PRINDLE Catamarans

A Prindle is a high performance, long lasting catamaran that will retain its value over the years. The owner benefits with boats that provide years of safe, fun, and exciting catamaran sailing.

Prindle catamarans are made with proven manufacturing technology, top grade materials, and the finest marine grade equipment. Special features on board Prindle Catamarans provide high performance and low maintenance.

High-tech symmetrical hulls on the Prindle 19 and 18-2 models feature foam sandwich, vacuum bagged, split molded construction. All internal seams are hand laminated with multiple bulkheads and subdecks, to keep hulls stiff for years of hard sailing. Non-skid decks top off the hull design with access hatches for gear and food storage. The Prindle 16 and Escape take advantage of deck cap construction coupled with assymetrical hull designs for simple, inexpensive and fun recreational sailing. All Prindles come with a standard five-year limited warranty.

All Prindles are beachable catamarans with rudders that kick-up when hitting the beach or underwater obstacles. Rudders can be locked in the down position with highly tunable rudder rake capability. Gasketless centerboards on the Prindle 19 and 18-2 models are also beachable and provide efficient upwind performance and fast tacking ability. Crossbeams on all Prindle models are attached directly to hulls to provide a more tension resistant catamaran. Prindle crossbeams are attached in deck recesses for extra strength through better load dispersal.

Mesh trampolines made from ultraviolet resistant polypropylene and allow for easy water drainage and wind passage for comfortable sailing. Prindle 19s and 18-2s come standard with racing sails including a Mylar mainsail and a vertical cut Dacron jib. Prindle sails are manufacturered with proven quality and comply with strict one-design rules. Harken hardware is featured throughout Prindle catamarans, including the mainsheet, jibsheet and main downhaul systems.
