Leopard 52 Catamaran | The Live | Multihulls World

► Ordinarily, new Leopard models are first presented in the United States, but this time, the Cannes Yachting Festival is charged with hosting the new Leopard 52, the replacement for the 50, for its first viewing by the public. This catamaran has been designed to satisfy both owners and charterers with layouts incorporating 3 to 6 cabins. The 52 retains the watertight forward door introduced in 2010 but features a fully open saloon and aft cockpit. Efforts have been made to optimize performance with a 17% increase in sail area compared to the 50 and a slightly lower weight (around 183 lbs/83 kg less). In terms of price, it’s a bit the opposite: €30,000 more compared to the price of the Leopard 50 at the end of 2024 – but then you do gain two feet! It will feature the Forever Green label in our upcoming Buyer’s Guide, as owners will benefit from integrated solar panels (1,600 Wp) on each boat, a lithium battery bank, and the Joool electric propulsion system already available on the Leopard 46. The manufacturer also offers a fully electric galley and equipment. After Cannes, the Leopard 52 will be presented for the first time in the United States at the Annapolis Boat Show in October. This new flagship will be available for charter and charter-management with The Moorings under the name Moorings 5200. ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Robertson & Caine Architects: Simonis Voogd Design Length overall: 51’8” (15.75 m) Waterline length: 50’3” (15.31 m) Beam: 26’9” (8.16 m) Draft: 5’4” (1.62 m) Air draft: 81’1” (24.71 m) Light displacement: 45,232 lbs (20.52 t) Mainsail: 1,055/1,141 sq ft (98/106 m²) Genoa: 757 sq ft (70.3 m²) Engines: 2 x 57 HP Fuel: 237 US gal (900 l) Water: 185 US gal (700 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 600 multihulls tests!
