This ‘Boat of the Year 2005’ from Cruising World magazine is a speedy, comfortable cruiser that can be run by a couple and still sleep 6. Guests will enjoy the large cockpit with outside dining area, protected by a functional hard-top bimini. The galley-up design incorporates a spacious saloon and aft facing galley with a cocktail bar and serving window overlooking the cockpit. This vessel had the 4 cabin layout; the previous owner converted the starboard forward cabin to an office space (Current owners have enjoyed using it for storage and as a work space). There are two large heads with separate shower stalls. Current owners have had her since 2018, cruising up and down the East Coast before shipping her to the Pacific Northwest. They have done tons of upgrades, and she is ready to cruise.
Some of the Upgrades & Features:
Cruising World’s Boat of the Year Winner in 2005:
“The sailhandling center by the helm should become an industry standard,” Bill noted. And Alvah loved the safety aspects: “By bringing the sail controls all to one spot, you take a lot of the stress out of handling the boat in rough conditions when sailing shorthanded.” Missing handholds and bad ergonomics, his pet peeves, were pleasantly absent. “It felt safe moving around, and every time I put out my hand, there was something to grab.” Tom was pleased with the interior arrangements and the engine-access hatch at the top of the transom steps. “You can drop right in there and work around the edges.”
Cruising Helmsman Magazine:
This is a top-quality catamaran in terms of looks and workmanship and also a boat that can give you a real thrill under sail. I’ll never forget zooming along at seven knots plus to windward with a glass of chardonnay in one hand, the other lightly on the wheel and – best of all – sitting dead level on a comfortable seat while doing it.

Various other upgrades:
Engines service history (following replacement May 2019):
Cockpit and Aft Deck:
There is a large fiberglass roof covering the whole cockpit, which is fully enclosed. To Port is a large settee with a table for six, and to starboard is a long settee with storage, and forward, up to steps is the helmstation. Opening the sliding doors to the interior, you can flip the end of the bar into the cockpit.
Helm Station:
Helm station is to starboard, and elevated. It is protected by the overhead fiberglass roof, with a sliding panel above the entire helm to open things up. There is a front izenglass panel to cover from spray. Two winches to the right of the helm are for open and closing the Genoa, trimming sails and handling the traveller.
Electronics (Helm Station):
Hull:
Mast, Rigging and Sails:
Asymmetrical Spinnaker (Wingaker) - Wingaker P10-112 Square meters. Kite-style, like Parasail, asymmetrical spinnaker, with sock. (Added Sept 2019) Interior Description and Features
This Leopard 40 was formerly a 4 cabin, 2 head layout with mirrored hulls, but the port side forward cabin has been converted by the previous owner into an office space. The current owners have found it very useful as a storage cabin, tool storage with surfaces to do work on, and love this extra space.
Salon:
“Onboard life centers around the cockpit and salon. The Leopard scores here with oversized sliding doors that virtually eliminate the boundary between the two areas. Large forward-facing saloon windows provide excellent light and visibility; exterior louvers provide shade and steps up to the top of the coachroof. Cooks and helmsmen alike will love the well-equipped galley up on the bridgedeck. It’s hinged countertop opens adjacent to the helmsman and is directly connected to the countertop in the galley. Galley crew and simply slide lunch down the counter.” - Sail Magazine
Galley:
Starboard Hull - Aft Cabin:
Starboard Hull - Storage Cabin:
Formerly this was a cabin, but was converted by previous owner into an office and storage space. Current owners have found great use for it as tool and gear storage, using the fitted tables as work benches as needed. Could be converted back to berth.
Port Hull - Forward Cabin:
Port Hull - Aft Cabin:
Port Head:
Both Port and Starboard head are identical and located midship. Entrance is from the corridor, equal distance from forward and aft cabins, or down two steps from salon.
Starboard Head:
Overhead ventilation hatch Electrical and Mechanical
Mechanical:
Both engines replaced in May 2019. Exhaust cans, fuel system, electrical wiring, alternators, control panels at helm, props all updated at the same time.
Engines Service history (following replacement May 2019):
Oil changed after 50 hours and then every 150 hours
Racors changed when vacuum gauge shows them clogging.
Coolant on both engines last changed July 2020.
Engine anodes changed every 3 months.
Portable watermaker - Rainman PSU-11-1300. Runs on AC, Draws 1,300 watts (runs off of the inverter) Safety
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
