Introducing S/V Rainbow’s End! This 1992 Owners Version Escale 39’ custom Prout was built in South Africa by the owner of Prout Boats. The Prout Escale has a solid reputation as a reliable and seaworthy liveaboard for offshore cruising. Prouts were reputedly the first and for many years the only catamarans that met Lloyd’s of London standards. This particular vessel has many different features than the typical production models such as the stern configuration with the upsized davits, bolted on steps, ladder and folding swim platform which allows for even more interior storage than similar models. She is a very unique upgraded catamaran, there is none like it!
This vessel has been built for long term cruising and is set up for easy single-handed sailing, control is easily accessible at the helm. There is also a Kohler 13 kW 3-cylinder diesel generator with only testing hours on it. This vessel has been set up with both 110v and 230v outlets throughout and the ability to plug in both 30amp and 50-amp shore power.
S/V Rainbow’s End is powered by 2 Volvo Penta 2000 series 29hp diesel engines that are raw water cooled. Engines were rebuilt in 2009 with 405 and 490 hours. The sails are in good condition: the Mainsail has in mast furling, the headsail is a brand new Gennaker 165 on roller furling, the Staysail is an extra heavy storm sail like new condition, and the Spinnaker is with an adjustable pole that hanks onto a track in the mast. There is no shortage of electronics on board such as a Garmin 4212 multifunction display with 12-inch screen new 2023, Garmin radar, Raymarine Smart Pilot ST 7002, Raymarine DS500X Depth/Fish finder, Raymarine Wind indicator, Compass, and 6 VHF radios. There is also a Ubiquity Titanium Bullet antenna for wireless and cellular with a 65-mile range going up the mast.
On the interior and exterior there is an enormous amount of storage. The beautiful teak interior with teak and holly floors throughout is spacious with 6’2” of headroom and a comfortable layout. This layout has 2 separate sleeping cabins with 2 separate heads with showers, the portside also has a bathtub. The galley is equipped with a 2-burner propane stove with oven, two facets for the double sinks (1 for saltwater and 1 fresh water) and a water filtration system. There is a Pur water maker. There is a separate built-in freezer that runs on 230v as well as a 12v refrigerator with new 2” insulation. For more comfort there are also 2 Marine Ocean Breeze air conditioners on board.
