Prout 138' Sailing Trimaran Prout International
After weeks of preparation, in a time of only 3 hours hull 02 was completely infused. The advanced construction method of composite G.R.P. with carbon fiber reinforcements is believed to be the largest single piece epoxy infusion in the world and was completed at the factory in China under the auspices of RINA.
Prout design #2012-2 represents the world's first sailing trimaran super yacht intended for luxury global cruising. Fitted with a Caterpillar C-12 on the center 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.
