In 2004, Leopard partnered with designers Morelli & Melvin for their Leopard 40 model. Between 2004 and 2009, Leopard produced 136 Leopard 40s before replacing it with the Leopard 39. Then, in 2014, Leopard engaged with Simonis Voogd Design to launch a newer Leopard 40 model that is still in production today with over 210 vessels produced.

The Leopard 40, a product of South African boat builders Robertson & Caine, features a unique, modern design thanks to experienced naval architects Simonis and Voogd as well as Robertson & Caine’s design team. She resembles her predecessors in speed, agility, and blue-water performance, but her enhancements include an increased hull volume and an innovative interior layout.

AccommodationsThe current (2020) Leopard 40 includes a light blonde interior with a light, modern and airy feel.  Her interior salon layout is unlike any Leopard before her. Her galley is located forward and the forward-facing settee and table are now located aft. This allows for a panoramic view with large sliding glass doors between the saloon and the aft cockpit. This arrangement promotes easy communication for guests and an open flow between the saloon and the aft cockpit, creating a fusion of indoor and outdoor living space.  In addition, the galley area includes a large forward-facing window and an access door to the forward platform of the boat. The access door enhances the open concept feel and easy navigation in and around the yacht. It also promotes ventilation throughout the interior.

Aboard S/V Vela: A Cruise-Ready 2008 Leopard 40
New (Aug 26, 2026)

Aboard S/V Vela: A Cruise-Ready 2008 Leopard 40

Some walkthroughs sell a floor plan; this one sells a cruising plan. In a brisk tour of S/V Vela, a 2008 Leopard 40, the emphasis lands squarely on the systems that let a couple or family stay out longer — power, water, refrigeration and storage — rather than on cosmetics. Decks and ground tackle Boarding from the port side, the tour moves forward across a spacious foredeck with two storage lockers plus the anchor locker. Vela carries the older-style Leopard louvered steps, which make climbing to the coach roof and hardtop straightforward and secure.…

2020 Leopard 40 Owner’s Version: S/V Kavalea

2020 Leopard 40 Owner’s Version: S/V Kavalea

The Leopard 40 has earned its reputation as one of the most livable cruising catamarans in its size class, and the 2020 S/V Kavalea represents the sought-after Owner’s Version layout — the configuration that trades a fourth cabin for a generous private owner’s suite spanning an entire hull. Listed by Michelle Ropiza, this five-year-old cat offers a compelling entry point into the Leopard family for couples or small families looking to cruise seriously without stepping up to a larger platform. The Owner’s Version Difference Where the standard Leopard 40 splits both hulls into guest cabins, the Owner’s Version dedicates the starboard hull to the owner: a queen island berth, a proper en-suite head with separate shower stall, and stowage that finally feels adequate for extended passages.…

Leopard 40 Review and Common Problems

Leopard began their sailing catamaran line-up with a cruise-worthy 45-foot catamaran. When the charter industry took notice, they requested smaller sailing cats for their fleets, so Leopard provided the 38-foot model, as well as a 42-foot model. In 2004, Leopard partnered with designers Morelli & Melvin for their Leopard 40 model. Between 2004 and 2009, Leopard produced 136 Leopard 40s before replacing it with the Leopard 39. Then, in 2014, Leopard engaged with Simonis Voogd Design to launch a newer Leopard 40 model that is still in production today with over 210 vessels produced.…
