ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 50

2020 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 50 - 4 Cabin Version – Taco Cat

BUILDERS REMARKS: With versatility in mind, we bring to you the next generation of Leopard Catamarans, the Leopard 50. She has been designed to replace one of the best-selling Leopard Catamarans of all time, the award-winning Leopard 48.

The Leopard 50 has 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 also situated to still maintain contact with the helm station, an important feature found on all Leopard Catamarans.

BROKERS REMARKS: TACO CAT has the 4-cabin layout with the starboard aft cabin being the largest with walk in shower owners cabin layout. Being a 2020 model means it has not experienced any hurricane activity in her history and less overall usage with Covid down time last years. The forward cockpit and bright airy interior are the points that are most noted on viewing. This boat has the lighter ash interior and all the other great features of the 50. Forward seating area, lounge on the hardtop, Yanmar engines, Northern Lights generator and air conditioning. 

AVAILABILITY: Released from the fleet 31st July 2024.
