Prout

Prout

CYMRIC IS A VERY RARE PROUT.  BUILT IN 1996 at the peak of the PROUT EMPIRE in England.  No expense was spared by her commissioning owner who also had her surveyed frequently during her build.  All this documentation has been saved.  Cymric is named for a feline breed from the Isle of Man that loves water.

Prout is well-known for safety, sturdiness, interior fit and fitness and comfort at sea.  This is a catamaran that is capable of being sailed throughout the world.  If you are searching for a comfortable, safe voyaging catamaran then Prout should certainly be on your short list.  More importantly, as you will see in the full specifications of this listing, Cymric has been refitted and upgraded by the current owner.  Cymric is truly ready to be sailed anywhere in the world.

The Prout 45 was designed for safe long-term cruising.  Her size is impressive even though she is not particularly wide with a length/beam ratio of 2.15:1.  What stands out is her presence which speaks volumes for her character and underlying design philosophy.  The boat is a fully-fitted cruising catamaran intended for secure long legged jaunts.  She is the quintessential ocean-going catamaran.  The outline of the coachroof is sleek and the teardrop windows give her a futuristic look.  The hulls have reasonably full U-shaped sections for generous load carrying.  In order to provide plenty of reserve buoyancy the bows are well raked and flared.  The sterns are narrow and the keels are long with low profile fins fitted with winglets which minimize side sliding in rough seas.  The rudders are low semi elliptical profiles supported by half-depth skegs.

The decks are open and the foredeck is expansive.  There are massive lockers in the foredeck and the cockpit for all the paraphernalia of blue water cruising.  The cockpit is spacious without being dauntingly large, well equipped with seating, stowage, and a fixed teak table.  The helmsman is provided with a comfortable seat on the starboard side with a good view forward.  With the mast stepped on the main bulkhead all lines are handled from the cockpit.  The boat is stoutly rigged with 7 Dyform (30% stronger) stays, and a network of diamonds and double spreaders. The mainsheet tackle is powerful and runs smoothly on the track across the back of the cockpit. 

Stepping into the saloon, one is immediately impressed by the décor and abundance of exquisite hardwood trim.  Bulkheads and joinery are veneered in warm American Red Cherry.  Natural light floods all parts of the yacht from a wealth of overhead hatches, opening ports and windows.  Throughout, you will be impressed by the quality of the fittings and finishes.

Step down into a galley in the central part of the starboard hull that will satisfy the most demanding cook.  It comes fitted with cooktop/broiler, a full refrigerator/freezer and a triple sink.  The hull is wide enough to allow people to walk past those working in the galley.  Cabinets facing each other extend the length of the galley, and clear sliding doors above the sink provide abundant storage.

The cabins are large and open with all the storage needed for long distance cruising.  The bunks are 7 feet long and 4 feet 9 inches wide and the head room is 6 feet 2 inches.

Installed under the bunks in the aft cabins, access to the two 50hp Volvo diesels is extremely good.  They can be reached either from the cabins themselves or from on deck via ladders.  Top speed is 8.5 knots and cruising speed is 7.5 knots.  She can be cruised on one engine at 5.5 knots with fuel consumption of half a gallon per hour.  This cat can be turned on the spot, whether going ahead or astern and positioned with great precision.

This Prout is not a racer, her windward performance equates closely to a cruising monohull of similar length.  However she is comfortable, carries her sail well and has a gentle motion.  Her performance is sure footed, safe, stable and steady.  Her design is conservative and proven.  She is manageable by two people but can be sailed single handed if needed.  Her well built and finished accommodation offers a spacious and luxurious package for a couple intending to live aboard or planning for a bout of extended cruising.  In short she is a beautiful and well engineered classic.

THE  DECK

The exterior deck is separated into 3 sections, the Bow, Midship and the Stern.

Bow

Located at the bow are 2 semicircular tramps, a center locker for the windlass and rode (100\' 3/8 “chain and 200\' 5/8” rope), a forward center locker for the rode run and storage for the Delta 55# anchor. On the port side is the wash down locker that houses the fresh and saltwater controls and hoses along with storage for fenders, and the spare anchors and rode.  The starboard locker houses the dual propane tanks, diesel fuel containers, and fender boards.  Two dolphin seats are located at the bow.  A hatch on the port side provides fresh air to the Master shower while the starboard side hatch allows access to the utility closet. The 110 Genoa is furled and fixed at the bow point.  The staysail is furled and fixed at the bow deck midpoint.

Midship

Four topside hatches provide fresh air to the saloon.  This area can be shaded via a Sunbrella tent affixed to the spinnaker halyard and also occupied by cushions or deck chairs. The saloon topside is accessed by steps positioned aside the cockpit.  Four deck-fills are located along the side walkways (2 port & 2 Starboard) and the whole area is surrounded by stainless wire lifelines and railing.  Solar powered Nicro fan units are located above the heads.  Entry areas are located along both sides.

Stern

The Stern provides steps on the \"scoops\" for entry access to the cockpit.  Located at the port side scoop are a stainless folding swim ladder and a shore water connection.  The 50 AMP shore power electrical and COAX cable connections are located on the port aft section.  A MOB safety spotter pole is attached to the port aft stay.  The Kato davits that support the RIB dinghy and rigging are centrally located.  The safety life ring and rear anchor roller are located starboard aft.  The starboard stair \"scoop\" also provides access to the hot/cold fresh water shower wash-down for swimmers. 

