"Sophelle" is an Owner's Version of the award winning Leopard 48 built by Robertson and Caine in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Leopard 48 features a large forward cockpit seating area with direct access from the saloon door, unique to the Leopard range. Other exterior features include a large and open aft cockpit with large table. A raised helm station, providing panoramic visibility, allows for excellent blue water manoeuvrability, and connectivity with the crew aboard. The galley of the Leopard 48 comes equipped with top of the line appliances and ample prepping space. The expertly-designed interior makes sailing not only fun, but also incredibly comfortable. Her modern lines and open floor plan set a new standard for the modern cruising catamaran. The starboard hull is entirely dedicated to the Owners Suite in this 3 cabin layout. The walk around center line queen sized bed allows for easy side access with plenty of storage space in the passageway. The large master head features a stall shower with bench and a full height linen locker. The guest cabins are well lit, ventilated and offer excellent lighting and storage space. All guest cabins feature en-suite heads with separate stall showers, toilet and wash basin.
The clear and uncluttered deck layout of the Leopard 48 is emphasized by the recessed deck hatches. The sleek Leopard lines are easily recognized by the large teardrop shaped saloon and hull side windows, giving this yacht a very modern look and a source of organic light in the saloon and cabins.
Her modern lines, open floor plan and elegant internal finishes set a new standard for the modern cruising catamaran.
