Hi.

I am new here, so I hope, it's ok to post this in this forum otherwise, maybe somebody can tell where else, I can post it.

We are looking for a Prout Quasar 50 preferable in Europe, as we live in Denmark.
It's ok, if it need a bit of tlc.

That is the link, just click on it..

If I'm not wrong, then we have seen that Quasar and we were just about to go to Greece to see her when the owner sent photos of her and told us, that she had been ruined in a storm they had. Amongst other things, one keel was totaly broken in to pieces.

There is a semi abandoned, but afloat Quassar in Alvor Portugal. Not sure how you find out about it and whether it is for sale.


Was just passing through so no other info apart from seeing it there a while ago.

Hi.
Thanks for the info. 😊
Do you remember how long ago that was?

[Tupaia]

It's been a while but it is still showing in latest Google Earth
37° 7'43.25"N
8°35'56.94"W

Was on hard or in the water? I can't get the coordinates to work on my phone. 🙁

The Portuguese one has been rebuilt as a very different boat - you can see it n the Prout facebook group but not for sale and now twice as high (with a flybridge helm) and very heavy - horses for courses but not my cup of tea and definitely won't sail like the Quasar should

[KPMWilliams]

Quasar's shouldn't have flybridge. That is just wrong. In my opinion.

The one in Alvor still shows up on Webcam https://beachcam.meo.pt/livecams/alvor/ no flybridge.

Hi.
I have looked at the cam now. Can you please screenshot and pin point, which boat you think it is?
