2004 Robertson & Caine - Leopard 62
US$795,000. Location: Barbados
This is the last Leopard 62 of only 4 to be built in Capetown, South Africa by Robertson and Caine. This was a new generation of flybridge catamarans designed by the renowned Alex Simonis and its still a very sought after catamaran. These boat are known for their very respectable sailing abilities and they were designed with features not often found on large flybridge catamarans: dagger boards, large folding propellors and a powerful sail plan providing good performance both up and downwind. Two upgraded Yanmar 240 hp engines provide excellent propulsion and maneuverability whilst under power.
This vessel is particularly well designed and laid out for shorthanded sailing/cruising/chartering – with electric winches for sail handling, and with most controls at the helm station on the flybridge, she is a pleasure to control.
Accommodations are expansive and extremely well thought out with 5 x ensuite guest cabins which benefit from plenty of natural light, double beds, en-suite facilities and air conditioning. The air conditioned Salon has an inviting airy interior boasting large panoramic windows, 2 generous sofas, coffee table, formal dining table and a complete wet bar with pass through window to the spacious exterior cockpit. The main cockpit is shaded and boasts plenty of comfortable seating, an alfresco dining option and the wet bar. Guest accommodation is in the port and starboard hulls.
She has had many upgrades and recent improvements, featuring but not limited to, new sails, trampolines, custom hardtop, instruments. These boats are well respected as crewed charter boats and if a new buyer was interested it is possible to discuss putting this boat into a Virgin Islands fleet where another 62 is already working.
