - that worked well). Canned under the sets. The "icebox" was used for storage. We converted the SB aft cabin for our pantry and had an extra 30 gal there which turned out we really did not need. We bought a good sized 12v fridge Dometic that worked GREAT and had it just behind the aft SB bulkhead, easily accessable to the . Used lots of large plastic totes to keep food organized. , wine and drinks were under the P aft cabin. Empty spare and water jugs were kept way in the back.Also the 3rd (Danforth type ) was back there.

We had a 35 lb and good size Danforth up front, normally used about 35 ft chain, rest was 1/2" 3 strand. We did also carry but only used twice, was 160 ft of 5/16" chain. was better than the original but not as good as our . We used a 3/8" 3 strand nearly every night. Prusik for the .



Wife and I cruised all thru the , had another couple join us for a while, then our son for several weeks and then another large friend for several weeks. I did fabricate a large rigid to cover the and we stored lightweight up there. Space never seemed to be an issue.



BTW, we had 2 140 watt , seemed to be just right for our needs. Ed

who thinks it’s a Whitlock steering system and he may be able to supply the box under the but I need to confirm dimensions and can’t get anywhere near the thing without cutting big holes. I have seen a 35 on YouTube with a in the floor which would allow a chance of getting at it, does yours have that and do you know if it is indeed Whitlock. If anyone knows the secret to getting these steering boxes out I’d be grateful for any tips.

I have tried to attach a couple of pics, one through the nacelle from the bay and the closeup is by picking my through a 4inch access hole in the main bulkhead by the .

Couple of other questions if I may - did you need to make a sub frame before installing the Nidacore and glass rear ? Mine is currently planking but I’m fairly sure it’s just stained pine decking rather than anything useful so like the idea of glassing it.
Also what kind of did you have as the friction in the steering must need quite a bit of even when it is working properly.
Finally, would you be able to give further details of your rigid (pics would be great) as I’m very keen on that idea. Also did you have to fix your boom higher to clear it as the boom on ours is very low.

Thanks again all for taking an interest and offering your advice, much appreciated

  1. SNOWGOOSE 35 (PROUT)

    LENGTH: Traditionally, LOA (length over all) equaled hull length. Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).
