The new Leopard 46 sailing catamaran represent a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Leopard 45. Building upon the successful DNA of Leopard catamarans, this new model offers a spacious, robust, and high-performing cruising experience.
While retaining the core elements that made the Leopard 45 so popular, the Leopard 46 introduces numerous innovations to enhance comfort, convenience, and sustainability. The layout has been refined to provide a seamless integration between the aft cockpit and saloon, allowing for flexible living spaces. The elimination of the skipper cabin has made way for more spacious accommodations, including a choice of three cabins plus a utility room, a four cabin layout, or five double cabins, all with ensuite head/showers.
Available with two standard 45hp Yanmar diesel engines (or optional upgraded 57hp versions), the Leopard 46 also ushers in a new era of sustainability with the optional HYBRID ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM: The system includes a power management box, electric propulsion pod, high-voltage lithium-ion battery, solar array, and range-extending generator. The boat’s power can be sourced from solar panels, sailing regeneration, shore power, and a range extender. The system can manage charging and discharging, providing power for both propulsion and house loads. Testing shows speeds over 8 knots and regeneration capabilities up to 1.8 KW per hour per hull.
Whichever power option you choose, when it comes to sailing performance, the Leopard 46 excels. The stepped hulls and powerful rig with overlapping genoa provide superior handling in all wind conditions. The protected helm station is designed for offshore single-handed sailing, making it ideal for long-distance voyages.
In conclusion, the Leopard 46 represents a significant advancement in cruising catamarans. With its spacious layout, innovative features, and commitment to sustainability, it offers a comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable sailing experience for both novice and experienced sailors alike.
