Leopard 44 - "FORCE 6" (2012)
Currently viewable in MARTINIQUE
BUILDERS REMARKS: One of the many intriguing features this yacht offers is the forward cockpit with direct access from the saloon. While a forward cockpit is conventional on the modern cruising catamaran, the Leopard 44 distinctively offers an integral hardtop bimini, protecting the forward and aft cockpit, while also creating a comfortable outdoor living space. It has deep narrow groove hulls is able to sail as close to wind as many a mono-hull. The shallow draft too provides great access to anchorages too. With an abundance of outdoor space and its generous sail plan, this catamaran is both luxurious and practical. The spacious four double cabin and four head layout plus large saloon and galley gives plenty of room for groups and families. For additional comfort this boat features generator, air conditioning and solar panels fitted to the hard top bimini to charge the on-board batteries.
BROKERS REMARKS: FORCE 6 is one of few Leopard 44's available for sale. This previous Sunsail 444 (Leopard 44) has been operated in the Mediterranean through Sunsail Croatia until October 2019. Following a transatlantic and family sabbatical sailing trip, it is time to find new owner to Force6. This Leopard 44 is immaculate condition with a multitude of upgrades and options.

COMMENTAIRES CONSTRUCTEUR: Une casquette hard top coiffe le cockpit avant. A bord
du Leopard 44, le constructeur Robertson & Caine a prévu un passage depuis la nacelle assurant une très convaincante circulation en diagonale, d’une porte à l’autre. Et en pratique, on rejoint très volontiers le cockpit avant et le trampoline en passant par l’intérieur sans emprunter les passavants. Une aisance inhabituelle qui fait tout l’attrait de ce modèle ! Avec 2,12 m de hauteur sous barrot, vous ne vous sentirez pas à l’étroit, d’autant que la lumière est généreuse et l’aération soignée. A l’arrière, l’équipage est parfaitement protégé par l’imposant bimini rigide. Le poste de barre surélevé peut accueillir deux personnes. Toutes les manœuvres convergent sur trois winches accessibles au barreur. Les mains courantes sont nombreuses et bien placées. Pour optimiser le centrage des poids, ancre et mouillage sont reculés vers le rouf. Une patte d’oie reste à poste pour reprendre la traction sur les étraves. Les rangements extérieurs sont généreux. Equipé de deux moteurs Yanmar 39Cv, pack électronique Raymarine complet, générateur, climatisation, panneaux solaires. Construction soignée en sandwich verre/balsa.
COMMENTAIRES DU BROKER: Par petit temps, le 44 attend 7/8 noeuds de vent pour vraiment décoller à 5 noeuds et plus. Mais au large, par bonne brise, les moyennes de 145 à 150 milles par jour ont couramment été relevées par les convoyeurs. Avec sa nacelle surélevée et ses coques plutôt fines, le Leopard 44 passe bien dans la mer.
Ce Leopard 44 version 4 cab/4 sdb a été précédemment exploité au sein de la flotte Sunsail de Croatie jusqu'en Octobre 2019. Après une transatlantique en famille, les heureux propriétaires terminent leur périple aux Caraibes et doivent trouver un nouvel équipage à Force6. Le bateau est méticuleusement entretenu, prêt à naviguer et bénéficie de nombreuses options récemment installées: AIS, dessalinisateur Aquabase 60l/h, convertisseur 1000W, pompe à eau de rechange, robinet eau de mer, annexe 2.9m, moteur hors-bord, chauffe-eaux récents et bien plus. (Epirb et Iridium Go en option ).
Possibilité de reprise du financement LOA en cours.
