The Leopard 38 is the newest addition to the Leopard Catamaran litter of exceptional of cruising catamarans. She is focused on performance, comfort and offering an abundance of outdoor space. With her generous sail plan and hull design the Leopard 38 offers high performance yet is highly practical and easy-to-use. Inside, comfort as ever remains a top priority. The 3 cabin owner's version featues 2 spacious double cabins in the port hull while the entire starboard hull is dedicated to an owner's suite featuring double cabin, desk and seat, large head compartment, and plenty of storage. Generous headroom throughout plus substantial storage capacity as a result of under-bunk lockers in each cabin gives even more space for onboard relaxation. The exterior of the Leopard 38 is equally well thought out, with a large cockpit hardtop providing excellent shade and weather protection and a powerboat-style stepped transom enabling easier boarding. The vertical front windscreens give superb panoramic visibility, more effective use of interior volume as well as sun protection. Environmental considerations were also central to the design, with solar panels installed as standard on the helm hardtop to charge the onboard batteries. The base price is $269,000
