Frank Prout
Francis Prout (7 July 1921 Greenwich, Greater London, England – 23 February 2011 Woodbridge, Suffolk, England) was a British sprint canoer who competed in the early 1950s. He was eliminated in the heats of the K-2 1000 m event at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki.[1]
Together with his brother Roland Prout, in the family firm of G. Prout & Sons, he developed the pioneering Shearwater III racing catamaran in 1956 and several later designs.[2][3]
