2011 Leopard 46 ‘Kindred Spirit’: A Proven Cruising Cat

A well-known Robertson and Caine platform, presented in South Florida by a broker who actually lived the charter life.


The Leopard 46 has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile owner-and-charter catamarans of its era, and this 2011 example — S/V Kindred Spirit — is being offered in South Florida by Conor Dugan of The Multihull Company. At 45 feet, she sits in a sweet spot for couples and families who want genuine bluewater capability without stepping up into the running costs of a 50-plus-foot platform.

A Broker Who Knows the Boats

In his introduction, Conor lays out a background that will resonate with anyone considering a serious cruising catamaran. Originally from Point Pleasant Beach on the Jersey Shore and later Wilmington, North Carolina, he studied at UNC Charlotte before moving to the US Virgin Islands to work as a charter captain for roughly seven years. During that stretch he also began delivering Balance catamarans up and down the East Coast for Phil, eventually landing in South Florida as the local broker for The Multihull Company.

That combination — charter captain, delivery skipper, and now broker — is exactly the résumé you want on the other end of the phone when you’re trying to sort through the crowded catamaran market. Conor emphasizes an approach built on integrity, professionalism, and helping clients understand what different brands, makes, and models actually deliver in real-world cruising, rather than pushing a particular hull.

By Conor Dugan

Conor moved to the Virgin Islands to pursue a career as a professional captain. One of his deliveries put him on an Outremer 5x with sailing legend Jimmy Cornell. Jimmy was preparing his Elcano Voyage, a circumnavigation aboard a fully-electric Outremer 4x, and was looking for crew to join him. After weeks of preparation, the crew set off on the epic voyage. After several challenges, Jimmy decided to cancel the voyage and modify the boat to better serve his interests. This change of plans brought Conor back to the States sooner than expected with a new found passion for renewable technologies. He is excited to be an active member of the Ft. Lauderdale sailing community, and is looking forward to seeing how sustainable technology and sailing continue to intersect.
