Do you dream of crossing the Atlantic or joining the ARC? POLARIS is ready for new owners and new adventures.
She is exceptionally well maintained and fully equipped for long-distance cruising, whether you wish to continue sailing in the Mediterranean, cross the Atlantic, or set course for distant shores. She can also be used as a floating holiday home from her winter berth, which may also be taken over. POLARIS can be taken over from September 2026.
LEOPARD 45 — ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CRUISING CATAMARANS IN HER CLASS The Leopard 45 is Robertson & Caine’s most successful model and is known for its strong combination of comfort, sailing performance, robust build quality, and practical layout for modern cruising, where space and safe sailing go hand in hand.
One of the characteristic features of this model is the forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon — a fantastic place to spend time, both while sailing and at anchor. The helm watch can also be kept from here. The door between the saloon and the forward cockpit has been part of Leopard’s DNA through the latest generations of catamarans. Other catamaran manufacturers have since adopted this functionality as well, for example the brand-new Lagoon 47.
Another part of Leopard’s DNA is the forward-facing galley, where all practical galley duties can be carried out with an unobstructed 360-degree view, even while sailing. The helm watch can also be kept from here during passage. From the raised helm station there is good protection from wind and weather, as well as clear visibility all around. All halyards and sheets can be reached single-handed from the helm, making the boat easy and manageable to sail for a couple — or even for one person. There is also good contact from the helm station to the crew in both the cockpit and the saloon.
POLARIS offers 11 berths distributed across 4 double cabins, each with its own bathroom, 1 single cabin, and in the saloon the corner sofa can be converted into a large king-size double bed.
SAME OWNER SINCE NEW POLARIS has had the same owner since new in 2020 and has been part of The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program. This means she has been professionally maintained and has continuously followed a service system within one of the industry’s very best and most well-established yacht ownership programs. The boat therefore represents a very attractive opportunity for a buyer looking for a well-known model, a good history, and a boat already equipped for longer voyages.
EQUIPMENT AND UPGRADES POLARIS is equipped with, among other things: ✓ New sails from 2024 ✓ Sea Recovery watermaker ✓ Northern Lights 11 kVA generator ✓ Four electric toilets ✓ Air conditioning ✓ Complete Raymarine navigation package ✓ Fixed Starlink Mini installation for onboard internet ✓ New spinnaker from 2026 ✓ New running rigging for the spinnaker from 2026 ✓ Gori 3-blade folding propellers from 2026 ✓ New Flexiteek Generation 3 deck from July 2026 ✓ Highfield CL 360 dinghy ✓ New 20 hp four-stroke outboard engine, EFI, from 2026
GORI FOLDING PROPELLERS In 2026, POLARIS was upgraded with Gori 3-blade folding propellers. Gori folding propellers are made in Denmark and are among the most recognized folding propellers on the market. They are known for low drag under sail and efficient engine performance, providing better sailing performance and improved fuel economy when cruising.
NEW FLEXITEEK GENERATION 3 DECK In July 2026, POLARIS was upgraded with a new Flexiteek Generation 3 deck. It gives the boat a modern and attractive appearance, is comfortable underfoot, and is far easier to maintain than traditional teak. Generation 3 has also been developed to stay cooler in direct sunlight than earlier synthetic teak solutions — a clear advantage in the Mediterranean.
DINGHY AND OUTBOARD The boat comes with a Highfield CL 360 RIB and a new 20 hp outboard engine with electronic fuel injection, EFI. POLARIS is currently located in Italy and is ready for new owners. From September, she can be taken over in Spain and will be ready for new adventures at sea. For a buyer dreaming of crossing the Atlantic or joining the ARC, POLARIS is already equipped and ready for the voyage. This is a boat for the buyer looking for a spacious, comfortable, and proven cruising catamaran that has already been upgraded and equipped for liveaboard life and long-distance sailing.
