Built by Robertson and Caine from Simonis-Voogd's proven design, this popular catamaran has established itself as a standout choice for serious cruising sailors since entering production in 2016. With 368 hulls delivered through 2024, the Leopard 45 demonstrates the market's strong confidence in its blend of performance and livability. The fractional sloop rig with rotating spar delivers impressive sailing characteristics, while the twin-keel catamaran configuration provides the shallow 4.92-foot draft that opens up countless anchorages unavailable to deeper monohulls. At 24.17 feet of beam, the platform offers exceptional stability and interior volume without sacrificing seaworthiness for offshore passages. This fiberglass construction catamaran excels at both coastal cruising and extended blue-water voyaging. The design prioritizes the comfort and safety features that matter most to cruising couples and families, including excellent load-carrying capacity and multiple social areas both above and below deck. The generous sail area combined with moderate displacement creates a responsive sailing platform that doesn't require extreme weather to perform well. Twin 45-horsepower engines provide reliable auxiliary power and excellent maneuverability in tight quarters, making this an ideal vessel for exploring diverse cruising grounds from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean.
