Re: Prout Snowgoose 37 comments

Foam inside is a later addition then. My 74’ Snowgoose has hollow rudders. One rudder had a surface crack and I opened it up as a safety precaution. No water or foam inside, just air.

Re: Hydraulic Steering for Cats

Changed the steering on my Snowgoose 34 to hydraulic last fall and did the Captain Ron test on it. That test is; if anything is going to happen it’s out there in the ocean. Made a new pivot arm and...

Re: Single handed catching a mooring in rough seas

Lots of methods. I drift down on ball midship and follow the ball as it bumps along the boat fwd to snag the pendant. 70 yrs around the sun for me so far

Re: Repairs to "new to me" Seaward 25

At the risk of your wife’s disdain I will defend you in the area of sailboat repairs. Cool trick and not an obvious one.

Re: Compac 23 & 27

Re: Electric motors on a Woods Flica 34' sailing catamaran

Re: Marathon to Florida west coast

Anchoring off the dome houses at Cape Romano or in the channel off the Park beach has worked for me. Leave in the dark on N side of the bridge and you’ll get there at dusk.

Re: OH NO! Myakka RR Bridge

Hi. If its fuel you are concerned about, in Marathon, Pancho’s is open. Go under bridge and head to Boot Key Harbor. If u go inside for beer or ice cream you’ll need a mask.

Re: Is a Maxwell RC8612V sufficient

RC88 with 1/4” chain and 5/8 8 plait rope on my 34’ sailboat. Mantus 45 pds. No problem with power, just at the splice. Usually jams and I need hands on to fix. When I go up to 5/16” chain I’m...

Re: Snowgoose 37 rudders

Put your detective hat on. There’s a few possibilities. While there is no shaft the short rods at each end of the rudder could be fitting into rounded out holes in the top plate or bottom support....

Re: Prout Snowgoose 35 opinions

Thats a great trip you have planned. If you can use one cabin for gear storage then I'd say it could be comfortable for your family. It's an easy forgiving boat for one person to handle. Little...

Re: Small Catamarans

Just another 5 cents to Mr B and comments to his post. As a small cat sailor (used to be normal size now small) when single handing you tend to be cautious and under canvased. Comfort and ease of...

Re: anti cavity plate or wings on outboard,,,

Hi-I'm interested in this too. The other option is an shaft extender for an additional 4" of depth and costs about $400. In rough steep waves my long shaft 25 hp Yamaha looses grip. I suppose...

Re: Fort Pierce - IRMA

As always it depends on if the storm is E or W and N or S of Ft P. Having seen what happens at fixed docks during hurricanes I would move my boat if predicted storm track was bad.

Re: Prout 33' or 34' information from owners

On the self steering vane not sure that would work on a Snowgoose. I'd be interested in an answer. I use a Raymarine, their wheel mounted. Works great, even with the wind and waves hitting the aft...

Re: Prout 33' or 34' information from owners

Hi-in regards to sailing performance, my Snowgoose 34 is similar I'd say to a cruising mono in average conditions. When the wind picks up probably faster, since I've sailed at 10 knots crossing the...
