Leopard sailing catamaran
Space · Performance · Comfort — 2025 Multihull of the Year
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.

- 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


“Space, performance, comfort — forty-six feet of blue-water grace.”
