2020 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 40 4 Cabin – Ripple BUILDERS REMARKS: The Leopard 40, a product of South African boat builders Robertson & Caine, features a unique, modern design thanks to experienced naval architects Simonis and Voogd as well as Robertson & Caine’s design team. She resembles her predecessors in speed, agility, and blue-water performance, but her enhancements include an increased hull volume and an innovative interior layout, which is unlike any Leopard before her. Her galley is located forward and the forward-facing settee and window and an access door to the forward platform of the boat. This allows for a panoramic view with large sliding glass doors between the saloon and the aft cockpit. This arrangement promotes easy communication for guests and an open flow between the saloon and the aft cockpit, creating a fusion of indoor and outdoor living space. BROKERS REMARKS: Ripple is a 2020 Robertson and Caine Leopard 40 in the later 4-cabin, 2-head layout with walk-around aft cabins. She is lying at Rodney Bay Marina, St. Lucia. Interior is the lighter Ash finish. Equipped with air conditioning, generator, Yanmar engines, electric davits, and the walk-through forward door. Simonis and Voogd design, built in South Africa: galley forward, large sliding doors to the aft cockpit, and a forward door onto the trampoline so salon and deck live as one space. Current port, starboard, and genset hours will be posted with a dated reading once confirmed. AVAILABILITY: This yacht has completed Moorings phase-out and is ready for the next adventure.
