catamaran snowgoose 35

Meet Jade – An introduction to my sailing catamaran

A tour of my prout snowgoose 35. no, i didn't choose the name.

I bought Jade in May 2017, after spending more than six months searching for an affordable yet blue water capable catamaran.

Jade is a 1977 Prout Snowgoose 35 built to Lloyds Standard in the UK. According to the registration she’s 10.36 meters. A length that works well when it comes to paying mooring fees in the crowded Mediterranean, but on recent measurement I found the length to be closer to 10.67m (35′). I suppose it all depends on whether you include the rudders of not. Either way, what’s 30cm between friends.

The Snowgoose 35 is a three cabin catamaran by design with additional berths in the saloon. Jade however, has undergone something of a conversion, with the starboard bow cabin being turned into a dressing room, and the forward saloon berth partitioned off and turned into a double ‘owners cabin.’ Compared to vessels like the Heavenly Twins 27 and the Commanche 32, I find it to be a wasteful design, but it does keep the boat nice and compact.

In theory, the current layout could sleep five people, six if there is a couple along. In reality, the owners cabin is a true double at 135cm wide, and is the only cabin with standing headroom on entrance. The Port quarter cabin is a decent sized single berth, but is a crawl space. The starboard quarter cabin has been turned into a storage room. Interestingly though, on a passage from Mainland Portugal to Maderia, I did have couple share the port side cabin. Perhaps they hadn’t been together long, or were just cosy sleepers, either-way it did seem to work for them.

This really limits the possibilities when searching for crew, or when having guests on board. It is something that I would like to address at some point in the future.

Compared to similar vessels, I find the bathroom/head, and galley to be spacious, especially considering that I’m sailing single-handed. I’m sure when cooking for more than a couple of people, or taking turns to shower that the space shrinks dramatically. Still, it’s good for now.

The boat was previously owned by a couple who sailed her for around 4 years. It was obviously kitted it out to suit them, but unfortunately some of the design choices leave a lot to be desired. Blue linoleum anyone?! This will be addressed at a later date.

Basic specifications

Prout Snowgoose 35

Length: 10.36m or (10.72m) Beam: 4.57m Draft: 0.84m Sails: Furling main (13.5m2), staysail, genoa (36m2), symmetric spinnaker Fresh water: 300l (150l per hull) Fuel capacity: 125l Engine: Yanmar 3GM30 (coupled to Sonic drive leg) Electricity: 400w solar panels Batteries: 6 Trojan T-105 (in series giving 675amp/h @ 12v) plus a 100Ah AGM starter battery, and 80Ah windlass battery.

In standard trim, Jade weighs in at roughly 3.6 metric tonnes, and while light, she’s not a fast catamaran. The western world was skeptical of multihull boats back in the 60s and 70s, so the Prout brothers, who formerly raced catamarans, set about designing a strong, solid, and most importantly safe cruising catamaran.

The result was the Snowgoose 34. At some point someone must have actually measured one, because they later decided to call it the Snowgoose 35 (since the mould was tad over 34′). Later models had solid GRP hulls with a sandwich core deck, but Jade and those before her are solid GRP throughout. That means there’s little need to worry about rotting balsa core and badly sealed deck hardware, which is alway a bonus on boats.

Back in the 70s she would have been the height of sophistication, and considered truly blue water capable. After all, these boats were built to withstand a pounding sailing around the British Isles. These days with everything getting larger and heavier, she’s considered by some to be a little small for serious offshore duty, but don’t tell that to the many Prout owners that have successfully and comfortable circumnavigated the globe in safety.

Modifications and upgrades

I’ve taken something of a laid back approach with regards to replacements and upgrades for the boat. Instead, choosing to enjoy her for what she is at the moment, and get some miles under my belt before considering refurbishment. By the time I’m ready to winter somewhere (possibly Greece), I’ll have a nice long list of items that need repairing, replacing, and upgrading, as well as idea on decor and other items.

Dometic Masterflush 7210

One item I have changed is the head. The boat came with a standard Jabsco manual toilet. I soon found that having to pump a good 25+ times to properly flush the toilet, was something of a pain. As the waste hose all needed changing anyway, I decided to opt for a Dometic electric fresh water toilet. No more funky smells, blisters, or confused guest.

Dometic CFX50

Refrigeration on boats is always something of a compromise between space, weight, and power consumption. Jade has an excellent Danfoss compressor built into an under counter unit and very well insulated. Unfortunately it stunk. And despite multiple attempts at cleaning it out, I couldn’t find the root of the problem so set about tearing out the whole unit.

This was a bigger job than I initially anticipated, and wanting to get sailing sooner rather than later I opted to seal up the unit, and purchase a Dometic CFX50 portable refrigerator/freezer. At £700, and 20kg, it’s neither light on the wallet or in weight, but it’s probably one of the best portable units on the market.

More to Come

I’ll be working on Jade, throughout the summer, while trying various products and upgrading items as and when necessary. When something worthy of sharing comes along, I’ll update the details and list them here.

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.

