1996 Prout Escale 39

S/V Barracuda 3 is a Spain based 1996 Prout Escale Catamaran for sale by owner. This Prout Escale is a sturdy, comfortable and very well equipped cruising catamaran which is well suited for worldwide cruising or coastal waters. She is very well maintained and goes to windward almost as well as any cruising monohull, tacking through 90 to 95 degrees.

This boat features double watch berth forward of the saloon, Double cabins in each stern One Forecabin with single berth, 2x heads with WC, basin and Shower. Her Galley is in the Starboard hull with a Nav station in the Port Hull.

Barracuda 3 was one of the last Prout Catamarans to be built in the Canvey Island Yard in the UK. She is built for blue water cruising and is easily sailed by a couple as all sails can be handled without leaving the cockpit. She is a pretty boat and has been the subject of much comment here in Spain. When we were looking for a Prout she was the one we wanted as she has wooden galley and chart table areas rather than the plastic ones and a square shaped saloon (reupholstered September 2018) not the more usual horseshoe. AccommodationProuts are famous for their Spacious cockpit which seats 6 people comfortably. Also there is a large cockpit with access to fuel tanks, a storage locker, battery locker and bilge pumps.

There is a head forward in port hull with electric flush toilet with 100 litre holding tank, shower, sink, two cupboards, access to toilet seacocks, door to forward storage area and holding tank. Another head is Ensuite to rear berth with sink, shower cupboards and sea toilet.

She had a full out of water survey in September 2015 and no serious issues were found. The Owner has replaced the saloon windows with custom made windows, bonded in place without bolts. Over the past three years these have been thoroughly tested in breaking seas and heavy thunderstorms, Barracuda has stayed dry throughout. An example of the meticulous maintenance performed on this boat. All recommendations except the installation of electric bilge pumps have been carried out.

Like many Prouts she has in the past suffered from leaking windows, however in January 2016 these were replaced with custom made windows bonded in without bolts. Over the past three years these have been thoroughly tested in breaking seas and heavy thunderstorms, Barracuda has stayed dry in these bad conditions. She had a full out of water survey in September 2015 and no serious issues were found. All the recommendations have been carried out with the exception of the installation of electric bilge pumps. An example of the meticulous maintenance performed on this boat.

She has been lightly used from new with only 8713NM on the log. She has been well maintained, the engines have been regularly serviced since we purchased her, they start easily and run sweetly.

She comes fully equipped and ready to provide her new owners with adventures. All in all we will be very sorry to say goodbye to her. Specifications Builder: G.
