The Prout Quest 31 stands as a seminal example of the "pocket cruiser" catamaran, designed to provide the stability and living volume of a multihull within a manageable 31foot footprint. Launched in the late 1970s and produced into the early 1980s, the Quest 31 was the successor to the earlier Ranger series and served as the direct precursor to the Quest 33 and 33CS. Built by G. Prout & Sons at their Canvey Island facility, the vessel epitomizes the "low aspect" design philosophy that defined the British multihull scene for decades. Unlike contemporary French catamarans that prioritize highclearance bridge decks and trampoline bows, the Quest 31 features a solid GRP bridge deck extending to the bows, a design choice intended to maximize internal space and provide a safe, secure working platform for the crew.
