LEOPARD CATAMARANS 47 - 2004  

47ft Leopard catamaran with 4 huge cabins plus additional 2 berths in the saloon if required. The feeling of abundant space is immediately obvious.
The cockpit area is very large for a 47ft cat and has clever seating, all cushioned, around an outdoor table that seats 8. The slightly raised double helm seat is to starboard and allows the skipper to view all 4 corners of the vessel whilst being also able to talk with the crew, family and guests. It puts the skipper right in the middle of all the action.
The galley is a U-shaped design and feels just like home. It's on the same level as the whole upper saloon and cockpit entertaining areas. Everybody is on the same level which is brilliant. Stepping down below the galley and saloon area is a generous double cabin in each point of the hulls. All cabins are queen sized and support private ensuites. The hallways are wide and airy with natural light flowing in everywhere.
Moving around the outside of the boat to go forward is simple as all passage ways are wide and uncluttered. The trampolines are large and both sides have dolphin viewing seats forward on the rail. The forward-facing window louvres become steps up to the base of the mast and also function well as seats whilst admiring the views. On this large relatively flat section of the boat is where the access for water tanks and anchoring are located.
Out the back of the boat is the 2 access points to the water. A stainless-steel swim ladder is mounted and there is also a cold shower for rinsing off. The 3 large solar panels are located above the dinghy davits.
Sail handling is a simple operation with the new genoa on a furler and the battened main in a boom stacker with lazy jacks. Main sail has just been serviced and should go for another 5 year. There is also a 150sqm gennaker and 180 sqm downwind asymetrical spinaker which are both in good condition.
The Leopard is powered by Yanmar 56hp shaft driven diesels which are well maintained. Port engine has 6656hrs and starboard 6112 hrs.
The boat is currently out of the water being slipped and worked on. Rigging was replaced in 2022. The boat has been inspected by a commercial certifier and can be put into charter if the new owner desires.
