Laying to her mooring, the Prout 45’s sleek rounded hulls, tear-drop shapes astern and contoured bridge promise to handle seas with minimal slapping and jerking.

Boarding stairways molded into each hull usher the cruiser to comfortable cockpit seats and table. Close by are large storage compartments, hefty davits aft and a dedicated compartment for a survival raft, one of the boat’s many notable safety features. Hydraulic steering and dual engine controls are at hand from a comfortable helmsman’s seat secure within the cockpit but with a good view under a nice Bimini.

In light air, the boat performed for us quite well. She’d recently proven herself offshore by crossing the Atlantic and sailing through a roaring northeaster on an East Coast passage. An Aero Rig powered the boat we sailed (see “Straight Aero” Jan. 1997).

The standard marconi rig costs considerably less. Under power with two Volvo 30-horsepower motors and Sail Drives, the boat turned sharply and maneuvered easily while remaining relatively quiet (exhaust is by way of a waterlock muffler) and comfortable, doing a lively eight knots at 2,450 rpms.

You can choose from four cabin arrangements. The Charter model we sailed had extra staterooms and, thus, fewer creature comforts than the Family or Master Stateroom versions, which contain fewer heads but more storage and separate shower stalls. The galley is snug and convenient to the saloon and cockpit. The view is great from the saloon’s wraparound seating, which is served by a large dinette. Forward of the saloon, two large berths, separated from each other by a bulkhead, are accessed from either hull. The bulkhead between them and the saloon opens. Ten deck hatches and 10 opening ports ventilate belowdecks.

Equipment installations are nicely done. Stainless steel ladders from aft-deck hatches lead to the rudder systems, shaft seals, batteries and aft end of the engines, the forward ends of which are also accessible through large hatches under the aft bunks. Plumbing, refrigeration and other systems are generally accessible, and Prout promises to hinge future electrical panels.

The manufacturer’s agents assured us that this boat can carry about two tons of payload after adding a gen set and filling the tanks.

Mud on the ground tackle gave yet another sign that the boat could and had been doing its stuff. The dual-anchor system is well thought out. The primary anchor feeds out from the forward wall of the bridge, keeping its weight and that of the windlass and chain back toward the boat’s center.

The boat is built to Lloyd’s ISO 9002/BS 5750 certification and can be purchased in varying stages of completion. Hand-laid of solid fiberglass up to the waterline, the hulls’ topsides are cored with end-grain balsa. Some critical areas are Kevlar reinforced. Deck coring is relieved in the way of stressed fittings. Diagonal, torsion-control bulkheads are designed to handle the connective structure’s stresses. Four collision bulkheads and integral water tanks in the hulls’ bottoms add to safety. The boat comes with a five-year osmosis guarantee

Zarafet : Prout 45 Owner´s Review

Many thanks to Michael, Monika, Max and their Great Dane Leon for helping us out on this Owner´s review. They give some great insights into this popular blue-water cruising catamaran. All photos featured here are from their blog.

sailing zarafet

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your boat. When did you buy Zarafet? What’s her history? We purchased Zarafet in 2018 from the second owner who had her for nine years and who in turn purchased from the original owners in around 2009 following their circumnavigation

Why did you choose the Prout 45? Price and style as they’re a lot of boat at a reasonable cost plus they have a very efficient usable sail plan that is comfortable for short handed sailing.

When was she launched? 1995.

catamaran prout 45

Are there any areas in particular you would advise buyers to check on a survey? Water ingress through deck fittings rudder tie rods and rudder bearings.

What’s the best thing about her? The more wind the more she seems to like it as she is heavy displacement in catamaran terms.

What would you change if anything? Hard to say as they have a semi custom interior and were fitted to original owner specs so every one is slightly different but we love ours the way she is.

What are the “Must Haves” for the boat? eg electric winch, engine size, folding props, heating, watermaker, inverter, solar, gen set etc…. We have solars so for sure that is needed. Diesel heating which we have used only 2 or 3 times. Engine size: they need the bigger 55hp engines as they are heavy. Our water-maker provides us with independence, so for me it’s a must have. we have folding props which cut down the drag enormously. Also, an inverter to use some of that free solar power.

What are the “Nice to Haves”? More solar and possibly a powered winch for the control lines.

Which features are not worth bothering with? We don’t have a Gen Set and get by ok.

How are the electrics, plumbing etc. I see you have solar and a 3000W invertor.. is that sufficient? I think you can never have too much solar and as long as you don’t take away from the boat’s appearance, load them on.

Is she easy to maintain? Servicing engines, standing rigging etc Engines are very accessible and maintenance tasks are not so difficult, however there are always tight places to squeeze into and a half hour job can become a day’s work but hey, I think all boats are similar as we push things to remote places to maximise space.

Is she easy to sail short-handed? To shorten sail? Easy to reach the boom? Yes she is quite easy to manage. We just reef the main early in anticipation, as for us having to go head to wind can be daunting in big seas. If you are conservative on the main, the rest is easy from the cockpit and the staysail is a fantastic option to have, so in my view a well balanced sail plan.

catamaran prout 45

What’s she like in heavy weather / a blow / big seas She loves it of course providing the sailing angle is not too tight with 55 being the maximum. Even that is squeezing it a tad but from 60 degrees back no worries.

