About
The Prout 45 is a timeless example of the classic Prout catamaran, offering a perfect balance of durability, comfort, and performance for those seeking a long-term cruising or liveaboard experience. This privately owned, never-chartered vessel is a highly sought-after three-cabin owner’s version, with a luxurious owner’s suite situated to starboard. Designed with both functionality and comfort in mind, the Prout 45 is ideal for sailors who appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship and reliable performance in a bluewater-capable catamaran.
One of the defining features of the Prout 45S is its heavy-duty keels on each hull, which not only protect the propellers and rudders but also allow the vessel to be safely beached for maintenance or during extended cruising adventures. This durability makes the Prout 45 an exceptional choice for exploring remote destinations or shallow anchorages. Equipped for extended independence, the catamaran boasts 2800 watts of solar panels, Relion lithium batteries, 300 feet of main anchor chain, and two life rafts, ensuring it is ready for off-grid living. Additional upgrades, such as custom extended sugar scoops, all-new air conditioning units, updated electronics, and fresh running rigging, enhance the vessel’s comfort and performance.
Whether setting sail for a transoceanic journey or enjoying the comforts of life at anchor, this Prout 45 catamaran is fully outfitted for extended cruising and liveaboard lifestyles. With its robust design, modern amenities, and proven reputation, it offers an unparalleled experience for sailors seeking adventure, independence, and comfort on the water.

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.

Sails & Rigging
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 (not included) 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.
