About

DESCRIPTION: Come sail the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef prior to heading further afield. What a great place to start your next adventure aboard this fantastic yacht. This Australian Registered Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran delivers un-compromised, exceptional build quality throughout, sleek styling, a sensible and practical layout, sailing comfort across all sea states, and features innovative technologies and multiple entertainment areas. 
She has full wrap around panoramic windows, a saloon size overhead skylight and enlarged hull windows. The interior design is modern and simple with an elegant, light finish and grey accent panels. The increased volume of the saloon provides ample space for onboard entertaining and remote cruising as current owners can attest to. 
The exterior styling has evolved into a sharper, more angular look, topped by a sleek new saloon hard top, which extends from the aft cockpit to the forward cockpit. Spacious, practical and protected from the sun, the aft deck offers the perfect entertainment area with its ample seating and a clear natural flow through the open plan saloon. Accessible via a weather tight door, the forward cockpit provides safe access to the fore deck and trampoline. Additionally, the forward cockpit allows for superior ventilation naturally throughout the boat. 
Having been set up for offshore cruising with large watermaker and loaded with solar through to the Lithium house batteries, you wont be wanting for anything. 
The yacht was delivered new to Fremantle late 2017 and only had one owner couple who have meticulously maintained and cared for their yacht and never sailed outside of Australian waters.
