HI all,
stumbled on this http://www.speurders.nl/o…n-167360328.html?sr_ab=0
Its on a Dutch secondhand site and 2 steps away from my front door.
( 20min drive)
Some investigation on the web made almost clear its a "Swift" .
http://sailboatdata.com/v…record.asp?class_id=7178
I am a bit reluctant to pick it up, cause its a project for sure.
On top of that my old P18-2 is up for grabs ( €200 )
Anyway, just wanted to share this classic with you.
Grtz, André

That hull actually looks familiar, can't put my finger on what i'm thinking of. It's listed as a Prout, I know they made a lot of small cruising catamarans.
According to Google translate the seller is saying it's an "Afternoon of work" to get this ready to sail, is this translation correct?

Prout is known for its small cabincats, if you look at the pics in the ad,
there are "anti-spray devices" on the inside at the front, also there's a
frontbeam on the bows.
If you look at the pics on sailboatdata,
http://sailboatdata.com/v…record.asp?class_id=7178
There are exact the same devices on those pics, also the measurements
are roughly the same so it is almost certain a Prout Swift.
As for the "afternoon of work" , thats the correct translation but I doubt
it can be fixed in that time-span..

Its definitely a Prout.
Considering the measurements and "anti-spray device".
Btw, I did put in a offer...
