Major improvements done between 2020-2022.
Dragonfly is a spacious, well built bluewater Prout Snowgoose Elite catamaran originally from the UK. We have lived on her since 2020 and have spent the majority of the time doing a big refit. She is upgraded, runs fully on solar and is cruiser ready! When we werent making improvements we sailed her from St Croix, USVI to Florida and then through the Bahamas where her shallow draft took us to gorgeous less traveled waters and amazing beaches! She is turn key ready, set up for a solo sailor but has plenty of room for more. Perfect for a couple or small family and ready for the Bahamas again or further afield. She is a reliable and capable sailboat proving herself with a circumnavigation in the early 2000s. She has 3 berths, one double in the aft starboard pontoon, one double in the aft port pontoon and the largest forward amidship (queen size mattress). Two fridges/freezers (Run off solar, no need for a generator) Two fresh water tanks which hold 150 gallons of fresh water total with inspection hatches. Tanks can be isolated. Salt water foot pump at sink One composting Airhead installed 2021 One direct overboard head, rebuilt 2021
Rebuilt Sillette drive leg New propane system (high quality Trident parts) New bottom job (epoxy barrier coats/anti foul) Replaced 5 seacocks and through hulls with Forespar Marelon and 1 with bronze Groco. LED navigation lights, anchor light, indoor lights (pull almost no power)
This boat is ready to cruise immediately and truly a turnkey vessel. Just bring a bathing suit and head out! We are very safety conscious and experienced cruisers and have made upgrades with this in mind. Delivery is possible to anywhere on the East Coast for a fee and we are willing to train the new owner if you need help learning the ropes!

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Updated version of the SNOWGOOSE 37. More beam and some changes to hull shape.
The SNOWGOOSE 37 (all iterations) was enormously popular with more than 500 built.