How is the helm position and visibility. The helm is well inboard so its safe dry and comfortable with a good view all round.

How does she sail in light winds? We have a 144 sq meter asymmetric spinnaker which helps and she will move in flat water but if there is any swell forget it: stick on the motors.

How does she sail close hauled? When do you use the stay-sail for example? Close hauled OK, but 55 is a push and 60 is best . When the head sail is reefed by a third you can set the stay sail. As you ease off the wind full head sail and stay sail will work back to 120 off the wind. After that the stay sail blocks the wind from the headsail.

Any problems with bridge deck slamming? In rough seas or breaking waves she will slam. I don’t think any more than other Cats however it’s not a nice sound and you never get used to it.

How about on a reach, heading down wind? Down wind she is in her element. she can carry most her sail area up to 25kts after that you need to start reefing the main.

Typically, what’s your average speed on passage? She can set a comfortable 6 knot average and more off wind in following seas.

What’s she like under power? Speed, manouevrability? Under power we achieve 6 kts at 1300 rpm in flat seas after that you are adjusting for conditions. Any faster just increases the engine noise and burns more fuel with very little extra headway. 2500 will give you a max of 8kts: that’s a lot of RPM for 2 kts and fuel consumption goes through the roof.

Is she easy to dock, what’s the visibility like? Visibility is good and the secret to docking a Cat is keep your hands off the wheel and use the engines only. Being low she does not suffer as much windage as modern Cats.

What is she like at anchor? At anchor she is fine she rides waves and swell well and lies head to the wind nicely.

Is she comfortable down below? Cabins/saloon/galley/heads. I think you have the Family layout, right? Yes the family layout works well. There are plenty of bracing points in the galley so cooking on passage is not usually a problem. The aft cabins are really comfortable with large berths. The salon with the large center table provides a usable interior at sea.

catamaran prout 45

How is the storage space on the boat? There are really 2 answers in that 1. is there ever enough storage ?? 2. Being a Cat she is weight sensitive and the space provided is more than enough to overload her.

Where’s your favourite spot on the boat? Foredeck? Aft cockpit. We have a seat outboard aft which is a great place to sit while she surfs the waves yet you still have a full view of what’s going on.

How is the finish of the interior? Does she creak under sail? Even after 25 years no creaks and as solid as solid as the proverbial brick sh!t house

Is she good for hosting guests? That bar looks good! 😉 We have had a maximum of 4 adults and 3 children comfortably – any more and you would all need to be best friends and possibly not any more after, but our version is more space less berths. Dinner parties we have catered for 8 comfortably and drinks 12 people but that was a squeeze.

What kind of modifications have you done and why? We put a hardtop on as it improved the water proof integrity of the cockpit area and provided a platform for solars on the roof while also improving access to the mainsail and boom. It took 2 attempts to get it right but we are happy we did.

Any plans for further modifications? On an older boat its always the question “does this add or detract value? Is it worth to do so really at this point?” We feel she works well for us and we are comfortable with her current layout.

catamaran prout 45

If you were to swap her for another boat, what would that be? Or maybe you wouldn’t swap her? Of course we dream of soemthing newer, bigger & faster but when all is said and done we like what we have. We are not afraid to use her and enjoy her: she is comfortable and safe. We can say 100%, we are happy with our boat.

How is the Prout Owner´s community? The community is active and helpful with even former factory workers providing help and assistance. It is a great source of information and with so many refits and rebuilds, most problems have been met and overcome.

Anything else you would add to help people thinking of buying a Prout 45? In my opinion they are a lot of boat for their current market price. Yes some are better than others so choose wisely. Every boat is a compromise, but a Prout 45 can tick a lot of boxes.

S/V Mirounga is a Grenada Islands based 1997 Prout 45 Catamaran for sale by owner. Mirounga is the ultimate liveaboard cruising machine. She is solid fiberglass under the waterline, cored above the waterline, with Kevlar reinforcement. The original Prout Catamarans are renowned for their safety, load-carrying capabilities, reliability, ease of handling and comfort, and were designed for long-term live-aboard cruising and ocean passages.

Mirounga was owned by her original owner until 2021. Shed been well taken care of and was ready to go the second owners (2021-2022) made a few improvements along the way to make her even better. They lived aboard very comfortably for a little over a year before returning back to land-life.

