Both one-piece hull and deck mouldings are hand laid glass fibre, using powder-bound mat, biaxial clothes, woven rovings, isopthalic resin. Below the waterline, the hulls are solid laminate, while the topsides and deck incorporate an end grain balsa core. The deck has an integrally moulded non-slip finish. The hull and deck join is fully bonded and protected by a substantial rubbing strake. Many of the structural bulkheads are of vacuum bagged foam core, and when the interior furniture is fully bonded, in a light and stiff ‘honeycomb’ structure is created.

The Prout is virtually unsinkable due to its watertight bulkheads and buoyancy compartments fore and aft. The keels are integrally moulded and sealed off from the hulls forming a double bottom.