THE COCKPIT

The cockpit is shaded by a Sunbrella bimini with removable Stratoglass panels.  This bimini is mounted on a welded white powdered coated aluminum frame.  There is a bi-color lighting unit and controls mounted to the underside of the bimini frame directly above the foldout teak table.  Hard side mounting steps and mainsail walkways are built into the bimini frame.

Reception/Entertaining Area

There are water resistant cushions for all 5 seating areas.  Access to both aft cabins is available by a cockpit hatch pass thru or cabin ceiling hatches.  The cockpit also provides access to the following compartments: 4 for storage, 1 for house and starting batteries, 1 for the genset, and 1 each for the port and starboard engines and equipment.  A NauticStar foldout teak table for eating and entertaining is positioned between the aft seating areas.  Individual drink holders are strategically placed throughout.  Dual Pioneer speakers for your listening pleasure are also positioned in this seating area.

Helm

The helm station is positioned at the forward starboard side of the cockpit.  All sail and motoring activities can be controlled without leaving the helm.  An electric Lewmar winch can be used on all lines and 4 manual winches are strategically located for primary or secondary assists. The helm is complete with high water alarms, an autopilot remote, a DC power outlet, Volvo dual deluxe engine instruments, Raymarine ST70 color autopilot display/control, Furuno RD33 color multifunction display, Icom 504A VFH radio, LED lighted magnetic compass, ship’s whistle stand, dual engine throttle controls, and a separate stand mounted Furuno FMD 1920C/NT multifunction display (Chartplotter, Radar overlay, Weather station, AIS, and fish finder) encased in it’s own Navpod.  A Pompanette helm seat with footrest completes this area.

THE BRIDGEDECK

The bridge deck spans the distance between the port and starboard hulls.  The mast is mounted at the rear of the saloon and does not intrude into the interior of this space.  This interior area consists of the saloon, navigation station, and guest quarters.  Steps located at the aft end of the saloon provide access down to the hulls. 

Saloon

A bi-fold door from the cockpit allows entry to a spacious standing room saloon.  The squared configuration area allows spacious seating for 6 or can be used as additional sleeping area for 3 guests.  The table has drop leaves and is mounted atop of a Norcold refrigerator for drinks and snacks.  Above the table is a ceiling mounted multilight directional halogen fixture.  Separate reading lights and Caframo fans are also mounted in the saloon corners.  The newly DuraTouch pleather upholstered settee has large storage spaces beneath the removable seats.  A TV,  VCR/VHS, and Bose speakers are mounted for easy enjoyment.  Forward of the seating area is a beautiful world map screen that rolls up or can be lowered to provide privacy for the forward guest quarters.  New Textilene solar covers shade all saloon windows. Four topside hatches provide natural lighting and ventilation.  Helm navigation and electrical controls are accessed by a panel door at the rear of the saloon. The hulls are accessed by steps on either side at the rear of the saloon.  The brass ship’s clock and barometer are mounted on the forward cabin wall and the brass ship’s bell on the aft wall.

Navigation Station

A large navigation station is located on the port side of the saloon with a pull out tabletop large enough for charting with two drawers for tools and equipment.  The station is lighted by directional halogens and day/night ceiling mounted fixtures.  The navigation station provides access to a pull out full size charting table, a Standard Horizon Explorer VHF radio, an EPIRB, an Icom 802 shortwave radio, a Garmin GPS, a Raymarine ST60 autopilot with remote and keypad, a Sony music station, Furuno 48 mile radar, Furuno RD33 multifunction display, IMAC computer w/charting software, Kubota generator controls, Cruiseair saloon electronic temperature controls, watermaker, electric master station with navigation lights controls, ProLink battery monitor, Xantrex charging control, and Wema tank sentry.

THE PORT HULL

The port hull is configured as the “owners suite”.    Three separate areas are contained in this hull.  These are the Master Head, Owner’s Passageway, Master Cabin.  The steps down from the Bridgedeck provide access to the emergency hatch with emergency lighted steps.

THE STARBOARD HULL

The starboard hull contains (starting at the bow) a storage locker, utility storage closet  with hatch access, pantry, galley, head with shower wash down, and a queen size VIP cabin.  The steps down from the Bridgedeck provide access to the emergency hatch with emergency lighted steps.

Galley

The galley has natural light and ventilation from a deck hatch and screened port and a directional Caframo fan.   Fluorescent lights mounted under the dishware cabinetry illuminate the triple molded sink and generous counter space.  A Scandvik faucet/ sprayer nozzle and a salt water washdown faucet service the sinks.  Four locking drawers and generous under counter storage provide for plenty of space for utensils, waste basket and small appliances.  A full size Norcold refrigerator/freezer and a Force 10 propane 2 burner cooktop with broiler completes the galley.

VIP Cabin

Just aft of the galley is the VIP suite.  In the first compartment is the shower/faucet  combo sink with storage behind the mirror and below. Indirect lights aside the mirror and a dome bi-color ceiling lamp provide lighting.  A Jabasco manual toilet is located on the starboard side. Ventilation is provided by a Nicro solar powered vent and a screened port.  The flooring is a shower drain pan with a Whale Gulper pump. 

A door separates the head from the sleeping quarters.  This area has it own CruiseAir A/C/Heating controls and Hurricane heater system.  Natural lighting and ventilation  come from two screened ports and deck hatch. A pull up hinged vanity with storage space is located on the port side of the cabin. A recessed luggage storage locker is above the vanity.  On the starboard side is a full size hanging closet with side shelves.  A directional Caframo fan is affixed to the aft side of the clothes closet.  A queen sized berth with dual halogen reading lamps complete this compartment.
