3/3 owners version

Low hours

Broker comments: This Leopard 48 was custom ordered with pretty much all available factory options, then fitted with after-market equipment, and over the years since launch she was constantly upgraded and updated as necessary. Maintained with an open check book, and superbly outfitted. Just 2 owners since new. 

Under 600 engine hours, low hours on generator, washer / dryer,  center console RIB with 25HP  Yamaha, 3kW solar, 1340 A Lithium batteries, in-boom furler, electric genoa furler, bow sprit and code 0, folding props, recent bottom job, Rocna anchor & spare anchor, water-maker, washer/dryer, custom storage in salon and much much more! 

More broker’s comments: The Leopard 48 has become classic in the world of cruising catamarans, and the ‘owners version’ is very much sought after. The L48 is one of the first Leopard models to feature the forward door / cockpit for ease of access and salon ventilation. The Leopard 48 is known for ease of maintenance, great storage and sailing speed. Not many people know that the Leopard 48 still holds the Leopard record for the passage time from Cape town to Fort Lauderdale, back in 2014 one of the first hulls had an average speed of just over 8 knots over 9,000 miles! This particular Leopard 48 is one of the best I have seen in a while and represents excellent value for money.
