45 Prout 1996 Boat for Sale

Prout 45 Specifications - Standard Equipment General Construction - Strength, essential in a catamaran design, is achieved by the one-piece hull and deck moldings bonded together with the bulkhead locations at strategic positions forming deep box sections, thus producing a monocoque shell system. Hull - The hull is molded using the latest molding techniques to minimize the risk of osmosis. Gelcoat is of the isophthalic type. The first layers of glass are powder bound hand-laid with isophthalic resins using the Scott Bader System which is guaranteed for five years against osmosis. Incorporated in the lay-up are biaxial fibers. High-stress areas are reinforced. The hull is of sandwich construction using end grain balsa above the waterline. Deck - The deck molding uses top-quality Lloyds approved materials and incorporates end grain balsa sandwich to give strength where required and is also reinforced at high-stress areas and where through-deck fittings are sited. Shroud plate areas are extensively reinforced. Incorporated in the deck lay-up are the latest biaxial materials for strength and weight saving. Forward deck areas use trampoline nets. Bulkheads - All main bulkheads are substantially bonded to the hull and the deck with woven rovings. The bulkheads are located at strategic points to give compressional and torsional strength where required. Some are of composite construction, vacuum-bagged for effective weight saving. Mast Support System - Mast loads are transmitted via an advanced HE30 aluminum space frame support system integrated with the rigging. Interior - All interior furniture units are designed to complete a honeycomb type structure. All pieces are bonded into the hull and deck assembly in order to serve the dual purpose of function and strength. Buoyancy - There are built-in buoyancy compartments both forward and aft in each hull and the water tanks form a double bottom system in the vessel ensuring buoyancy should she be holed.
