COMMENTS:
FELIX
was commissioned and sea trialed in Ft Lauderdale in April 1997. The Prout 45
is renown for its sea worthiness and kindly manor, this yacht has been further
enhanced to make short handed sailing more of a pleasure than it normally is
with the UPGRADED AERORIG, all major systems have back ups, the oversized
winches make sail handling a dream, imagine tacking by turning the helm
and nothing else!! 100% Visibility (no ducking) under sail etc etc. FELIX is
fully equipped for offshore short-handed sailing, the simplicity of the
AERORIG design gives you the ultimate in safety, simplicity, and performance.
She has been maintained to the highest of standards and is ready to go now
with nothing to spend on her.
