About the MOODY EXCEL 34
A relatively rare model built by Prout & Sons.
The Moody Excel 34 is a distinctive catamaran designed by Bill Dixon and built by Prout Catamarans between 1999 and 2001. With a displacement of 13480.0 lb and a beam of 11.42 ft, it offers a stable platform for coastal cruising, though the exact number of hulls built remains unspecified in available records.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for short to medium passages, particularly owners who value the specific handling characteristics of a Prout-built catamaran.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.92 and a comfort ratio of 26.62, the Excel 34 is generally considered suitable for coastal and protected offshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions, reflecting its moderate displacement and hull form.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Prout Catamarans from the late 1990s and early 2000s, as well as similarly sized performance catamarans like the Lagoon 34 or Fountaine-Pajot models, which share similar beam and displacement characteristics for coastal use.
