2008 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 46 - Firefly
BUILDERS REMARKS: The Leopard 46/Moorings 4600 is the accumulation of 30 years charter experience by the Moorings and 1000 catamarans built by Robertson and Caine. No other mid forty foot catamaran matches the interior space, walk around beds, separate stall showers with excellent sailing performance and ease of maintenance.
BROKERS REMARKS: FIREFLY was launched in 2008, and has had a refit in 2016 to a high standard, then for the past four years there have been countless upgrades, including a top of line water maker, and generator. Being a crewed yacht, the yacht is very well maintained, and the owners took the approach of an open check book during their happy ownership. Having sold many Leopard 46’s over the years, this is by far the best example of this vintage. There are countless upgrades to this yacht, well beyond what you normally see on Leopard 46, which makes this yacht a truly turn key package. The owner is very motivated to sell Firefly, so please enquire for details.
AVAILABILITY: Available now.

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)
