Quality Construction
Hulls are vacuum bag constructed using the latest in GRP and balsa sandwich coring techniques which provide exceptional strength to weight ratios, and better compression and impact resilience than other cores. End-grain balsa has excellent glass to core bonding properties, minimizing core delamination. Premium multi and uni-directional E glass stitched fabric provides greater strength and better resin to glass ratio than conventional fiberglass. The resin is isophthalic polyester and the gelcoat is NPG isophthalic, one of the most osmotic-resistant materials available. The hull-to-deck joint is adhesive bonded, through-bolted, and fiberglass tabbed at structural bulkheads.
The hulls are designed by renowned multihull architects Simonis-Voogd Design and Morrelli & Melvin, combining excellent performance and load carrying capacities, and providing an exceptional bluewater cruising platform.
The Leopard’s sleek profile help windward performance unlike square and high sided boat models. Stepped hull chins increase interior space without giving up performance. Fore and aft collision bulkheads limit water intrusion in the event of a compromised hull. Sacrificial keels protect the integrity of the hulls in the event of a serious grounding and allow for quick repairs or replacement.
Exterior Design Features
The standard cockpit bimini hardtop provides plenty of protection and outdoor living space at no charge. An oversized helm station provides excellent visibility and is protected in the cockpit. The spacious deck and cockpit areas are designed to be user-friendly and easily maintained. Single level cockpit design assures everyone is included in the party. Ingeniously locating the mainsheet traveler overhead on the “targa arch” clears the cockpit for superior comfort and safety, provides a permanent support for the bimini, and opens up direct access from the cockpit to the aft platform, great for swimming, diving or boarding a dinghy.
Strong louvered slats fitted over the sloping saloon windows facilitate easy and safe access to the roof and boom and provide shade in the main saloon.
A sail “stack pack” system, double purchase halyards, mast track and slide system make raising and lowering the fully battened mainsail surprisingly easy. The electric windlass can also double as a halyard winch.
A vast two-ply laminated bow trampoline makes the fore deck a more comfortable and enjoyable place to relax than conventional deck webbing and bow seats are fitted as standard.
Interior Design Features
The large galley-up saloon allows for comfortable living and entertainment. The galley features large refrigeration and storage compartments. The staterooms and heads are large with excellent storage.
Superior ventilation is provided by an exceptional number of ports and large hatches.
The modular fiberglass construction of the interior provides structural integrity and easy maintenance unlike the properties of wood and wood-veneers. The headliners are also easily maintained and removable. The construction materials and design features through out the yacht are chosen with the idea of easy maintenance so you can enjoy the boat not work on it.
