Capetown, South Africa, is surrounded by some of the world’s most notorious waters. If a boat builder calls this area home—as Leopard Catamarans does—you can rest assured that its hulls are designed to be seaworthy.

The shipyard that built the ‘titanic’ has filed for bankruptcy.

Trim tabs typically don’t work well on catamarans, so Leopard used a computational fluid dynamics algorithm in a virtual test tank to ensure that this model would run level in big seas, with the twin goals of maximizing guest comfort and solidifying lines of sight. Leopard says the process also increases fuel efficiency. The model comes with multiple Yanmar diesels, including twin 250-horsepower, 320-horsepower, and 370-horsepower versions. With the twin 320 powerplants, top speed is 23 knots while cruise is about 16.

The 40’s main deck is flush, leading from the fairly sizable cockpit into a salon that is filled with windows, providing exceptional views from this glass sanctuary. The windshield flips open for ventilation, and the forward door creates a passage to the boat’s broad foredeck.

The lower deck has three staterooms, each with its own head and shower, with the main suite being on the starboard side, running the full length of the pontoon.

The foredeck makes excellent use of the boat’s generous beam. There’s a sun lounge, of course, for enjoying the area. Perhaps more interesting is the stowage beneath the cushions, where a deep, wide locker is designed to hold toys, extra clothing, dive tanks, or whatever other equipment needs to be stowed. Two other lockers forward of this one let you really load the boat for long-distance cruising. Sturdy, thigh-high guardrails encircling the bow providing an element of safety for with family cruises.

The 4th Generation of Leopard Powercat

Succeeding the most popular powercat of all time (Leopard 51 Powercat), this Leopard 53 Powercat ushers in the 4th generation with a yacht that features all the attributes that made her predecessor successful, while reimagining what a powercat should be. With the space, stability, and efficiency expected of a catamaran combined with the comfort and luxury of a motor yacht, she is crafted with style without compromising on performance. The Best of Both Worlds The Leopard 53 Powercat offers a modern interior with the comforts of home as well as plenty of outdoor entertaining space. Combined with the smart and economical advantages of the catamaran design, she is easy to maintain and operate, and is up to 50% more fuel efficient than her monohull motoryacht counterparts. The interior’s atmosphere will entice, with cool tones and modern finishes. Offered in a three or four cabin layout, with the option for separate crew cabins. The three-cabin owner’s version provided an at-home feel with a large, walk around bed, a walk-in closet and a double vanity. The saloon offers large, panoramic windows, an L-shaped lounge to port and a 2-person settee to starboard with an option to add an interior navigation station. The flow is seamless with access to foredeck through the forward saloon door. The galley is outfitted with a domestic-sized refrigerator/freezer, Staron® worktop surfaces, 4-burner stove, microwave oven, sink and faucet, and ample amounts of storage. The flybridge provides a well-thought-out helm station with great visibility. Spacious seating and a large table allow for a great place to entertain family and friends and enjoy a meal with spectacular views.

Taking a tour of their production line up, a trip through the new Leopard 43 Powercat, is first on the agenda. Robertson & Caine built with a Simonis Voogd Design interior, this stunning Leopard 43 Powercat takes over the place of the Leopard 39 Powercat.

A true winner of hearts, the Leopard 51 Powercat’s new and improved elder, the Leopard 53 Powercat, is actually a 4th generation version and features all the popular 51 features and many more making it all a powercat dreams to be for its owner. This efficient, spacious, magnificent specimen embodies the lavishness of a motor yacht. Pure style and superb performance, she will be launched in 2020 in Miami, La Grande Motte, & Sydney.

The Leopard 50 was a huge success, winning awards, for their lounge version leading up to their Leopard 45 sweetie— being made available with a lounge in Fall 2020 which will include a seating area and sunbed.

Leopard 50 was made as a versatile replacement for the award-winning Leopard 48 (Boat of the Year 2012), the new Leopard 50 is an exciting new cruising, sailing catamaran available, now, with 2 exterior layout plans. The Leopard 50 boasts a spacious flybridge— unusually sweet for a boat in the 50 range.

