About the LEOPARD 44
Main Sail Area: 76m2 /818 sq.ft. Genoa Area: 47m2 /506 sq.ft.
Designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built by Robertson and Caine, the Leopard 44 was produced from 2011–2016. This catamaran is characterized by its fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar and twin/triple keel configuration, offering a displacement of 27811.0 lb and a beam of 23.79 ft.
- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, spacious platform for extended weekend trips or moderate offshore passages, given its high comfort ratio of 15.07 and widespread adoption of solar and watermaker systems for self-sufficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.14 and a displacement of 27811.0 lb, the Leopard 44 demonstrates solid offshore stability, though owners frequently upgrade to robust anchoring systems like Quick and Rocna to enhance safety in remote waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, as they share similar production eras, fractional sloop rigs, and target the same market of owners seeking large, stable catamarans for cruising.
