Description
"Sunray" is a Prout Manta built in Richards Bay, South Africa and commissioned in October of 1997. The present owners bought and documented her here in the US in 2003. Since then she has been lightly sailed exclusively in the Chesapeake Bay.
The Prout Manta is a reputable, solidly built, and proven long-range cutter cruising design.
If you are looking for a serious offshore catamaran, with a Prout reputation, that is capable of sailing around the world, you should look at "Sunray".
As of 10/5/2020, Sunray has been hauled and fresh bottom paint applied as well as having her topsides compounded and waxed, and outdrive serviced. She will be heading back to the water and ready to sail south with her next owner. Pictures, as of this date, have been added to the listing showing her fresh bottom, outdrive, huge custom swim platform, all the hatches she has for wonderful ventilation, plus the opening windshields for the cockpit hardtop. This is a stout vessel that should not be overlooked! She is located in Lusby, MD and available by appointment only.

The water has always been a part of my life since learning to sail aboard a Sailfish while vacationing in Chatham, Massachusetts. At twelve, I graduated to Penguins and 420’s at the Tred Avon Yacht Club in Oxford, Maryland. My parents always belonged to the Corinthian Yacht Club in Philadelphia and I often accompanied them on cruises aboard a Hinckley Bermuda 40 that we cruised in the Chesapeake.
Understanding banking after working 12 years for Loyola Savings and Loan of Maryland, I helped navigate the purchase of a 32’ Pearson Vanguard for a friend and taught him to sail. Loving the idea of sharing my passion for boating, I joined Oxford Boatyard Yacht Sales (in what is now Safe Harbor Oxford Boatyard and Marina) in 1990 and worked as a broker and office manager for 25 years.Â
In 1993, Oxford Boatyard Yacht Sales became a dealer for Sabre and Back Cove Motor Yachts and I acquired an understanding and respect for powerboats. I worked closely with the boatyard commissioning new vessels and working as a liaison between new owners and the marina. I have an intimate understanding of the boat buying process - how to guide new owners through surveys, sea trials, registration, and documentation.Â
I love all boats and each one has its own quality. Though I would consider myself a traditionalist in boat design, I like what the new designs offer in comfort and ability.Â
Â
My husband (of 30 years) and I live in Easton, Maryland. My husband is the rigging supervisor at Safe Harbor Oxford Boatyard and our daughter, having graduated from Washington College in 2020, is now teaching English as well as coaching the sailing team at the Gunston School in Centreville, Md. She has recently come on board as the Summer Sailing Director with the Tred Avon Yacht Club.
Â
I am starting my 7th year as a broker with Brewer Yacht Sales and in addition to my office at Safe Harbor Zahniser’s in Solomon’s, Maryland I now have an office at Safe Harbor Oxford. This enables me to cover the territory from the Eastern Shore to Solomon’s Island and everything in between.Â
Â
I look forward to speaking with you and sharing my passion for boats. Let me help you find the perfect yacht or support and guide you in the sale of your existing vessel!
