Leopard 46

The Leopard 46’s task is to replace the 45, which was a huge success for the brand - 368 units were sold. It’s no easy task to succeed an icon, and Robertson & Caine (builder of Leopard catamarans) drew on its experience and customer feedback to optimize the multihull’s layout and performance.

The idea was also to create an open concept, with a very bright main deck that was truly open to the rest of the boat.
