1990 Prout Catamaran

Step aboard and you’ll recognize the trademark Prout layout: a secure, deep cockpit set well aft, wide side decks, and that distinctive forward working area that makes anchoring and sail handling feel controlled, even shorthanded. Inside, the bridgedeck saloon offers a surprising amount of light and headroom for a classic multihull of this vintage, with private cabins tucked into each hull and generous storage along the way. The narrow hulls are known for their easy motion and respectable performance under sail, especially when reaching. With the rig set well aft and the mast compression carried by a strong central beam, this platform gives an owner-refit-minded sailor a solid, proven foundation to customize into a capable cruising home.

In these waters, where shifting breezes and variable sea states are the norm, a Prout catamaran’s conservative sail plan and balanced hulls shine. The relatively modest beam compared with many modern cats makes marina slips and haul-outs more manageable, yet you still enjoy the shallow draft that opens up quiet anchorages powerboats and deeper monohulls can’t comfortably reach. Protected helm and cockpit seating mean you can keep watch or entertain without feeling exposed when the afternoon chop picks up. Add in ample tankage and storage, and this model suits longer stays on the hook, coastal hops, or seasonal liveaboard life, all while maintaining the reassuring structural integrity these British-designed cats are known for.
