Leopard 40: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Leopard 40 PC represents the third generation of power catamarans from Leopard, purpose-built as dedicated power cruisers rather than conversions from sailboats. This design focus results in a highly functional cruising vessel that balances comfort, performance, and practical living spaces.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior layout centers around a spacious salon and galley positioned amidships, flanked by private staterooms on both port and starboard sides. The galley is thoughtfully designed with a Corian L-shaped countertop featuring a recessed stainless steel sink and a dish drying area, allowing for efficient dish management without relying solely on the dishwasher. It includes an induction cooktop, convection oven, ample storage including a pullout pantry, and a full-size refrigerator with filtered water supply. The salon benefits from vertical glass windows that reduce glare and heat buildup while providing an open atmosphere with a 6-foot-6-inch headroom. Seating arrangements include an L-shaped lounge on the port side and a single seat on starboard, creating a comfortable and inviting social area. The helm station is located just forward of the salon, offering protected operation in inclement weather.
Exterior Design and Deck Areas
The aft deck features a generous 7-foot-7-inch bench seat behind a solid wood table supported by two fixed pedestals, with additional deck chairs to expand seating capacity. Safety is enhanced by 29-inch high bulwarks on both sides, and the overhead provides shelter at the same height as the seating. Walkways behind the aft bench allow access to dual swim platforms, with the port platform equipped with a sturdy reboarding ladder. A centrally located davit with a 440-pound lift capacity is recessed into the hardtop, operated by a winch. Access to the flybridge is via stairs on the port side of the aft deck, where a spacious U-shaped seating area surrounds a large solid wood table with beverage holders. Additional social space includes a chaise lounge and a grilling station with an electric grill, refrigeration, storage, and a recessed sink. The flybridge is protected by a hardtop standing 7 feet 1 inch above the main deck. Side decks are 29 inches wide, featuring robust rails extending to the bow, which also hosts a separate gathering area accessible from the front of the main salon.
Private Accommodations
The Leopard 40 PC offers three staterooms and two heads. The master stateroom, located starboard, includes a 78 by 64-inch berth with 6-foot-4-inch headroom, panoramic windows, and ample storage including hanging lockers and drawers. A 40-inch TV is mounted above a desk/vanity area with a mirror and ottoman. The master head features a Corian countertop with recessed sink, mirrored cabinet, generous storage, and an open shower with overhead hatch ventilation. On the port side, two additional staterooms include a forward VIP cabin with a 78 by 60-inch berth, 6-foot-3-inch headroom, and a private head with a walk-in shower. The guest stateroom aft on port side offers a 78 by 64-inch berth with windows on two bulkheads and plentiful storage. Both port staterooms maintain the open shower concept seen in the master head, enhancing the spacious feel.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin Yanmar 370 horsepower engines with shaft drives, the Leopard 40 PC delivers a top speed of 20.3 knots at 3,720 RPM. The vessel's length overall is 40 feet with a beam of 21 feet 8 inches and a draft of 3 feet 7 inches. Test conditions included a weight of approximately 32,808 pounds with 46% fuel and three people aboard. The boat's optimal cruising speeds range from 10 to 15.1 knots, achieving fuel efficiency of about 0.7 nautical miles per gallon and a range between 225.9 and 238.7 nautical miles. Handling is notably docile and forgiving, maintaining a level attitude through turns and providing a dry ride with no bow spray. Docking is facilitated by differential thrust control, making the boat manageable for owner-operators and those transitioning from smaller vessels. The helm stations, both on the flybridge and lower deck, are equipped with 12-inch displays, autopilot, digital engine controls, bow thruster, and other essential navigation and communication equipment.
Conclusion
The Leopard 40 PC is a thoughtfully designed power catamaran that excels as a cruising yacht. It offers spacious, well-appointed interiors, versatile and comfortable exterior social areas, and reliable, efficient performance tailored for extended cruising. Its handling characteristics and operational features make it accessible for a range of operators, from experienced captains to those upgrading from smaller boats. Supported by Leopard's reputable service network, the 40 PC stands out as a practical and comfortable choice for dedicated power cruising.
