2018 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 45 – Cattyshack
Builder's Remarks: We are pleased to announce that the Leopard 45 has been awarded 2017 Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine. This marks the 7th Cruising World Boat of the Year win by Leopard. This year’s award was in the newly created Best Charter Catamaran category proving that South African Builders, Robertson and Caine, have perfected the art of not only creating the perfect boat but one that is perfectly suited for the charter industry as well.
The judging was done by a team of three independent industry experts, who conducted thorough dockside inspections and then carried out sea trials. The Leopard 45 proved to be the leader of the pack in all areas of the judging. What stood out in particular was her performance and innovation. Additionally, the judges were impressed by the amount of space provided by the forward cockpit, which is connected to the saloon through a translucent door. Another area of interest to the judges was the main saloon, which hosts a forward facing galley and dinette. The judges also noted that visibility through the Leopard 45 is excellent.
Broker's Remarks: "Cattyshack" is the first St Lucia based Leopard 45 we have on the market. As such this means there is no storm damage to the yacht. The 45 is arguably the best mid-sized cat across the board. For a yacht of this standard you'd be paying closer to one million, so this makes Cattyshack quite the bargain.
Availability: This yacht will finish the phase out in August in St Lucia and be ready to sail away. Priced aggressively for a closing in September.
