About the Leopard 39 Powercat

At 11.8 m the Leopard 39 Powercat is a mid-size power catamaran for coastal cruising and longer holidays aboard. The twin-hull layout gives stability at anchor and a lot of living space for the length. With a beam of 5.2 m she is comparatively narrow for a catamaran (44 % of her length), which can make finding a marina berth easier. A draft of only 0.9 m lets her reach shallow anchorages that keelboats cannot use.

Leopard catamarans are built by Robertson and Caine in Cape Town, South Africa, and most are designed by Simonis Voogd. Many Leopards have sailed in large charter fleets, so ex-charter versions are common on the used market.

Buying a used Leopard 39 Powercat

• Standing rigging older than about ten years is often questioned by insurers – check its age.
• Ask when the saildrive seals were last replaced and check the engines’ service history.
• Ask for the hours and service records of both engines and check the running gear.
• Many Leopard boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
