Overview

About this vessel

Solitude is a fine example of a Prout 45. Recently completed annual service and recent yard haul out, she is ready for her next owner.

The Prout 45 was launched in 1995 and is a well made, solid boat. The low bridge deck clearance means there can be a bit of slamming going up wind and the displacement is on the heavy side. You won't be breaking any speed records, but this is a catamaran that will take you anywhere safely. With that lower profile, windage is significantly reduced versus other designs. She looks a bit like a Privilege on the foredeck with those small trampolines and the nacelle. All the lines come down the aft side of the mast—and because this is positioned aft in the Prout position, your sheets, halyards and reefing lines are all to hand in the cockpit.

With the galley down in the starboard hull, the saloon is very comfortable. The interior design is pretty innovative. The saloon stops short of the forward bulkhead, so there is space for an owner's cabin forward in the center of the boat. The Prout nacelle that runs fore and aft along the main deck adds living space and headroom as well as buoyancy.

Solitude features a cutter-rigged sloop for versatility and balance with proven ocean-crossing capability. Her hulls are narrow and efficient, contributing to better upwind performance than many modern cruising cats. Her low-profile cabin provides a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency. The hull features solid fiberglass with a hand-laid layup, no balsa core below the waterline, and a reinforced bridgedeck. Wide transom steps provide easy water access. Ample tankage supports extended cruising.

The Prout 45 was 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. Sturdy and durable construction throughout.

Bluewater ready with a $5k deck paint allowance.
