2021 Leopard 40, USD 420 000,-

2021 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 40 3 Cabin – Morning Star

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:
MORNING STAR represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the youngest models in the esteemed 40 series, and notably, one of the final examples available with no hurricane history due to her location and age. This vessel features the sought-after 3-cabin, 2-head configuration, which is perfect for a couple or family seeking an owners layout vs the “I’m a charter boat” 4 cabin version. Finished with a refined light Ash interior, she is equipped with air conditioning, a reliable generator, Yanmar engines, electric davits, and a convenient walk-through forward door. The owner had new sails fitted in July. Port engine panel recently replaced with new starboard panel on order. MORNING STAR just finished a FULL refit and is 100% ready to go. It is now primed for her next discerning owner, and can be inspected and sailed away immediately. A survey is available, and this was used for the refit. Photos of the complete yacht and a video is also available. Yacht also comes with a 12’ AB dinghy and a 9.8 Tohatsu. Seller is also adding an $8000 water maker. A mechanic has just gone through the Yanmars rebuilding the raw water pumps, installing new belts and verifying all pulleys are good. Sails are new, bottom paint is fresh. Morning Star is in top notch shape. Check out the newly added videos showing the yacht post-refit.



They have just installed 1000 watts of solar and a new anchor windlass. In the next month she will get hauled and the sail drive diaphragms replaced. Also, some heat exchanger seals will be replaced.
