Leopard Catamarans, with its partners The Moorings and Sunsail, have been very well established in the catamaran rental business for years. This success continues in the sailing sector and is increasingly being extended to the powercat sector. To meet this demand - but also that of owners - Leopard launched the 53 PC, then last year the 46 PC and now the 40 PC, which replaces the 43 PC.
The first characteristic of this new model is of course its size, a little smaller. This is not a trivial element, since with this 40-footer, the brand intends to attract first-time buyers, but it also offers a more economical and easier-to-maneuver alternative for rental.
The same level of comfort as a larger unit
The idea of the 40-footer is also to propose the same level of comfort as on a larger unit, and so we naturally find many elements already present in other models of the range.
To carry out this mission, the brand called on Alexander Simonis, a well-known naval architect.
A solid, contemporary silhouette
At first glance, the family resemblance is obvious. There is a stocky - but not so massive - silhouette, a large wheelhouse set back a bit and a prominent flybridge topped by a T-top.
Added to this are the long hull portholes and the wide-open aft cockpit, elements that unmistakably recall the 46 PC. Quite high, the nacelle is also voluminous because it embeds a number of storage compartments.
