The Leopard 44 platform is really fantastic! With all lines leading to the helm it's the easiest to sail single or shorthanded of any catamaran in its class. The design around a cruising couple featuring the forward lounge and salon door earned the award for Boat of the year by cruisers magazine in 2014. The boat design is all about combination and balance. The sail platform is a combination of performance and ease; we've sailed it shorthanded halfway around the world. The layout is a balance between spaciousness, utility, and comfort. The spacious layout is ideal for live-aboards, family cruising, or a couple like us seeking an adventure. Further, we've added all the amenities so you feel at home wherever you anchor. We've equipped the boat to be energy self sufficient; with 2000W of solar plus lithium batteries the sun provides power for 4 refrigerators/freezers, hot showers, water maker, induction cooking, ice for happy hour, Starlink for movie nights, and even running the air-conditioner at anchor. With 1,000 liters of water storage plus the water maker you don't have to worry about where to fill the tanks when you have guests onboard and head off to the islands.

We chose this model because we believe its the best in its class of 40'-50' catamarans for: ease of sailing short handed, performance, build quality, comfort, and value. It was built with a steel I beam supporting the mast and connecting the two hulls, so you won't have bulkhead issues like some other cats.

A unique offer:
We will offer delivery just about anywhere in the western pacific or southeast asia.
We are also happy to offer live-aboard training to the new owners. Over the years we've had ideas about creating a cruisers training program with this boat as the platform, and to prepare we've practised by training crew with little to no experience. We can cover all of the fundamentals including maintenance, to ensure you set sail with confidence. Where else will can you get hands on training on your own boat. We will help facilitate importation upon request.

About the sellers:
We've been actively cruising for about 6 years and we're thinking about taking a year or two off from cruising to visit our families and start a family of our own. We have had the time of our lives cruising and we intend to continue but we don't want to leave the boat sitting in a yard for a year. We're happy to share more of our story if you're interested.
