The Leopard 42 has quickly established itself as one of the most popular cruising catamarans in its size class, building on Robertson & Caine's reputation for thoughtful, owner-focused design. With a forward cockpit, excellent all-around visibility, and a layout optimized for both passage-making and liveaboard comfort, the Leopard 42 appeals to cruisers who want serious capability without sacrificing modern conveniences. Her efficient hull form and manageable size make her an easy boat to handle short-handed, while her interior volume rivals catamarans several feet longer.
This 2023 example stands apart from the rest of the market. Privately owned and never chartered, she has been optioned and upgraded well beyond factory standard, with particular attention paid to her electrical system, navigation suite, and exterior comfort features. From a 1,200Ah lithium battery bank to electric sail-handling winches to a fully equipped Highfield tender, this Leopard 42 is configured for buyers who intend to spend real time aboard, whether at the dock, at anchor, or well offshore.
