"Paradigm Shift' represents the best deal currently available for a highly sought after Leopard 46 in the US. She is hull # 184 splashed in January of 2012, one of the last Leopard 46 ever built. There is room for the whole family in her efficient 4 cabin / 4 head layout. Paradigm Shift has benefited from diligent owners who preformed a rigorous maintenance program and made continuous upgrades. She is in turn key condition and ready to go cruising!
Focused on blue water performance and comfortable living, the award winning Leopard 46 is really the perfect platform for family adventures. From the design table of Morrelli and Melvin and the factory floor of Cape Town's Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 46 offers the pedigree serious offshore sailors have come to expect. She features a spacious and well-thought out layout. A large raised helm station offers easy access to the cockpit and side deck which allows for shorthanded sailing while not separating helmsman from family and friends. There's loads of interior space, comfortable cabins with generously sized en suites heads, and an expansive cockpit that's prefect for entertaining.
No history of hurricane damage or lightning strikes!
