OVERVIEW:
The Leopard 46, designed by renowned multihull architects Morelli & Melvin and built by Robertson & Caine, is widely celebrated as a highly balanced blue water catamaran. It expertly blends swift, responsive sailing performance with robust liveaboard comfort.
The Leopard 46 achieves a balance between performance and comfort through the fine entry bows and stepped hulls, which feature a distinct longitudinal "step" or chine. This allows for a narrow waterline (less wetted surface area for speed) while flaring out above the waterline to maximize interior cabin volume. With a light displacement, the yacht handles offshore chop and waves beautifully without slamming.
The raised helm station is positioned a few steps above the cockpit; the elevated helm offers a great 360-degree view of the sails and has all lines and winches well within reach for easy short-handed sailing. The massive cockpit is shaded by a hardtop bimini and flows seamlessly into the salon. A unique, highly praised feature is the folding aft cockpit seat that lowers to create a swim platform or dinghy dock.
The salon is bright and airy, with large windows and excellent ventilation through strategically placed forward-opening ports.
The Leopard 46 is constructed with vacuum-bagged E-glass over a balsa core; it offers a strong but lightweight platform. It is praised for having better clearance than many of its contemporaries, preventing the jarring "slapping" from waves that can affect older catamarans. The engine compartments are easy to access, which is highly appreciated by owners who handle their own maintenance.
Moonshine has been under the care of the present owners since January 2020 and has sailed the southeast coast of the United States and the Bahamas. Prior to the current owners, Moonshine has traveled from Cape Town, South Africa to the Caribbean, to Maine and back to the Southeast US all on her own hulls. Moonshine has been thoughtfully upgraded and continuously maintained. Moonshine has brought the current owners many happy memories and helped them fulfill their dream. Moonshine is a capable, sturdy and safe catamaran. She is ready to fulfill the dreams of her next owners and take them safely and comfortably wherever they desire.