Built by Robertson & Caine, the Leopard line’s flagship, the Leopard 58, is built to the highest standards. Offering various layouts, she is a favorite amongst the most discerning of center console buyers where amenities never seen before are aplenty!

40 years of customer recommendations led Leopard to contract Robertson and Caine to design the Leopards of today ensuring they cover all the customer ‘must haves’ such as being roomy, powerful and performance-based ocean going cruising catamarans. Being the only catamaran brand certified both in Europe and the Americas (NMMA Certified – ABYC Standards & CE Certified – CE Standards), all will be rest assured of safety. Over 1,800 Leopard cats have been delivered worldwide thanks to the fine standard that’s made owners decide they fit the bill.

Many will want to know where these fine products of exceptional quality were born, So we take a trip in time back to 1994, when South African builder, Robertson and Caine, decided to collaborate with one of the premier charter companies in the world at that time, The Moorings. They were enlisted to build special designed catamarans for their charter fleet. In just less than 4 years, the 100th catamaran was received by Robertson and Caine to The Moorings. Each one of the 100 vessels arrived on their own bottom proving their sea worthiness in every which way.

Hence, with the market demand, the launch of Leopard Catamarans happened in the year 2000. Customers flocked to purchase these wonderful sea going lovelies for their own private use and were pleased with the customization that could be had in every order placed.

In 2007 the power catamaran emerged with Leopard’s 47 power catamaran. Boasting of stellar fuel efficiency, the Leopard 47PC was all the rage. Next came the Leopard 37PC for those desiring a smaller powercat. Then in 2011 it was replaced by the Leopard 39PC. As we fall upon 2015, the Leopard 43PC took the main seat and finally, the Leopard 51PC replaced the Leopard 47PC encompassing lots of exciting features such as a forward cockpit.

Leopard Catamaran hit their 1000th vessel in 2012 proving they are quite a leader in the quality catamaran sector for private and charter fleets across the globe. Their dealership network includes 6 continents and 20 countries and growing. Rest assured— parts and expert advice is always close at hand! Don’t hesitate when dreaming of a Leopard Catamaran as this fine build will be sure to please and make those dreams come true!

The Leopard 42 is the new “baby” of the range now that Leopard have stopped producing the 40. Designed by Naval architects Simonis Voogd and built by South Africans Robertson and Caine, the new 42 sports the new boxy, muscly look but still manages to look sleek even with that forward cockpit overhang.

They have done a great design upgrade job here, and this new model is proving to be wildly popular with buyers. In a competitive market between boats like the Lagoon 55 and the Fountaine Pajot Isla 40, Leopard are punching above their weight with this cat.

This boat has evolved from the Leopard 45 and 50 models.

Lounge King

As well as the ever popular forward cockpit that is accessible directly from the saloon, the 42 has a fly-lounge (“coach-roof lounge”) with an L-Shaped setee and back-rest, plus a table giving you the benefit of an additional relaxation area without pushing the boom too high. This has inspired other manufacturers to follow suit (like the Excess 14 for example, which also has a lounge option). Sun Downer anyone? I don’t mind if I do…..

• Good value for money for a design that has evolved from years of customer and charter feedback
• The connected forward cockpit is a game changer for accessing the foredeck and windlass safely
• The fly-lounge is a neat compromise. More living space and the boom is still kept low
• The living space is huge. The Leopard 42 feels like a 48 footer.
• Decent performance for a cruising catamaran when the breeze freshens
• The Leopard is sluggish in light airs and will slip sideways close to the wind. You might need an engine to help if the wind drops off
• This yacht is definitely sleeker than her predecessor, but that forward cockpit overhang lends the boat a chunky look.
• There are some blind spots from the raised helm. You will need to duck and dive a bit coming in.
• With the overlapping genoa, she takes more effort to tack than other yachts that fly self tacking jibs.

This boat, like the 50 and the 45, looks like it could handle a sea and like a Fountaine Pajot, she is powered with a 110% overlapping genoa rather than a self tacking solent. What you lose in ease of tacking, you win in lighter airs. The mainsheet is configured in a bridle set up like a Catana (no traveller) which gives you lots of control in setting your sail shape.

