A real deep water cruiser...
STRONGLY BUILT & WELL EQUIPPED - 2003 LEOPARD 38 Owner's Version
"Astral Wind" is hull #58 one of the last Leopard 38s ever built. These boats were delivered to the Caribbean on their own bottom - that is how much trust Leopard had in these robust catamarans. This is a sought after vintage.
