You are invited to the Leopard Catamarans display for Sydney's first look at the astonishing new Leopard 50 Sailing Catamaran.

This brand new model breaks the mould for large cruising catamarans, because for the first time on a Leopard Catamaran of this size, an optional flybridge is offered.

The Leopard 50L model is the ideal layout for anyone looking for more outdoor living space, as she comes equipped with a flybridge that includes a lounge area, table, sunbed and optional exterior speakers and shade awning. Access is provided by floating stairs leading up from the aft cockpit. An important distinction compared to similar sailboat flybridge configurations is that while under sail, passengers can move about the flybridge with ample headroom, and never worry about interference from the boom. The flybridge is situated to allow family and guests to still maintain contact with the skipper at the helm station, an important feature that is found on all Leopard Catamarans.

The entire exterior styling of the Leopard 50 has also been remodelled to give the hull a more sophisticated look. In addition to the exterior options, the spacious, stylish and elegant interior offers multiple layout configurations with 4 or 5 cabins, and an extensive options list.

When it comes to performance the Leopard 50 delivers. For exhilarating sailing, whether coastal cruising or crossing oceans, the Leopard Sailing Catamarans have an enviable record. Particularly when fitted with the offered squaretop mainsail and other available performance-orientated rigging and sail options.

In addition to the Leopard 50, you will be able to take a tour of the Leopard 40 Sailing Catamaran, and both the popular Leopard 43 Powercat and the outstanding Leopard 51 Powercat.
