Full equipment including Genset (approx 350 hours!) Air Conditioning, Custom Cockpit upholstery, Powered Winches, Raymarine Electronics, Solar, Watermaker, and all systems kept to a very high standard. Highly detailed service and maintenance records included. 2021 Highfield 360 RIB tender and Yamaha 15hp outboard motor included.
This Owners version Leopard 48 has had two owners since new. It was shipped from the factory to the great lakes, where it spent the first part of its life in Fresh Water. It was then delivered down to the Gulf of Mexico where it has been cruised around Florida and the Bahamas in the winter seasons, and stored in a hurricane safe location in Georgia in summers. Sellers just completed their dream cruise through the Bahamas and Caribbean islands, and a life change now forces a sale.
Summer storage has been arranged at a high end marina in Grenada, including caretaking, regular maintenance, and cleaning.
The first buyer to see “Valerie” WILL buy her. Make your cruising dreams a reality now!
Additional Details
Introduction
S/V Valerie is an exceptional Leopard 48 not only is she the best maintained and upgraded example out there, but she is the only FRESH WATER leopard 48. This vessel spent the first 6 years of its life on the great lakes and it shows everywhere.
Then her current owner has meticulously maintined and upgraded systems while carefully cruising the boat.
This boat has:
Never hit by lightning Never chartered Never sailed without owner on-board Never had any impact incident or insurance claim No engine issues requiring repair No rigging issues No repairs to bottom keels No damage to props
Come see her today and sail away!

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)
Main Sail Area: 90.8m2 /977 sq.ft.
