Prout Snowgoose 37

Prout Snowgoose 37 is a 37 ′ 0 ″ / 11.3 m catamaran sailboat designed by Prout and built by Prout & Sons starting in 1983.

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)

Early hulls, which include molded stub keels, are solid fiberglass, while more recent versions are solid below the waterline and cored above. A later version became the SNOWGOOSE ELITE (1986) had 1 foot more beam. The SNOWGOOSE 37 (all iterations) was enormously popular with more than 500 built.

Prout Snowgoose 37 Elite 37ft

PROUT SNOWGOOSE 37 ELITE

This classic and elegant Prout Snowgoose 37 Elite from 1988 is still under care of her first owner. Never chartered, she has always been maintained with love and expertise. After her Atlantic crossing in December 1991 and more than 25 trustworthy sailing years in the Caribbean, shes waiting for a second life.

Her Dutch owner spared no expenses in the maintenance of this comfortable and family friendly cruiser. Shes therefore still in excellent condition considering her advanced age. Fully equipped with navigation station, radar, GPS, generator and more, her diesel engine was replaced in 2015 by a new Yanmar engine 3YGM (with only 500 hours of run time!). Of course, she will need some limited maintenance, painting here and there and some work on her interior.

The Snoowgoose 37 Elite was the flagship of PROUT Catamarans, the renown quality brand from England, which dominated the cruising catamaran market in the seventies and eighties. Although not as flashy as modern cats, Prout catamarans were built to safely, reliably and comfortably sail oceans. Known for their rugged construction and sea-kindliness.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Prout Snowgoose 37

First impressions The Snowgoose 37 doesn't look like a world cruiser. Compared to many of today's cruising catamarans, which I confess, strike me as looking a bit bulbous, as if over-inflated, the Snowgoose seems a bit outdated and rather pedestrian. The solid bridgedeck forward is not as sexy as a trampoline and the 15-foot, 3-inch beam makes the boat downright skinny. The double-ended hulls don't offer stern scoops and easy access swim steps. The cockpit is, at least by catamaran standards, rather compact. However, as soon as you step aboard the Snowgoose 37 you realize that it's a solid, serious boat. It has a bearing in the water that most monohull sailors would recognize. The wide, dark stripe that encapsulates the ports around the cabintrunk distinguishes the boat as a Prout. The hulls, which were among the first cats to have rounded bilges, show a slight reverse sheer. The Snowgoose 37, which saw the bulk of its production in the 1980s, and its later evolution, the Snowgoose Elite, both trace their lineage to the legendary Snowgoose 35, one of the most successful production catamarans. A relatively low-aspect cutter rig makes for a working sail area of 570 square feet. The single-spreader mast has an air draft of less than 50 feet.

Construction The Snowgoose 37 is not, by any means, a lightweight. The displacement of more than 5,600 pounds is heavier than some modern monohulls of a similar length. The early hulls, which include molded stub keels, are solid fiberglass, while new models are solid below the waterline and cored from the waterline north. As mentioned earlier, the bridgedeck is solid, and although this adds weight it also provides rigidity between the hulls that a single crossbar can't match. The bridgedeck clearance is not as high as more modern designs and this will result in plenty of water action between the hulls. The deck on the older boats is balsa cored, while some newer boats have been cored with other materials. When you drop below and see the generous use of teak you quickly realize that saving weight was not the prime construction concern. 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. I recently inspected a 1994 Snowgoose Elite that had just returned from a two-year Caribbean cruise and double Atlantic crossing. There were no signs of deck delamination, gelcoat crazing or leaks. Marine surveyor and Snowgoose owner Jack Allinson notes that his 20-year-old boat shows only minor gelcoat crazing and is structurally sound. "I hope to sail it for another 20 years," he said.

What to look for The first thing to look for is the right Snowgoose 37. Although it is hard to find information pinning down exact hull numbers, somewhere around 1986 the updated Elite model went into production. The primary difference is that the Elite is 12 inches wider than the standard Snowgoose, and as a result is slightly roomier down below but also a tad heavier and two inches deeper in draft. Of course, with a draft that's still less than three feet it isn't really much of an issue and the extra interior volume is worth the two inches. The hull shape of the Elite is slightly different. Unlike the standard Snowgoose which has two transom-hung outboard rudders, the Elite rudders are slightly smaller and located below the waterline. Most Snowgoose 37s have single engines with a rotating, retractable sonic drive gear. While this gear is efficient-John Sykes claims it comes close to matching the performance of twin screws-it is not perfect and can be expensive to repair. Be sure to have it carefully inspected by a mechanic who actually knows something about it. Also, pay close attention to the wiring; most boats have had owner-installed electronic additions over the years and the original wiring was not the boat's best feature. In fact, an interesting aspect of the Snowgoose 37s on the market is that most boats have been retrofitted for offshore cruising-sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes it isn't. The discount offered by a boat with a limited inventory may not only save you money but save you a lot of aggravation too. Instead of dealing with worn-out equipment you can start fresh. Naturally, all age-related issues, especially if the boat has been cruised extensively, should be carefully inspected. Standing and running rigging and the condition of the steering systems are particular items to check.

