Overview
About this vessel
This stunning Leopard power catamaran was built in 2021 and has spent most of her life with very little private use in Florida, preserving her exceptional condition. Acquired by the current owner in November 2024 and cruised on the east coast and the Bahamas, and recently in the northern Caribbean, she has been meticulously maintained by dedicated full-time live aboard owners.
This galley-up, 3-cabin owner's version maximizes luxury and space and has almost 40% more usable space than the previous model. The expansive starboard aft owner's cabin features a generous 2 sink bathroom and a huge separate shower. The fly bridge is a sight to behold, offering panoramic views, ample lounge areas, a protected helm, sun lounge, BBQ grill, ice maker, beverage fridge and a dining table that seats 8. Beautiful teak tables.
The upgraded Yanmar LV-8 engines sit in oversized engine rooms with giant hatches which make for open air access and expansive room. The Yanmar common rail engines have developed a reputation for fuel economy, low maintenance, and reliability. The well engineered configuration and the catamaran hull make this boat very efficient at displacement speeds easily getting 3 miles per gallon and a range of 1680 nautical miles at 1400 rpm. High displacement cruise is 8.5 knots or you can bring her up in plane to make time at up to 23 knots.
Onward was recently hauled in Florida for bottom prep and two coats of BioGuard bottom paint. All running gear was coated with PropSpeed. Props were tuned, and new cutlass bearings installed. The top sides have always been protected with ceramic coating. There has been strict adherence to maintenance intervals.
Onward is largely self sufficient for power thanks to 3,200 watts of solar and a large bank of lithium batteries controlled by Victron. The Northern Lights generator has low hours as a result. If the sun shines, you may never need to run the generator except for the BBQ grill or the house air conditioner.
Whether on the expansive flybridge, on the comfortable foredeck, in the large cockpit, or inside in the salon the useable living space is more than some boats twice the size. Storage to match.
Recent upgrades include Crystal Clear Eisenglass for flybridge, teak chairs purchased for cockpit and tables refinished, bottom paint and PropSpeed on all running gear, tuned props and cutlass bearings, polished topside and finish with ceramic sealant, interior decor, new fenders and lines, Sonos Eros stereo upgrade, Starlink Gen 3 on hardtop, wind and weather monitor, optimization of solar and generator chargers for the lithium battery bank, new autopilot drive, lots of tools and spares, ceiling fan over master bed, watermaker refurbished. A Bahamas cruising permit good until 2028 is included.
