Owner Experience Review
Owners position the 50fromLeopard Catamaransas a true family cruiser and liveaboard, with multiple reports of Europe–Caribbean passages, while the same platform is widely employed in charter fleets (appearing as the Moorings 5000) and built to charter-robust standards. Despite its size, owner-operators say it is manageable short-handed, and the model introduced around 2018–2019 comes in two flavors: the 50L "Lounge" with flybridge and the 50P "Performance".
Underway, owners log steady passage speeds—e.g., 7.7 knots at 40° AWA in 20 knots apparent and 8.4 knots at 70° AWA—and describe the boat as comfortable in bigger seas and easy to handle under sail or power; one consistent caveat is that "the raised helm station on a 50is very wet." On board, "hosting is a dream" thanks to the forward cockpit with its front door and the large saloon that add living space and ventilation, plus multiple 3/4/5-cabin layouts and a galley that suits two cooks with solid storage/finish; maintenance notes from owners include routine inspection of saildrive seals/diaphragms (e.g., Yanmar SD60), mostly minor delivery/warranty fixes (latches, catches), and the possibility that ex-charter boats may need refurbishment, while common upgrades span the 4JH80 engine option, feathering/folding props, and electrical circuit changes for heavy domestic loads.
Pros and Cons
- Spacious indoor–outdoor living with the forward cockpit/front door and large saloon that owners say make "hosting a dream."
- Capable passagemaker with owner-reported speeds (e.g., 7.7 kts at 40° AWA; 8.4 kts at 70° AWA) and easy handling under sail and power.
- Flexible ownership profile with multiple layouts and L/P variants, manageable short-handed and proven in charter fleets.
- The raised helm station on the 50is reported to be very wet in certain conditions.
- Regular inspection of saildrive seals/diaphragms is advised to guard against water ingress.
- Ex-charter examples may need refurbishment, and some owners report minor delivery items such as latches and catches.