On deck The cockpit is quite comfortable but small when compared to more modern cruising cat designs. If you're heading offshore, that's not a negative. The bulkhead-mounted wheel is to starboard and because of the relatively low profile visibility is good from the helm, even with a full bimini and dodger enclosure. That is not always the case with smaller cruising cats. One well-known model requires that you peer through the cabin ports to see forward from the helm. All sail controls are led to the cockpit and there is a clever stainless steel fairlead and a vertically-mounted winch to facilitate hoisting the sails. There is a large storage locker under the cockpit sole and access to the engine. One advantage of a single engine is the ability to center the weight on the bridgedeck instead of placing hundreds of pounds of metal in the end of each hull, which is exactly where you don't want it. The mainsheet traveler is aft, and although there is plenty of travel, it's not as long as most newer cat travelers. There is, however, a useful aft deck behind the traveler. The main companionway includes a thick, bi-fold Plexiglas door that can be closed quickly in ugly weather. The side decks are narrow. Fortunately there is a stout stainless grabrail that is at just the right height as you make your way forward. The double lifelines and stanchions are tall, oversized and extremely well supported. Also, there is a lifeline across the bow, a nice safety feature. Overall the deck fittings are robust. The double anchor rollers are designed to host serious ground tackle. The solid bridgedeck allows for two large forward lockers, which gobble up fenders, lines, jerrycans and the like and keep the deck clean. The anodized aluminum spar is deck stepped. Most boats are cutter rigged, and most have both the genoa and staysail roller furled. The main will likely have a decent- sized roach and be fully battened.

Down below The Snowgoose 37 and the Elite came with two interior plans. The family layout includes a full queen berth forward and two spacious double cabins aft. The forward cabin is open to the saloon, with keeps it airy but limits privacy. However, this is an ideal place to sleep at anchor, you can simply raise your head and peer out the forward portlights to make sure you haven't dragged. The saloon includes wraparound settees and a large table. The Snowgoose 37 is not as bright below as some cats and the headroom in the saloon is around 5 feet, 8 inches. However, the use of teak and quality joinerwork lends a feeling of elegance that is rare on a cat. Forward in the starboard hull there is a changing station, locker storage, a full-length bookshelf and two hanging lockers for the queen cabin. The galley takes up the center of the hull. Although the hulls are relatively narrow, the galley is more than adequate with a unique three-sink basin and a three-burner stove and oven. It is a very secure area to cook, especially because cats don't heel much. And while some prefer a "galley up," meaning in the saloon, the Snowgoose 37 arrangement is an excellent compromise. Although it's technically a "galley down," the partial saloon bulkhead is low, allowing the cook to be part of the social scene and still out of the way. The refrigerator and freezer are located under the bunk in the aft cabin, which I am sure at times is inconvenient. Each aft cabin includes a double berth, a hanging locker, a seat and vanity and deep shelves forward of the bunk. These cabins don't have a lot of elbow room, especially when compared to more modern designs. The port hull houses a roomy navigation station with a clever folddown seat and a real chart drawer. There is plenty of room for instruments and radios and the electrical panel is located on the forward bulkhead. The head is all the way forward and it's quite large. A single head is sensible, and is one of the primary reasons why the interior plan works well. The open plan is identical to the family plan except that the settees in the saloon continue all the way forward, eliminating the third cabin. They do, however, convert into a nice sized berth.

Engine The vast majority of Snowgoose 37s were manufactured with a single engine. Typically this has been two-, three- or four-cylinder diesel ranging between 30 and 40 horsepower. Common engines are the Volvo MD series and three-cylinder Yanmars. Regardless of what engine is used, access is excellent through hatches in the cockpit and aft deck. The 35-gallon fuel tank is also located under the cockpit. The most unique feature of the engine is the stern drive unit. Most boats have the Sonic Drive by Sillette. This stern drive is, to use the English word, "steerable" meaning that it turns as you turn the wheel and offers good steering control in both forward and reverse. It is also retractable, which along with the small skegs protecting the rudder make it possible to beach the Snowgoose 37.

