2017 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 48 – Bare Necessities

BUILDERS REMARKS: The award-winning Leopard 48 offers blue water performance and comfortable living spaces; this catamaran is a popular member of the Leopard line.

The Leopard 48 features a large forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon and a stairway to the forward platform. Other exterior bonuses include a large and open aft cockpit with cockpit table. A raised helm station, providing excellent panoramic visibility, allows for excellent blue water maneuverability.

The galley of the Leopard 48 comes equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and ample prepping space. The expertly-designed interior makes sailing not only fun, but also incredibly comfortable. Her modern lines and open floor plan set a new standard for the modern cruising catamaran.

BROKERS REMARKS: BARE NECESSITIES is located in St Lucia and has not experienced any hurricane activity in her history. The forward cockpit and bright airy interior are the points that are most noted on viewing. This boat has the lighter ash interior and all the other great features of the 48.
