About the Leopard 44

At 13.37 m the Leopard 44 offers the space many owners want for long-term cruising or living aboard, while still being manageable by an experienced couple. Her beam of 7.04 m is typical for a cruising catamaran of this length.

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 44

• 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.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• 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.
