The Leopard 52 is put to the test with a technical configuration that's out of the ordinary. This cruising catamaran makes the most of its volume, deck layout and optional hybrid motorization. We have analyzed this offshore-oriented program both underway and at anchor.
The essay is divided into four complementary sections. First, the genesis and program of this large catamaran. Then, the deck layout and ergonomics, with a circulation designed for crew and maneuvers. Then we look at performance under sail and power, with particular emphasis on the use of the Joool hybrid engine, with a focus on how it works and what it's really used for. Finally, its positioning in relation to the competition.
