Ayla has been our home since January 2024 as we cruised the Queensland Coast but we've made our base in Gladstone and its time for someone else to enjoy her.
Ayla would be the best conditioned and appointed Leopard 38 of her model/year in Australia with previous owner essentially completing a full refit between 2019 and 2023 followed by other improvements and upgrades since we took ownership. We've set up Ayla to cruise long term and remain self sufficient for extended periods of time.
She is the perfect size for a couple or small family with owners configuration and 2M plus head throughout creating a spacious vessel with probably the best configured cockpit of any 38 foot sailing catamaran.
Super easy to sail in all conditions from a very sheltered helm station and her smaller footprint and draft means you can get into places many cant.
Almost every component has been upgraded in the past 4 years from engines (up from 30hp to 40hp) full suite of Victron lithium battery/charing/inverter system, standing and running rigging, cockpit vinyl & clears, 240V electrical system, internal, external and in hull LED lighting through to electric toilets, kitchen applicances, cushions, hatch covers, water maker, hot water unit, custom inner spring mattresses, stainless BBQ - you name it and its probably been done.
Storage has been expanded with custom shelving throughout, under bed storage lockers and full length stainless framed transom bench - perfect for filleting all the spanish mackerel you'll catch using the extra stainless rod holders we've fitted.
Vessel has been kiddie proofed with safety netting along lifelines and transom.
Vessel is vinyl wrapped which can be retained to protect the hull or easily removed if not to your liking.
Plenty of spares and consumables for water maker, toilets, electric & manual bilge pumps, oil/fuel filters/belts/impellers/oils/coolants for the Yanmar main and Yamaha tender outboard engines.
See specifications for full details but this is 100% a boat you can step on and cruise immediately. We can even negotiate leaving selected kitchen applicances, pots, pans, linen etc so all you need is food and booze and you're on your way.
We may also be able to assist with delivery within Queensland.
