S/V Sunray is a 1997 Prout Manta 38 catamaran for sale by owner. She is on the hard in Solomons, Maryland. This model is built like a tank with built in flotation fore and aft. She has new bottom paint and is ready to sail into the horizon.
The Prout family started building boats in the 1950 through 2002 in Exeter UK, leading the way with design innovations, rugged construction and blue water safety. A major contributor to the popularity of cruising catamarans today.
This Prout Manta version was built in Richards Bay, South Africa and is basically the same catamaran as the 39 ft Escale model also from Prout. The Manta at 38 ft has a slightly shorter “sugar scoop” than the Escale model.
S/V Sunray is a roomy and comfortable yacht designed and built for serious cursing and is about as good-looking cruising cat as you will find. The mast is stepped at the forward end of the cockpit making all halyards accessible without going on deck. Below deck is light and airy, the cabins have ample headroom, there is a generous amount of storage space and is well finished.
The “Reputation of Quality” of the Prout catamaran – It’s a very long list but here are a few highlights:
- Proven Ocean Crossing Catamaran – Sturdy, Seaworthy, and Affordable. 100+ circumnavigations.
- Mast is stepped further AFT with an excellent sail plan for short-handed sailing and balance
- Flat Keels and Narrow Beam for standard berths, easy haul outs and beaching.
- Low Profile = Low Windage
- “Solidly Built”, strong, seaworthy and cosey down below.
- Solid forward Bridge deck (no nets) making a very rigid and sturdy boat with a large solid foredeck for working, playing and lounging.
