Leopard 40 - Blue Water Modern Cruising Catamaran
Isola's Designer/Builders Robertson & Caine and Naval Architects Simonis-Voogd have set a new standard for contemporary cruising catamarans with the Leopard 40 Catamaran. The innovative interior layout, increased volume in the hulls, and expanded windows and doors that blur the lines between inside and out combine to make the interior space feel like a large yacht.
Her unique forward-facing galley stands in front of a large window with an adjacent access door to the forward platform. Aft, a forward-facing settee and dining table are separated from the aft cockpit seating area by sliding glass doors. These doors and windows enhance the open concept feel, allow for exceptional ventilation, and facilitate easy navigation in and around the yacht.
The raised helm station is accessible from the cockpit and side deck, allowing for easy shorthanded sailing and keeping the helmsman close to family and friends. With more than 1000 sq. ft. of sail area and an optimized hull design, the Leopard 40 is built to a high standard for enhanced speed and agility.
Isola features the latest innovations in its class including ample indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, roomier aft cabins and performance-driven blue water sailing controls. With a spacious exterior that includes a forward deck for relaxed lounging and a rear deck area for entertaining, barbecuing, fishing and water sports, there is something for everyone on board. Inside, Isola features 4 staterooms, 2 Heads, a fully equipped galley area and interior dining area for 8 that can quickly convert into a "movie night" lounge. She sleeps 8-10 adults and 2 of her state rooms are equipped with extra sleeping areas for kids.
When new, Isola was sailed to Key West FL and spent her first Winter there. That Spring, she was sailed up to Port Jefferson NY where she has remained ever since. Her family sailing has primarily been in and around Long Island Sound, Block Island, Vineyard, Nantucket, Gardner's Bay and Montauk. She has been very well maintained - hauled every year, winterized and shrink wrapped across the sound in Connecticut.
Isola has been a wonderful platform for this family's Summer adventures and she could do the same for yours.
