2023 Leopard 50

This 2023 Leopard 50 catamaran is extensively equipped for extended cruising and water sports. The 50-foot fiberglass hull spans 26.4 feet in beam and carries twin 160-horsepower Yanmar diesel engines. The boat features four cabins and four heads, offering accommodation for cruising families or groups.

The electrical and power systems form the centerpiece of the upgrades. A 48-volt 800-amp-hour Victron lithium battery bank pairs with a 12-volt 600-amp-hour AGM bank, supported by a 4-kilowatt solar array of ten 400-watt panels and 6-kilowatt high-output alternators. The 25-kilowatt inverting system supplies both 240-volt and 120-volt power throughout. This setup eliminates the need for a generator; the boat runs on solar and stored battery power. Navigation and connectivity include twin Axiom Pro multifunction displays at the helm and nav station, Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar, Starlink satellite internet, Peplink 5G WiFi extender, Vesper Cortex AIS with wireless handhelds, and a Sionyx night vision camera.

The galley and living spaces are appointed with a Bosch induction cooktop, Fisher Paykel dishwasher, five Vitrifrigo refrigerator and freezer units, a Splendide washer-dryer combo, and a Sea Water Pro 40-gallon-per-hour reverse-osmosis system. A Samsung 43-inch flat-screen television with motorized lift provides entertainment. Air conditioning operates on battery power, consuming approximately 20 percent overnight. The rig includes a Leopard mainsail and genoa with bowsprit, a Dave Calvert custom Code 0 with Selden electric furler, and Dyneema throughout the running rigging. Deck improvements include Aqua Traction closed-cell foam decking, full LED lighting, Lumitec underwater lights, a full enclosure with screens, and a bow sun shade.

Water sports equipment includes a Bauer Junior II electric dive compressor, six-tank stainless steel dive rack, 25-horsepower Yamaha outboard with tender console, and a Highfield CL 380 aluminum tender with another 25-horsepower Yamaha. A fresh water sugar-scoop shower with hot and cold supplies rounds out the water amenities.
