Leopard 45 Fan Sea

2020 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 45 – Fan Sea

Builder's Remarks: The Leopard 45 has been awarded 2017 Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine. This marks the 7th Cruising World Boat of the Year win by Leopard. This year’s award was in the newly created Best Charter Catamaran category, proving that South African Builders, Robertson and Caine, have perfected the art of creating the perfect boat for the charter industry.

The judging was conducted by a team of three independent industry experts, who performed thorough dockside inspections and sea trials. The Leopard 45 excelled in all areas of the judging, particularly in performance and innovation. The judges were particularly impressed by the spacious forward cockpit, connected to the saloon through a translucent door. The main saloon features a forward-facing galley and dinette, with excellent visibility noted throughout the Leopard 45.

Broker's Remarks: "Fan Sea" is a 2020 Leopard 45 based in Nassau. This yacht has completed its final charter and is ready for a refit before being sailed away. Enjoy the pristine waters of the Bahamas or take her on a short sail back to the USA. Viewing is recommended.

Additional Details

The Leopard 45 sailing catamaran is built on the ethos of continuous innovation and feedback from cruising clients. It represents astute value, elegant lines, and satisfies blue water passion.

With naval architecture by Simonis & Voogd Yacht Design, and exterior and interior design by the world-class team at Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 45 not only builds on the best features of the current Leopard range but also offers new exterior styling and enhanced interior accommodation.

The exterior styling has evolved from the more curvaceous deck features of the current Leopard range into a sharper, more angular look, topped by a sleek new saloon hardtop extending from the aft cockpit to the forward cockpit.

Available in a 3 or 4 cabin layout, the Leopard 45 provides the perfect entertainment package with an increased aft area, ergonomically designed open plan saloon and galley, larger forward cockpit, and more onboard area.

She’s sleek and nimble yet comfortable, incorporating a heritage of Leopards spanning twenty-five years of production expertise.

The Leopard 45’s increased area, ergonomically designed open plan saloon and galley, increased forward cockpit, and more onboard area make her ideal for guest entertaining and long-range cruising.

Onboard entertaining is enhanced with ample dining space and forward-facing L-shaped seating communicating directly with the galley. Wide sliding saloon doors provide panoramic views towards the stern, allowing the interior saloon to flow naturally towards the outside aft and forward cockpit.

The boat is flooded with natural light during the day and illuminated by subtle hidden lighting after sunset, with individual spotlights highlighting certain areas.

Designed for a modern blue water lifestyle, the Leopard 45 features a raised helm station covered by a hardtop bimini, with direct access from the cockpit and side deck. All sailing lines lead to easily accessible winches, with primary winches being electric and operated by footswitches.

In summary, the Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran delivers uncompromised, exceptional build quality, new sleek styling, a sensible and practical layout, sailing comfort across all sea states, and features innovative technologies and multiple entertainment areas.
