Leopard 51: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Leopard 51 PowerCat is a capable cruising yacht designed for comfortable overnight stays, entertaining, and enjoyable time on the water. This 51-foot catamaran combines spaciousness with practical operational features, making it suitable for both owner-operators and charter use. Its design emphasizes ease of handling, comfort, and versatility, positioning it as a reliable choice for cruising enthusiasts.
Exterior Design and Helm Stations
The yacht features a thoughtfully arranged flybridge helm positioned slightly off-center to the port side, allowing ample space for a companion to assist or observe during navigation. The helm console is equipped with a comprehensive suite of instruments including a compass, a 12-inch multifunction display, dual fuel gauges, Raymarine autopilot, engine displays, and digital start-stop switches. Engine controls are mounted at an angle on the starboard side, complemented by a tilt steering wheel and convenient storage areas with protective railings. The lower helm station, also located on the port side, is designed primarily for use in inclement weather or close quarters maneuvering. It lacks a traditional steering wheel, relying instead on autopilot control and engine management via dual 12-inch displays, VHF radios, and a fusion stereo system. Accessibility to the ship's electrical system is facilitated through a panel behind the aft bulkhead on the starboard side, housing multiple 12-volt and 120-volt panels, engine and generator controls, and air conditioning management.
Engine Access and Mechanical Layout
The Leopard 51 PowerCat’s twin Yanmar 8LV diesel engines are located beneath the aft stateroom berths on each hull side. Despite their proximity to living quarters, soundproofing measures including full insulation and double-clamped hoses ensure quiet operation, allowing occupants to rest comfortably even while engines run. Engine service points are easily accessible from above, with sufficient space for maintenance on both sides. The stern houses compartments concealing the steering gear, with additional storage forward of these areas, contributing to the yacht’s practical mechanical layout.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 370-horsepower Yanmar 8LV engines turning 584 by 586 millimeter four-bladed propellers, the Leopard 51 PowerCat demonstrates strong and linear performance characteristics typical of catamarans. The vessel measures 51 feet in length overall, with a beam of 25 feet 1 inch and a draft of 3 feet 3 inches. During testing with an estimated displacement of 45,360 pounds (including full fuel and three passengers), the yacht achieved a top speed of 23.2 knots at 3,800 RPM. Comfortable cruising was observed at 3,000 RPM, yielding 17 knots with a fuel burn of 20.2 gallons per hour, translating to approximately 0.8 nautical miles per gallon and a range near 300 nautical miles. For extended distance cruising, operating at 1,500 RPM produced 8.2 knots and a fuel consumption of 2.9 gallons per hour, resulting in nearly three nautical miles per gallon and a range exceeding 1,000 nautical miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 396-gallon capacity. Acceleration to planing speed occurs in an average of 8.8 seconds, with 20 miles per hour reached in 12.9 seconds. The yacht exhibits excellent turning authority, facilitating confident maneuvering in confined or buoyed waters.
Noise Levels and Ride Quality
Sound levels measured in the master stateroom at cruising speed registered between 79 and 80 decibels, comparable to the noise of a vacuum cleaner, indicating a relatively quiet environment for a power catamaran. While the test conditions were limited to calm waters, the yacht’s design suggests a stable and solid ride. The reviewer noted the absence of spray rails, which could enhance dryness and comfort in rougher seas, recommending their addition for improved performance in adverse conditions.
Conclusion
The Leopard 51 PowerCat is a well-handled and thoughtfully designed cruising yacht that balances performance, comfort, and operational ease. Its spacious helm arrangements, quiet engine compartments, and efficient fuel consumption make it suitable for both owner operation and charter use. While the test was conducted in calm conditions, the yacht’s build and handling characteristics suggest it would perform reliably in a variety of cruising scenarios. Overall, the Leopard 51 PowerCat stands out as a versatile and comfortable vessel for extended cruising and entertaining.
