Remarks
Leopard Owners have established a "Cult" following for the Leopard 46. Safe, secure and fast offshore with thousands of ocean miles sailed. The design buids confidence in Owners and sailing skills for the offshore adventurer or the coastal sailor alike. The boat is a "Legend" and deserves it's reputation. Build quality, sailing characteristics and an excellent resale value in the Brokerage market have made the 46 a well loved and sought after model. This 3 cabin Owner's version is the most sought after model of all.
