Leopard Catamarans unveils revolutionary Leopard 46

by Leopard Catamarans 13 Sep 2024 09:28 PDT

Leopard Catamarans, a world-renowned leader in sailing and power catamarans, is excited to introduce its latest model: the Leopard 46.

This innovative sailing catamaran marks a bold advancement in design, technology, and comfort, establishing a new standard for excellence in the industry.

"The Leopard 46 is a testament to Leopard Catamarans and Robertson and Caine's commitment to engineering excellence and elevated onboard living," stated Franck Bauguil, Global Sales Manager at Leopard Catamarans. "We have meticulously designed and built a vessel that not only delivers exceptional performance but also provides an unparalleled level of luxury and comfort."

The Leopard 46 features a sleek, contemporary exterior design inspired by our powercat lineage. Its wraparound coachroof windows offer breathtaking panoramic views and flood the interior with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The innovative companionway sliding door, which fully retracts behind the helm station, effortlessly connects the saloon and aft cockpit, offering versatile spaces perfect for relaxation and entertainment. Unlike other designs, our solution maintains the full functionality and comfort of two distinct spaces, even when the door is closed.

"The design of the Leopard 46 is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence," said Michael Robertson, Chief Designer at Leopard Catamarans. "We've carefully considered every detail to ensure that this vessel not only looks stunning but also provides a truly exceptional sailing experience."

Key features of the Leopard 46 include:

  • Hybrid electric drive option for sustainable and efficient cruising
  • Integrated solar panels for increased autonomy and reduced reliance on generators
  • Spacious and versatile interior layout with 3-cabin + utility room, four cabins, or 5-cabin configurations
  • Seamless integration of the aft cockpit and interior saloon with several choices of tables and furniture configuration inside and outside
  • Enhanced performance with a taller mast and optional performance sail package
  • Optional lifting tender platform for easy access and convenience
  • Luxurious and inviting interior with premium materials and finishes

The Leopard 46 will make her worldwide debut at the United States Sailboat show in Annapolis, Maryland in October and the EU premiere will be at International Multihull Show, France in April 2025. For more information, please visit www.leopardcatamarans.com.

The Leopard 46 is also available through charter yacht management programs with The Moorings and Sunsail.

The Moorings 4600 and Sunsail 465 feature a 5-cabin layout with standard engines.