The helm station is raised on the starboard side with all lines easily accessible. Visibility of all 4 corners of the boat is good from up here.

The sail plan should get you punching through the waves at 8 to 9 knots in a decent breeze, and with a Code 0 or gennaker flying off the bowsprit, she’s lively enough in calmer conditions. In a really light breeze, you might need to stick the leeward engine on like many cruising catamarans. That is your space/performance trade off.

If you opt for the Performance Pack (bigger Square Top Mainsail, Folding Props), you should squeeze an additional 1-2 knots out of her.

The Leopard 42 comes into her own when we start talking about living space. Up top, you are on one level all the way from the aft dining area through the saloon and into the forward cockpit through the forward door. The aft seat back-rest can be switched so that you are facing forwards or aft- a nice touch.

There are no seats in the 42 forward cockpit area unlike the 45, but big sunbeds with storage below for sails or a generator.

Up front, the 42 has crash-boxes in the hulls with watertight bulkheads forwards of the cabins.

The helm is situated on the main starboard bulkhead like many South African cats. There’s a hard bimini with a window overhead, so you can trim the mainsail. Head up from the helm at anchor and you are in the L-shaped fly-lounge.

The saloon has big wrap around windows and a skylight strip. The saloon sofa is set aft so that you are connected with the aft dining area, and the galley is placed forward. There is a nav station to port

The space and light continues down below. Like many production cats, the Lagoon 42 is available as a three-cabin owner’s version, with the master suite to starboard. The space down here is huge, from the wide berth all the way forward to the shower. Fibreglass bulkheads ensure a strong open structure in the hulls.

The cabins are larger and lighter then her predecessor.

There is also the charter configuration with four cabins and four heads. The Leopard 42 is big enough to soak up the extra berths and heads.

The saloon is also spacious with  sofas, a forward galley to starboard corner and a nav station to port. Headroom is now just over 2m, or 6ft 7in in the saloon.

One nice feature is the purifying tap in the galley which will help keep your plastic bottle count down to a minimum. Options include lithium batteries, a  generator, air conditioning, fresh water maker, solar and so on. You’ll have all of the usual difficult decisions to make when balancing your budget.

The standard set up is twin 45hp Yanmar diesels with sail drives that give a  cruising speed of around 8-9 knots in flat condition.

Leopard 42 Polar Diagram

This is a strong design update from Leopard and Simonis Voogd. It’s prettier than her predecessor, a solid looking boat that moves well in a decent breeze with market leading living space.

What is the price of a Leopard 42? How much does this catamaran cost? We will qualify this with the usual “it depends on your options”, but to give you a ball park sail away price with an average fit level, you are looking in the region of €600k  ($700k) plus taxes. You get a lot for your money with this cat.

SAILING RANGE

Power range, leopard 42 catamaran, the new leopard 42 has the unmistakable dna of the brand.

Proof that you can have it all. The Leopard 42 is the organic evolution into the new generation of our award-winning line of yachts.

Built by Robertson & Caine and designed by Naval Architects, Simonis & Voogd, together we have created a revolutionary design that has exceed expectations by offering far more than anticipated.

This was accomplished all while maintaining our signature balance of comfort and uncompromised performance.

The exterior styling has adapted to the modern appearance of the award-winning Leopard 50, which features continuous hull side windows, a continuous hardtop, and what has quickly become our signature, an upper-lounge area.

Available in 3 cabin / 3 heads and 4 cabin / 4 heads, all cabins include their own private en-suite heads. All heads include their own designated shower area; a feature not currently found on catamarans in this size range.

The Leopard 42 has the unmistakable DNA of a Leopard Catamaran with plenty of new technology and building techniques used to make it a magnificent ocean-going yacht with a feel of space, comfort and performance only previously found in significantly larger models.

In the saloon, we have added a generous skylight, as well and an additional window in the aft starboard corner facing the helm seat. The forward-facing L-shaped galley is sure to entice any chef!

All bunks are now island berths that allow access from both sides. With windows everywhere space permitted, the natural light is amplified.
