Yacht Introduction & Description
About the Leopard Build:
The Leopard 46model offers performance, spacious accommodations and a focus on outdoor living which are leading features of this new model, built by Robertson and Caine, Cape Town, and designed by Morrelli and Melvin, architects of high performance cats.
Built using the latest technology and materials, this catamaran integrates an open-plan layout with exceptional interior volume, offering a comfortable cruiser that combines excellent load carrying capacity with superior performance levels.
Inspired by the flagship Leopard 62, a raised helm station is located in the hard top roof with open access to the cockpit and all controls lead aft for excellent visibility, resulting in a cat that is extremely easy to sail, even with a limited crew.
The Leopard 46’s overall performance and ease of handling has earned it ‘Boat of the Year’ nominations from Cruising World magazine and acclaim in the international sailing press.
Leopard Construction:
Robertson and Caine use the most advanced composite GRP sandwich construction incorporating a vacuum bonded balsa core, providing high compression and impact resistance. E glass stitched fabric ensures maximum strength, a no crimp factor and ensures a very good resin to glass ratio.
The hull joints are solid fiberglass. The hull deck joint is bonded and through bolted, with additional glass at strategic stress points to ensure maximum strength. Bulkheads are bonded to the hull.
Isophthalic gelcoat and resin rich tissue helps prevent osmosis. The hull laminate is light and durable resulting in a dynamic weight carrying capacity and excellent motion reaction of the hull, yet is also strong for ease of mind.
This Leopard 46:
'Heatseeker' presents all the top features sailors desire, including blue water capability, great performance, solid construction, a superb anchoring system, excellent ventilation, high quality equipment, large tank capacities and hard top covered open cockpit.
The owner of 'Heatseeker' has taken further steps to enhance the standard equipment package adding many custom extras including generator, air conditioning (a detailed list to follow)
A mooring in Tai Tam, Hong Kong, can be arranged on a month by month basis for a potential buyer for this catamaran if needed, with the opportunity to then locate a more permanent berth.
Interior Features & Layout
Large windows provide panoramic views and allow natural light to flood in.
Opening hatches add to the comfort of this important living area.
Accommodations:
In the 3 cabin layout, there are two guest cabins with en suite heads in the port hull, while the starboard hull is entirely dedicated to the owner, with a large master cabin, lounge area and private bathroom forward, with attractive cherry finishing throughout.
Each guest cabin has been thought out with practicality and comfort as a premium. Well ventilated with opening hatch and ports, there is plenty of storage and excellent lighting, with adjustable reading lights and full size hanging lockers with shelving.
The forward guest cabin also features a storage area in the forepeak convertible to a single berth.
Two spacious heads with separate shower stalls serve the two guest cabins and each feature a Corian washbasin with mixer tap, large separate shower stall, mirrored vanity unit and oversized marine toilet.
Located aft, the master stateroom features a large double berth, book shelf, discrete reading lights, a tall hanging locker and plentiful shelving for clothing and personal items, all in a luxurious cherry finish. Two opening hatches and two opening ports provide excellent ventilation and luminosity. The 3 cabin layout incorporates a separate study/lounge area with an ultra modern faux leather settee, desk, reading light, overhead cabinet and dedicated hanging locker with shelf.
For extra sleeping options, the saloon coffee table converts to a double berth
Internal Navigation Station:
The navigation station with large chart table and optional remote auto pilot, is positioned to starboard. The upgraded instrumentation panel houses navigation instruments, CD/radio stereo system and VHF.
Galley
A softly curved Corian cocktail bar overlooks the adjoining cockpit area, enabling the two areas to be easily accessed
Fully equipped, the compact galley features a standard stainless steel stove with oven and stove and a double sink with mixer tap and ample counter and cabinet space. Two overhead hatches and three opening ports forward provide excellent ventilation.
A large refrigerator-freezer system lies to port, with well-insulated compartments and stylish, front opening stainless steel doors.

Deck Layout & Equipment
The large cockpit with outside dining area is protected by a functional hard-top, providing a stable platform for access to the mast and boom. A stack pack system, double purchase halyards, mast track and slide system make handling the fully battened mainsail surprisingly easy
Unique to the Leopard 46, the raised helm station is situated in the extended hardtop roof, protected by a hardtop bimini, offering excellent visibility and ease of manoeuvring, even with a limited crew. In addition, this innovative design maintains open access to the cockpit so the helmsman is not cut off from the rest of the party.
Large, sleek windows along the coach roof sides add to the elegant look of the deck and give the interior a light, voluminous feel with 360° visibility. Louver steps from the foredeck to the coach roof provide shade in the saloon and sure footed access to the roof and hard-top.
The main sheet traveler is positioned overhead on the hard-top bimini, allowing safe, walk-through access from the cockpit to the aft platform which is great for swimming, diving or boarding a dinghy. The ventilated hard-top also shades the cockpit and provides excellent access to the boom.
The innovative stepped hull design increases volume while minimizing the wetted hull surface, giving exceptional load carrying capacity and ensuring maximal performance.
The entire aft section of the cockpit can be configured as a separate socialising area, with the rear backrests adjusting to face forward or aft. Cleverly, the optional aft bench seat also converts to serve as a landing platform for the dinghy or the ideal spot from which to enjoy a day’s watersports.
