Description
HERE IS A RARE FIND.
HULL NUMBER 14 OF THE LEGENDARY 45 LEOPARDS THAT WERE BUILT LIKE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, WHEN JOHN ROBERTSON AND GERRY CAINE WERE STILL IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY AND BEFORE 'CHOPPER GUN 'TECHNOLOGY WAS INVENTED!
THIS EXAMPLE WAS PROFESSIONALLY LENGTHENED AND HAS A NUMBER OF AWESOME UPGRADES THAT MAKE HER PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE CRUISING CATS AROUND.
Boat Highlights
The Leopard 45 has received numerous accolades since the model’s introduction due to her open and spacious layout, easy handling, functional galley-up layout, four spacious staterooms with double-size berths and generous headroom throughout. All of the systems are very simple to operate and easily accessed. Comfortably cruise at 8 knots or pick up speed with her powerful twin 50hp Yanmar diesel engines. Her shallow 4' 1" draft is ideal for reaching secluded anchorages and her layout is perfect for entertaining guests. The high quality interior is a tasteful blend of wood; fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) and Corian. The cabin sole is durable, low maintenance teak and holly composite floor panels. You can easily seat 8 guests for dinner at the fixed cockpit table. The helmsman seat is strategically located to allow for a 360 degree view around the boat under a custom hard top. She is a sail away catamaran you really could just step on board and go.
The perfect family cruising boat.
