All intended to make sailing more fun and not to be too serious. Exchange help and information. Costs nothing to join and only take a couple of minutes.

The MEMBERSHIP LIST is just that. If you want to contact an owner with a similar Prout or are interested in their opinion before buying one yourself or intend cruising in their area and would like to say hello then this is the way to get in touch. Why not join and be on the list?

JOIN NOW is a little form to fill in and send to me so that you can be included in the membership list.  Fill in as many or few of the details you want - all are welcome..

SUBSCRIPTION:  There is a voluntary annual subscription of £10 = roughly $1.50 US - by PayPal. It will help fund the Prout Owners Association web site.

 FORUM  Please visit the forum to exchange 'Prout' or sailing information. If you want to sell your boat or nautical items there is also a section for that...  Please note this is a brand new forum and if you used the previous one you will have to 'join' again... The old forum has been dispatched to the sin bin permanently.

FRENCH CANALS are pages of the experiences of owners taking their Prouts north and south by this bridge between the UK and the Mediterranean. Do feel free to add your experiences.

If, like me, you have suffered from headlining 'droop', then HEADLINING

or Silette leg 'bouncing up' or, or, or, then do offer solutions or look for answers in HELPFUL HINTS

HEADLINING!!!! If you have this problem this is the place to look.

SPECIFICATIONS are for you to refer to and to help fill in. If every Prout owner can send the necessary information with pictures if possible we can build a useful data base

WHERE ARE YOU?  has got one of those Frapper Maps of the world which enable you to put the location of your boat with a map marker - if you want.

Stability Tests - anybody help?

We are about to re-rig a Prout 45 Catamaran in Hollyhead, Anglesey and were hoping to find an example of a Prout 45 locally (we’re based in Maldon, on the East Coast) to have a look at before we go over to Wales, to ensure we’re best prepared.  I wondered if you knew of any Prout Catamarans kept on the East Coast or near London?    Full info here

The same is true if you are coming North from the Med to the English Channel or North Sea.
