New Leopard 50 Owner's Review now up at 'kats.co/50L'! Or head to our profile for the link. ?? Thanks to Sailing Dracarys for helping out. This is a good 'un with lots of useful insights on this boat or any cruising catamaran for that matter. ?? Here are some excerpts: ?? Kats: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your boat, Dracarys? SD: Dracarys is my first sailboat, and to date, I've taken her 14,000nm, including multiple trips between the Gulf side of Florida and the Chesapeake Bay, Mexico, and the Exumas. I ordered her after gaining a grand total of about three weeks of sailing experience - one week of ASA classes and two charters in the BVI. The largest boat I'd owned previously was a 23-foot wakeboarding boat. ?? Kats:What's she like in heavy weather / a blow / big seas? SD: The most severe weather I've experienced so far was a on a sail from Key West to Sarasota - about 30 hours. There was a small craft advisory issued; winds and waves were at about 50-60 degrees off the nose at around 30kts and nine feet, respectively. . To me, she felt like a bulldozer running through marshmallow fluff. I don't have the experience to know if that's normal, but I was very pleased! There was minimal creaking and banging. Overall, the boat gave me the impression that she didn't even notice the conditions. ?? Kats: What type of anchor/weight/chain length did you go for? SD: I chose a Rocna 40kg (88lb) anchor - I think it's the largest/heaviest anchor that fits without modifications to the anchor roller/mount area. For chain, I went with 240 feet of Maggi 10mm. Why a random number like 240 feet? Because that's what was available. ?? Kats: How was the buying process with Leopard or their dealer? SD: The buying process was uncomplicated and, for the most part, smooth. There's an options changes "lock out" date that wasn't communicated to me up front, so that created a tiny amount of stress, but all ended well. No question that I'd buy again. ?? ?? ?? #multihulls #leopardcatamarans #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #multihull #catamaran #sailinginstagram #multihullsailing #sailboat #katamarans #sailingcatamarans @leopardcatamarans #leopard50
