Prout Catamaran Survey in Preveza

I had a good flight from Samos to Preveza via Athens. I set off at 730am and was here mid afternoon. I have three inspections to carry out over the next five days. This Prout built 39 foot Catamaran, an Escale model from 1993 being my first. 

A number of different layouts are available. This vessel has two heads, one in each hull, and three double-berths, each 15 feet away from the others, which provides privacy. The athwartships double-berths aft are excellent sea berths. One hull is for the owner and the other for crew and friends. A large galley with triple-sink unit and a nav-station with full-size Admiralty chart table, helps to keep both crew and skipper happy!

The shallow draft (3 feet 3 inches) allows you to cruise areas where most vessels cannot venture.

The Prout 39 is built for blue water cruising and passage-making. Although the price per foot is more than a monohull, the p catamaran design, introduced in 1991, is descended from a long pedigree of ocean cruising designs from Prout, such as the Quest 31 and 33, Event 34, Snowgoose 35 and 37, and the Ocean Ranger 45.

Three Marine Surveys in the Ionian Islands

I think the late 'winter nights' on-board 'Christina' marketing the new website  www.yachtsurveysgreece.com has paid off, as some interesting jobs are coming in from all corners of the Greek Islands. Next Wednesday im flying off to Preveza and Messolonghi for five days to Survey a 2006 Bavaria 42, a Prout Catamaran and a 1985 Mainship Nantucket 40. An interesting group of boats. The Prout Cats are a well-known build. The Prout family began building cats in the 1950s, and their boats have been well known and respected in the United Kingdom and Europe for half a century.

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. The bridgedeck is solid, and although this adds weight it also provides rigidity between the hulls that a single crossbar can't match. The deck on the older boats is balsa cored, while some newer boats have been cored with other materials.Over the next two weeks i have one older and one newer model to survey. The one in the picture is the Elite model with the cored hull.

A Damage Survey is usually commissioned by a specific insurance company as part of a claim investigation. Its function is to establish the extent of the damage and to give an estimate of the cost of repair. In such circumstances, the Surveyor acts as the Underwriter's eyes and ears. The Surveyor works in liaison with the insured, the repair facility and all the relevant participants.