Prout Snowgoose 37

I’ve always had a soft spot for Prouts as the first catamaran I sailed on was a Prout Quest 33. The Snowgoose is her more famous sister that evolved from the earlier 35 footer “Damn Kiwi” is a lovely example of one of these boats. Read Alan’s Prout 37 Owner’s Review for a great insight into the pros and cons of this catamaran.

The Prout Snowgoose is not a performance catamaran by any stretch of the imagination,  but she sails well for her length and performs admirably in light air. She can take rough weather very well with her canoe sterns.

Mast Back, Big Genoa Prout were the first proponents of the ‘mast-aft’ rig with a small main, large head sail and all lines & sheets leading back to the cockpit making her very easy to handle alone. You’ll need to leave the cockpit when you put up the spinnaker, but that’s about it. Interestingly, this mast aft trend has become fashionable again with everything from the Gunboat 68 to the Lagoon 46 catamaran using Prout’s old tricks.

• The Prout Snowgoose is a proven ocean crosser – a sturdy, seaworthy and affordable catamaran.
• The sail plan, with the mast set aft, is well set up for single-handed or short-handed sailing.
• She will fit into a standard marina berth – that keeps your running costs down
• If you take the mast off, you can motor down through France on the Canal du Midi.
• They are pretty manoeuvrable in the marina, especially those boats with dual aft engines.
• With flat keels and narrow beam she´s easy to haul or beach – which again saves you maintenance cost.
• Low windage with that profile.
• There is not much headroom in the salon. Once you are sat around the table, it´s fine – very cosy in fact.
• She has canoe sterns which work well dissipating wave energy from behind, but it is not so easy to get on and off the boat.
• Not the fastest catamaran on the water, but you should be able to average 6 knots
• With that covered foredeck and low bridgedeck you will get some slamming in rougher weather
• Most Snowgooses were fitted with a single engine. That makes the boat less manoeuvrable than a dual engine cat.

Head for the Canals Snowgoose was built with mini-keels so you can dry her out in between tides to clean the hulls and her narrow beam means she is able to motor down the French canals to the Med and back again.

The single engine concept is popular with owners. While not as manoeuvrable as twin engines, you can swivel the drive through 30 degrees to get around corners. Some of the later Elite models were fitted with twin engines, I believe only around 5 37s were launched with twin engines but others have had a retro-fit. They are more manoeuvrable and you have the redundancy advantage, but it adds weight to the boat and you will lose some performance.

Watch out for Slamming The bridge deck is pretty low compared to modern cats like a Nautitech 40 Open , and that’s because she has a centre “nacelle” like a Privilege, and yes they do suffer from slamming if you don’t load them properly, but keep the weight off the bow and the aft and she is still a very seaworthy boat, as countless owners who have crossed oceans will tell you.

These aren’t condomarans with oodles of space, and they aren’t racing cats either, but they are very well-built, strong, sea worthy and cosy boats that will deliver you across the oceans without breaking the bank.

An Affordable Ocean Crosser More than 500 boats were built (not as many as the Lagoon 380, but still) and the number that have completed circumnavigations are in the hundreds. If your budget is around 100k and you want to sail around the world, you can do it on a Snowgoose.

The Prout family were building cats in the 1950s- this was a company with a long and rich history in multihulls before they sadly went bust in 2002 following a number of turbulent years.

The Snowgoose looks a bit dumpy and dated by modern catamaran design standards, but don’t let that fool you. She has a solid bridgedeck forward (something that Bali Catamarans have taken on), and while this isn’t as fetching as having nets, it does make for a very sturdy rigid boat with plenty of working and playing space forward.

A Narrower Beam Means Lower Marina Fees The beam is narrow compared to modern designs (the later Elite is wider) and the hulls aft don’t have sugar scoops for swimming platforms. The narrow beam means you pay standard monohull fees at most marinas: yet another saving on the running costs.

The cockpit is, shall we say, cosy, but step on board and you will quickly recognise that she is a solid, safe boat built to weather a storm.

Most Snowgoose 37s were built in the 1980s. A later model, called the Elite, has a wider beam. Both models evolved from the  Snowgoose 35. She has a cutter rig with a single-spreader mast.

Construction

You can’t call the Snowgoose 37 light for her length, with a displacement of more than 5,200 tonnes, but neither is she a block of lead. The hulls with stubby fixed keels are solid fiberglass, (newer models are solid below the waterline and cored above). With the solid bridgedeck she’s very rigid and strong, and the decks are cored with balsa or other materials to keep the weight down.

The newer Elite model went into production around ’86, and it’s around a foot bigger across the beam than the standard Snowgoose, so you get more room down below, but she carries more weight and has a slightly deeper draft.

The single engine has a rotating, retractable sonic drive gear. You may come across Prout 37s with twin engines as well, in particular some of the later Elites. In either configuration, the Snowgoose is very manoeuvrable.

The cockpit is small compared to modern cats but comfy enough with a bulkhead mounted helm that has great visibility. All lines come back to the cockpit. The mainsheet traveler is aft- it’s pretty short compared to newer cats. If the weather turns, the cabin door can be quickly closed to keep it nice and dry in the saloon.