General Descriptions

Strength, essential in a catamaran design, is achieved by the one-piece hull and deck moldings bonded together with the bulkhead locations at strategic positions forming deep box sections, thus producing a monocoque shell system

  • The hull is molded using the latest molding techniques to minimize the risk of osmosis.
  • Gelcoat is of the isophthalic type. The first layers of glass are powder bound hand-laid with isophthalic resins using the Scott Bader System which is guaranteed for five years against osmosis. Incorporated in the lay-up are biaxial fibers.
  • High-stress areas are reinforced. The hull is of sandwich construction using end grain balsa above the waterline.
  • The deck molding uses top-quality Lloyds approved materials and incorporates end grain balsa sandwich to give strength where required and is also reinforced at high-stress areas and where through-deck fittings are sited.
  • Shroud plate areas are extensively reinforced. Incorporated in the deck lay-up are the latest biaxial materials for strength and weight saving.
  • Forward deck areas use trampoline nets.
  • All main bulkheads are substantially bonded to the hull and the deck with woven rovings. The bulkheads are located at strategic points to give compressional and torsional strength where required. Some are of composite construction, vacuum-bagged for effective weight saving.
  • Mast Support System – Mast loads are transmitted via an advanced HE30 aluminum space frame support system integrated with the rigging.
  • Interior – All interior furniture units are designed to complete a honeycomb type structure. All pieces are bonded into the hull and deck assembly in order to serve the dual purpose of function and strength.
  • Buoyancy – There are built-in buoyancy compartments both forward and aft in each hull and the water tanks form a double bottom system in the vessel ensuring buoyancy should she be holed.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Prout 45 Review

26th nov 2015 by samantha wilson.

Rightboat logo

The Prout 45 is a direct descendant of the original Prout designs that pioneered the cruising catamaran. The boat balances luxurious accommodation for longer voyages with outstanding performance and simple short-handed cruising ability. The latest Prout model, now being manufactured in China, the Prout 45s, has a sumptuous and customisable interior offered with different layouts that shared the same main cabin on the upper level, but featured variations such as four staterooms and two heads, or three staterooms and three heads. Buying a second-hand Prout 45 is a sound choice – the award-winning structure ensures peace of mind.

Who and what was this boat designed for?

The Prout 45 is an ocean-cruising catamaran designed to be easily handled by a short-handed crew. The aft stepped mast ensures simple operation of the sail area with the minimum of effort. The boat’s shallow draft makes it equally capable of slipping into a shallow lagoon or settling on a beach.

What commentators say about this boat?

The name Prout is almost synonymous with cruising catamarans.

The first Prout 45 Ocean Ranger was a ground-breaking design, superbly sea-worthy and fast, winning races such as the Crystal Trophy in 1968.

She was one of the very first large glass fibre catamarans built and laid the foundations for the Prout range of 45 and 50 catamarans which proved so successful over the following 30 years.

The focal point of this design is the deck. For entertaining in sunny weather this design has a huge amount of what the Prout people call ‘Beach Deck’. In most harbour gatherings, the Prout 45 would be the designated ‘party boat’.

Model variations

Because the original British firm ceased trading we have found it difficult to get historical information on the Prout 45. We know that the first Prout 45 Ocean Ranger was built in 1965. However we cannot find further data on the model variations. If you know, please get in touch as we'd love to be able to show the full Prout 45 history.

Specifications

  • Length overall: 45ft 0in (13.7m)
  • Beam overall: 20ft 10in (6.4m)
  • Draft: 3ft 5in (1.04m)
  • Displacement: 10.72 tons (9,730 kgs)
  • Mast above water: 60 ft 6in (18.44 m)
  • Mainsail area: 360 sq ft (23.46 sq m)
  • Genoa area: 582 sq ft (54.09 sq m)
  • Staysail area: 115 sq ft (10.69 sq m)
  • Spinnaker area: 1700 sq ft (158 sq m)
  • Fuel capacity: 85 gallons/102 US gallons (322 litres)
  • Water capacity: 160 gallons/192 US gallons (606 litres)
  • Engines: 2 x 30-hp Volvo Penta

What’s great about the Prout 45?

  • Hull structure integrity – 4500 Prouts with no recorded hull failures.
  • Designed for short-handed cruising with all sail controls led to the cockpit.
  • Excellent all-round visibility from the cockpit.
  • Design features to reduce pitching, improve windward performance and eliminate twists between the hulls.
  • Good access to rudder systems, shaft seals, batteries, engines, plumbing, refrigeration, and other systems.
  • Spacious accommodation, with a choice of four layouts.

What to look out for on a pre-owned Prout 45?

Prout engineers report few problems with this boat. If you have owned a Prout 45 and would like to share things to watch out for and potential faults that might occur on this boat from time to time, please get in touch.

Keeping your Prout 45 in shape

When buying a used Prout 45, regular scheduled servicing and attention to some minor points will keep your craft in top condition.

Regular servicing

Carry out regular engine and drive servicing in line with the manufacturer’s recommended intervals.

Maintenance

Check the hull for possible impact damage or starring. Repair using a gel coat and acrylic paint to prevent the risk of osmosis.

We don't currently have any specific information on laying up the Prout 45.

If you have ever owned or worked on a Prout 45 and would like to share your thoughts, then get in touch and we'll add your information to the page.

Model-specific repairs

The Prout 45 is known/not known for needing specific repairs more frequently than other boats.

Why buy a pre-owned Prout 45?

A second-hand Prout 45 is a boat that should be on your list if you’re looking for an ocean-going cruising catamaran that offers good sea-keeping, reliability, and comfort.
