Prouts are a joke and you know it. Any boat with the mainmast
in the cockpit has some serious design problems. It's a good
thing they have nice, big motors or they would never go anywhere.

Multis aren't real seagoing boats. They are a gimmick and
a stupid one at that.

Two years ago I was aboard a Prout that had done three Atlantic crossings
without a hitch (actually both ways, which makes 6!). The husband and wife had
enjoyed tremendous comfort and speed and suffered no serious problems.
That Prout was a great liveaboard and sailed great. I'm no big fan of the looks
of a Cat, but the advantages offered in space and comfort are huge, especially
for liveaboards who don't want to camp-out on a sub 40 foot mono.
Neal, you're a complete idiot who's so jealous of better boats (which is MOST)
that your every post stinks of envey!