She´s Seaworthy Although the side decks are narrow, there are plenty of handholds like the grab-rail that that you will use going forward. She feels safe, with plenty of lifelines and robust stanchions. The solid bridgedeck has two large forward lockers with plenty of storage space to keep things organised.

The majority of these cats are cutter rigged, with a furled genoa and staysail. The main is generally fully battened.

Easy Anchor Check It’s a cool place to sleep at anchor, and you can easily check your position from your bunk. The saloon has a horseshoe sofa and a big table for socialising. It’s a really cosy space with a few friends around- it’s surprising how many people you can sit around the table. The whole feel is more cosy monohull with headroom about 5 feet, 8 inches. The solid wood finish is high quality – she has a lovely feel about her.

Plenty of Space, especially in the Elite Forward in the starboard hull there is a changing area, storage, bookshelves and lockers. The galley  is in the down position in the centre of the hull, but the port-holes are at eye level, so you can see the horizon while you’re cooking. Although she’s galley down, you’re part of the scene and connected to the saloon with your head peeping out. The fridge and freezer are under the bunk in the aft cabin. This can be a fiddle.

Each cabin aft is a double berth, with a locker, a seat and shelves. These cabins are snug but comfortable.  On the port hull is a nice navigation station with a fold-down seat and traditional chart drawer. You’ll have no problems fitting your instruments and radios with the electrical switches on the forward bulkhead. There’s a single head forward that is pretty spacious.

Open Plan Option The other option is the open plan where the horse-shoe sofa goes all the way forward instead of having the cabin. You can convert the forward part into a decent sized berth.

Under Power

Most Snowgoose 37s you’ll see will have a single engine, normally with 30 or 40 hp of power  (Volvos or Yanmars generally).  The fuel tank holds around 135 litres that feeds the stern drive unit (eg the Sonic Drive by Sillette). This retractable drive turns as you move the helm for greater manoeuvrability. With skegs to protect the rudder, it’s perfectly possible to beach this cat.

Later models were fitted with twin engines (the Elite) and some owners have retrofitted them.

Beating upwind isn’t that much fun, but is it in any cat without daggerboards? She is helped on a close reach by that staysail. It is on this point of sail that you are most likely to experience bridge slam in heavy weather.

A Steady, Safe Mover She’ll be comfortably blown along by the trade winds, however, day in and day out with not much stress involved if you set her up right. 150 miles a day is more than achievable on these boats. OK, granted, you could do more than double that on a Gunboat 68 , but you could have a fleet of 50 Prouts for the same money. Or just buy one Prout and spend the rest in fancy restaurants when you get to Nanny Cay.

She’s well balanced and sails well on auto.

I love the name on the featured boat on the first brochure: Mother Goose. Looking good!

That aft port double cabin looks cosy in the picture 😉

This design might be almost 50 years old, but it has stood the test of time and the Snowgoose 37 remains a popular choice for blue-water cruisers who don’t want to spend the earth on a circumnavigation.  She’s a rock solid ocean crosser with an unmatched track record.

From time to time we feature selected boats that come onto the market. Head to our Prout Snowgoose 37 For Sale page to see the latest listings.

How much should I expect to pay for a decent Prout 37 Snowgoose? Well, you have a whole range of options here. Do you buy a doer-upper? You might get on for €50k or less. How old? Later models, up to 2001 can approach €100k for a decent example. I would budget between €70k and €80k but make sure you leave a decent pot of funds for work. Do a comprehensive survey before you buy.

What´s the difference between a standard Snowgoose and an Elite Snowgoose? Prout started building the Snowgoose Elite in 1986. The Elite is a foot wider than the standard Snowgoose, so there is more space down below but she´s also heavier with 2 inches more draft. The original Snowgoose has outboard rudders, whereas the Elite rudders are smaller and below the waterline. Some of the later Elites were fitted with twin aft engines.

When was the Prout Snowgoose Built? The Prout Snowgoose 37 evolved from the 35 which was launched in 1970. By 1983 the 35 had evolved into the 37 and in 1986 they launched the Prout Snowgoose Elite. You can find Prout Snowgooses launched as late as 2001.

Brand: Prout 37 Snowgoose

The Snowgoose 37 combines ocean sailing capabilities and a legendary safety record with comfort and amenities as a live-aboard. Her proven design employs both traditional Prout innovations and modern construction techniques. The result is excellent performance, responsiveness under sail, spacious accommodations, tremendous load-carrying capacity and ease of handling. Evolved from Prout Snowgoose 35. With over 100 reported circumnavigations completed, you would be hard pressed to find another line with this track record.

The 2′ 10″ draft greatly increases the skipper’s anchoring options when storms approach, and makes her ideal for exploring the shallow waters found on the Gulf Coast, the Florida Keys, or the Bahamas. Her pedigree gives assurance she is able to deliver you safely to your destination whether near or far.

The interior is well executed with abundant storage and counter space. The liberal use of teak creates a warm and elegant atmosphere not seen on many modern day cats. There are two different possible layouts, so please see below for diagram and more details.

The cockpit is roomy yet secure, with excellent visibility from the helm. There is a substantial aft deck behind the cockpit which makes an ideal fishing platform or work area. The solid bridge deck forward offers a large work/lounge area along with additional storage.