Under way Allinson, who has sailed his 1984 hull No. 216 Snowgoose, Own N Sun II, from the East Coast to the islands, notes that his boat manages 6 to 7 knots in most conditions. It's not fast but it is consistent, and it doesn't need to be micromanaged, making it an ideal passagemaker. Allinson says that unlike modern cats that rely on a huge, roachy mainsail, the Snowgoose goes best when the big genoa is drawing. He also notes that punching the boat upwind in choppy conditions is challenging and that there is a lot of water action below the bridgedeck. Allison, who often singlehands, appreciates the ease of handling three smaller sails from the cockpit instead of dealing with a large mainsail. One of the Snowgoose owners in the Azores told me that during two Atlantic crossings he has averaged 150 miles per day, and he was quick to add that he doesn't push the boat. The Snowgoose 37, with its flexible cutter rig, balances easily and handles well under autopilot.

Conclusion The Snowgoose 37 is a solid, capable world cruiser with a proven track record. It may not be as flashy as newer-designed cruising cats, but when the ocean is in an unpleasant mood the last thing on your mind is flashiness.

FEIG ELECTRONIC: Moscow-City Skyscrapers Streamline Parking Access and Control with Secure RFID

Feig electronic partners with isbc group to deploy ucode dna rfid security and parking access control solution in moscow business district.

Weilburg, Germany  — December 3,  2019  —  FEIG ELECTRONIC , a leading global supplier of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and antennas with fifty years of industry experience, announces deployment of the UCODE DNA RFID security and parking contactless identification solution in the Moscow International Business Center, known as Moscow-City, one of the world’s largest business district projects.

The management of Moscow-City not only selected long-range, passive UHF RFID to implement in its controlled parking areas, it also chose to implement UCODE DNA , the highest form of secure RAIN RFID technology, developed by NXP Semiconductors.

“Underscoring NXP’s innovation and leadership in developing advanced RAIN RFID technologies, our UCODE DNA was chosen to be incorporated with the FEIG and ISBC implementation of the contactless identification system in the prestigious Moscow-City,” said Mahdi Mekic, marketing director for RAIN RFID with NXP Semiconductors. “This exciting project represents yet another successful deployment of NXP’s contactless portfolio, and showcases our continued ability to meet the high-security requirements of highly demanding applications without compromising user convenience.”

“UCODE DNA is considered the only identification technology to match the physical protection of a barrier with the cybersecurity necessary to truly protect entrances from unauthorized access,” said Manuel Haertlé, senior product manager for FEIG Electronic. “As a respected contactless payment technology company, FEIG applies security know-how from its payment terminals, which are fully certified according to the latest high-class security standards, into our RFID systems. FEIG vehicle access control RFID readers incorporate advanced secure key storage elements, supporting various methods for secure key injection.”

FEIG’s partner ISBC Group provided the knowledge and support for this successful implementation using  FEIG’s long-range UHF RFID . The resulting system enables authorized vehicle entry into areas reserved for private residential use or corporate tenants, while also allowing availability of temporary, fee-based visitor parking. Thanks to the cryptographic authentication of UCODE DNA, both the tag and reader must go through an authentication procedure before the reader will validate the data from the tag, which is transmitted wirelessly. This level of authentication is typically used in the most secure data communication networks.

“The system’s two-step authentication means that only authorized equipment can handle the secure protocol and the data exchange with the UCODE DNA based tag. Without the required cryptographic secrets, other readers would query the tag in vain, because the tag’s response cannot be interpreted or understood,” said Andrey Krasovskiy, director of the RFID department at ISBC Group. “On top of this, each data exchange in the authentication process is unique, so even if a malicious actor were to intercept the communication, the transmission is only good for a single exchange and the tag’s unique identity is protected from cloning.”

Established in 1992 and still growing, Moscow-City is the revitalization and transformation of an industrial riverfront into a new, modern, vibrant and upscale business and residential district. A mix of residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment facilities, it is located about four kilometers west of Red Square along the Moscow River. Twelve of the twenty-three planned facilities have already been completed, with seven currently under construction. Six skyscrapers in Moscow-City reach a height of at least 300 meters, including Europe’s tallest building, Federation Tower, which rises more than 100 stories.

Partnering with ISBC and deploying FEIG Electronic RFID solutions, the Moscow International Business Center is delivering security and access control to its city center today, as it grows into the city of tomorrow.
