About the LEOPARD 39
An updated version of the LEOPARD 38. Same hull and deck molds. Upgrades from the 38 are a continuous hardtop and raised helm station.
Designed by Morelli & Melvin and built by Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 39 was produced from 2011–2014. This catamaran features a fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar and offers a comfortable cruising experience, though owners report specific structural maintenance needs.
- Best for:
- The Leopard 39 is well-suited for coastal and offshore cruisers seeking a stable, comfortable platform, particularly those interested in long-term liveaboard or bluewater passages given the high prevalence of watermaker and solar panel installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 20120.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.91, the Leopard 39 demonstrates strong offshore stability and seaworthiness, supported by owner reports of extensive bluewater equipment like watermakers and wind generators.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 380 and Fountaine-Pajot Astrea 42, as they share similar production eras, catamaran hull forms, and target the same market of comfortable, performance-oriented cruisers.
