Largest Sailing Trimaran
Prout International has infused its second Prout 42m Sailing Trimaran, built to the requirements of an experienced yachtsman. After weeks of preparation, in a time of only three hours hull 02 was completely infused. The advanced construction method of composite GRP with carbon fibre reinforcements is believed to be the largest single piece epoxy infusion in the world. It was completed at the factory in China.
Prout design #2012-2 represents the world’s first sailing trimaran superyacht intended for luxury global cruising. Fitted with a Caterpillar C-12 on the centre hull and Steyr Hybrid diesel engines fitted on the port and starboard wing hulls, the vessel achieves a cruising speed, under power, of 15 knots. Computer polar projections indicate excellent boat speeds under sail ranging from the low teens to the 20-knot range with 814.7 square metres of sail area.
