OVERVIEW

The new Panther 64 is perhaps the fastest, most technically advanced luxury production flybridge motoryacht in the world. 43 knots on hydrofoil assisted hulls. "Fly-by-wire" joystick controlled twin V12. MTU diesels: 2300horsepower driving 57,000 gallons of water a minute through VOS power waterjets. The Panther 64 is a brilliantly conceived power catamaran which blends Prout's 45 years of experience with the best of contemporary styling and the use of the latest components. Ken Freivokh's stunning interior in Spinneybeck hide and hand-crafted high-gloss cherry wood is assembled in the best traditions of British craftmanship - unbridled luxury combined with the space, speed, comfort and shallow draft that only a catamaran cat provide.

EQUIPMENT

HULLS

Advanced asymmetric hull form designed for jet drive unit s with constant deadrise sections. The high bridgedeck is faired into the hulls for efficient water clearance. Sophisticated chine and spray rail system. The hull is a one-piece molding employing a Kevlar based hybrid construction system both under and over a complete stringer and rib integrated structure.

SUPERSTRUCTURE

The deck, coachroof and cockpit are a one-piece molding using a combination of a Kevlar based hybrid FRP construction system together with rib and sandwich stiffening. The deck molding is bonded to the hull with a similar lightweight laminate, which is increased at high load points with a mixture of complex woven rovings. The boat is completed by integral foam cored composite bulkheads between the hulls and deck providing a strong and lightweight structure.
