S/V Plan B is a 2004 Leopard 47 Charter Version (4 cabin) catamaran, for sale by owner.
Beginning in 1997, Leopard has produced over 21 power and sailing catamaran models. With sizes to fit any need or budget, their sailing catamaran line ranges from a compact 38-footers to a luxurious 62-footer.
Leopard Catamarans of South Africa was founded by builders John Robertson and Jerry Caine in 2000– a partnership that has been sustained since 1991. At the time, their catamarans were designed and built primarily for charter companies Sunsail and The Moorings. With over 1,500 vessels catamarans built, Leopard has established itself a leader in the production catamaran market both for private and charter use.
The Leopard 47 is one of the all time classics in the catamaran world. Over 150 were build and the Leopard 47 is a very capable and safe blue water cruiser. The Leopard 47 was designed and build for blue water cruising, and can easily achieve 200 mile days in the trade winds. The Leopard 47 received excellent reviews upon her introduction. Since that time the design has proven itself all over the world. Owners and others are exceptionally pleased with her speed, windward ability, and ease of handling. Built in South Africa where boats are built to withstand the often harsh conditions off-shore.
We just got back at the end of June from a 2000 + mile sail from Grenada to Florida. Before we left we did so much work upgrading, replacing and adding to this boat that was meant to be our forever home. Life happens and things change. So all the work has been done and she is ready for the next owners.
