About the EVENT 34 (PROUT)
The Prout Event 34 is a distinctive 34.0 ft masthead sloop designed and built by Prout, with production records indicating a build year of 1993. This lightweight vessel, weighing 8818.0 lb with a beam of 15.67 ft, is characterized by its unique twin or triple keel configuration and a comfort ratio of 11.13.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and shorthanded sailors who prioritize easy handling and shallow draft access over heavy offshore displacement. Its low max draft of 2.72 ft and high SA/D ratio of 21.02 make it ideal for exploring protected waters and marinas with limited depth.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.04 and a D/L ratio of 142.22, the Event 34 is generally considered a coastal cruiser rather than a heavy bluewater passagemaker, though its multihull keel design offers inherent stability and righting moment.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Prout models like the Event 30 or Event 37, which share the same designer's philosophy of lightweight, easily handled multikeel designs. It also compares to other 1990s multikeel cruisers such as the Oyster 36 or certain Beneteau models with shoal-draft options, though the Event 34 is notably lighter.
