Overview

Pure Leopard DNA in a blue-water sailor

The Leopard 46 is a superior sailing catamaran featuring a solid, assertive design that embodies pure Leopard DNA. With a taller mast and optional performance Aramid Sport sail rig she carries 15% more sail area, including upgraded running rigging for ease of manoeuvring — delivering superior performance in all wind conditions, while stepped hulls allow effortless steerage on a well-balanced helm laid out for one-handed sailing.

Propulsion comes from standard Yanmar diesel engines or an integrated electric thrust option combining sustainable solar, prop regeneration and a range-extending generator, seamlessly managed through proven lithium storage technologies. In 2025 the Leopard 46 was named Cruising World Boat of the Year and Multihull of the Year.

  • Optional Aramid Sport rig with 15% more sail area
  • Raised helm platform with lounging helm seat for one-handed sailing
  • Yanmar diesel or integrated electric drive options
  • 3/4/5-cabin layouts, owner's suite over 60% of the starboard hull
