40' Leopard 40

Best Boat 2005 Sailing Magazine Best Multihull 40 and under Cruising world
The boat has had three owners in the past and spent most of its life off the coast of Southern Africa.
The original owner is a naval architect and worked with Robertson and Caine to improve a few flaws
on the vessel. One of the biggest improvements is the mainsail arch that changed from three pieces
to a solid arch that is now also found in all the later models. Another improvement was enlarging the
rudders that significantly improved sailing upwind.
The second owner was an avid fisherman and made a few of his own modifications. The large
fiberglass davits were removed and replaced with 316 stainless tube davits connected to a new
pushpit. The transom steps have been enclosed by semi-permanent boxes that are set up as live
bait boxes with a gate, enlarging the cockpit area and improving safety while fishing and/or sailing.
