Lovely example of a classic Prout Catamaran. Privately owned and never chartered, this catamaran is a three cabin owners’ version. The owners’ suite is to starboard.
The 45S Prout incorporates heavy duty Keels on each hull that protects the boat from groundings, protects the propellers and rudders, and, allows the boat to

Construction
Prout 45s are sturdy boats. They were moulded with a lay-up consisting of: Isophthalic Gelcoat 2 x 300 g powder-bound mat, (hand laid up with Isophthalic resin) 600/300 Bi axial material 9mm end grain balsa 450 g chopped strand mat with additional reinforcing below the waterline and keels, with certain key areas reinforced with kevlar.
Very solid in other words!

The aft cockpit follows more traditional lines than many newer designs. There is a raised helm to starboard and plenty of space aft, but you don’t get the open platform you will see on more modern designs. But she feels safe in a big following sea.
Step down into the saloon and you will find a big wraparound sofa (convertible into a large bed) around a dining table facing port. There is a big nav area with a nice chart table opposite on the port side. The galley is located Starboard side the salon. In the starboard hull are two a guest cabins. On the Owner’s set up, the forward port hull houses the master head with a wash basin, separate shower room and dressing area.
Sailing
Like most original Prouts, the 45 was set up with a cutter rig with the mast set well back for easy short-handed sailing and most of the lines running down the mast into the cockpit. With a smaller mainsail and a larger genoa, this makes her very easy to handle with a short handed crew or even on your own. I have seen some aero-rig set ups on the market.
With the mainsail, genoa (the main power provider) and staysail for upwind sailing, and a spinnaker you can fly off the bow for downwind sailing in lighter winds, she moves very competently and you should see some nice speeds off the wind. The main is generally fully battened (slab reefed). All the other major control lines are led back from the base of the mast (accessible from the cockpit) through a block of clam cleats to a single bulkhead mounted winch.
There are additional Genoa sheet winches mounted in the cockpit plus an additional Genoa furling line winch.
The running rigging has been designed so that everything can be done from the safety of the cockpit without having to venture out onto the deck.

Hull
The Prout 45 was designed for Offshore and Ocean Crossing adventured.
The hulls each incorporate long keels and skegs protecting Rudders and Propellers.
This hull design allows for the bat to be beached for service and protects running bear from floating debris.
Additionally the lower “bridge clearance” allows for additional storage and more headroom in the salon, making the 45′ Prout a great live aboard and an enjoyable offshore craft.
Hull has a “Wrap” for extra protection
