LEOPARD 42 Catamaran - Boat Review Teaser - Multihulls World

► Full test in Multihulls World #177: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/leopard-42-an-efficient-and-affordable-catamaran ► Forward door and lounge area In the spirit of the 45 and the 50, the new Leopard 42 offers the best compromise between comfort and performance by keeping a powerful sail plan - overlapping genoa, square-topped mainsail (option) - and hulls with pronounced chines. This model has been designed to accommodate 8 people without restrictions thanks to its volume and its load capacity of nearly 4 tons. There’s the same generosity in terms of tank capacity. The 42 remains faithful to the forward door between the saloon and the foredeck, but offers a lounge on the coachroof, within reach of the raised helm station and with dedicated access. All sail maneuvers are accessible to the helmsman so as to facilitate short- or single-handed sailing. Inside, the yard has retained the concept of the galley being forward in the saloon and facing forward, as with the chart table. All berths (in 3 or 4-cabin version and the same number of bathrooms) are accessible from the sides. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Robertson & Caine Architect: Simonis & Voogd Design Length: 41’7” (12.67 m) Beam: 23’1” (7.04 m) Draft: 4’7” (1.40 m) Displacement: 26,100 lbs (11,840 kg) Standard sail area: 1,255 sq ft (116.6 m²) Mainsail: 755 sq ft (70.1 m²) Genoa: 500 sq ft (46.5 m²) Engines: 2 x 45 hp Fuel capacity: 158 US gal (600 l) Water: 174 US gal (660 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
