2009 Leopard 46 - Proven Bluewater Cruising Catamaran

The Leopard 46 is one of the most respected cruising catamarans of its generation, combining excellent sailing performance, generous accommodation and the solid construction Leopard is renowned for.

Designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built by Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 46 offers an outstanding balance between performance and comfort. Her wide beam provides exceptional living space while retaining a practical, easily handled sailing layout ideal for coastal cruising, extended passages or liveaboard adventures.

The spacious saloon features excellent natural light and panoramic visibility, flowing directly into the large cockpit to create an impressive entertaining area. The galley is well positioned for both entertaining and offshore sailing, with plenty of preparation and storage space.

Below deck, the Leopard 46 provides generous accommodation with excellent headroom, ventilation and storage throughout. Large cabins and practical bathrooms make her particularly well suited to extended cruising with family and friends.

Under sail, the Leopard 46 has a reputation for being stable, capable and surprisingly responsive for a cruising catamaran. Her twin-engine configuration provides excellent manoeuvrability around marinas and redundancy when cruising further afield.
