About the ESCALE 39 (PROUT)
Designed by Feltham/Underwood/Prout and built by Prout Catamarans (UK), the Escale 39 is a robust cruising catamaran with a production run of 100 hulls constructed between 1991 and 1995. This model is characterized by its cutter rig and substantial displacement of 13779.0 lb, reflecting a design philosophy focused on stability and offshore capability.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over high-speed planing, particularly those seeking a proven bluewater platform with a cutter rig for versatile sail handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 13779.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 3.07, the Escale 39 is well-regarded for offshore passage-making, offering excellent stability and comfort in heavy weather despite its moderate comfort ratio of 12.43.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Prout models like the Escale 33 and 43, as well as contemporary heavy-displacement catamarans such as the Lagoon 380 or Fountaine-Pajot Aventura, though the Escale distinguishes itself with a heavier build and cutter rig configuration.
