Prout 45 1995

Solitude is an exceptional Prout 45, showcasing a variety of impressive features including an oversized genoa, upgraded lithium batteries, a chartplotter, AIS for inbound and outbound communication, a new EPIRB, and a Seawater Pro system capable of 120v and 40 GPH. After recently completing an annual service and a haul out, she is primed for her next adventure. Key Highlights of Solitude: - Cutter-rigged sloop offering versatility and balance - Proven design for ocean-crossing voyages - Sturdy construction with solid fiberglass hulls - Comfortable living space with a full galley and salon - Wide transom steps for easy access to the water - Generous tank capacity for extended cruising (100 gallons fuel, 200 gallons water) As a classic bluewater cruising catamaran, Solitude is known for its robust British craftsmanship, seaworthiness, and liveaboard comfort. Built in 1996, this 45-foot model epitomizes decades of multihull design by the Prout brothers, innovators in catamaran technology. The sleek Prout 45, launched in 1995, is recognized as one of the brand's most visually appealing boats. Although it has a low bridge deck clearance that may result in some slamming when sailing upwind, it is a solid vessel that prioritizes safety over speed. Its reduced windage offers a significant advantage compared to other designs. The foredeck resembles a Privilege with its compact trampolines and nacelle, making it a popular choice that retains its value well in the secondhand market. All rigging lines are conveniently routed to the cockpit, enhancing usability. The galley is located down in the starboard hull, creating a spacious and inviting salon. The innovative interior design has influenced other brands such as Privilege and Lightwave. The salon extends just short of the forward bulkhead, allowing for a cozy owner's cabin positioned at the center of the boat. The Prout nacelle running along the main deck not only increases living space and headroom but also enhances buoyancy. The Prout 45 is built with a solid fiberglass hull featuring a hand-laid construction method, ensuring no balsa core below the waterline and a reinforced bridgedeck. Designed for ocean crossings, her narrow hulls are efficient, providing better upwind performance than many contemporary cruising catamarans. With a low-profile cabin and a moderate beam of 20’ 10”, she boasts a sleek and aerodynamic silhouette that improves performance and fuel efficiency. Constructed with a robust lay-up of materials, the Prout 45 includes isophthalic gelcoat, powder-bound mat, bi-axial materials, and additional reinforcements in key areas with Kevlar, ensuring she is exceptionally solid and reliable.
