Prout is one of the world's venerable catamaran builders. Built mostly in the UK, these robust catamarans were meant to cruise the seven seas.
She's recently taken a $20,000 price reduction and is asking only $199,900. You will be hard pressed to find this much value in a cat this size at this price.
Sun Cat is a rare 50 footer with an even rarer factory installed Aero Rig. This is one of the easiest rigs to handle and is easily balanced on all points of sail and with short handed crew.
The Aero Rig has no standing rigging to maintain or replace, and is super easy to handle and trim and features "no drama" downwind jibing. (Read more in the listing on the benefits of Aero Rig.)
Sun Cat has an amazing amount of space and would make an equally desirable liveaboard. She has four staterooms, three heads, solar panels, great electronics and includes a RIB with outboard and much more.
If you are in the market for a cruising cat with comfortable live aboard amenities, a wonderfully easy sail plan and rig and built for long range passagemaking you owe it to yourself to take a look at Sun Cat.
