No hurricane damaged ever, this nice 2004 model (2003 built) Leopard 38 is now available for sale in Saint-Martin. The vessel is an owners version with a single cabin and separate head and separate shower in the starboard hull. There are forward and aft cabins in the port hull with a separate head.
This Leopard 38 was in the Sunsail charter fleet in Seychelles from 2004 to 2009. Her next owner lived aboard 6 months a year and 6 months the boat was properly stored ashore. In 2016 the current owners bought the cat and decided to prepare her for crossing the Atlantic, included rigging preparation and new set of sails. The Leopard 38 is now used for week-ends in Saint-Martin and close islands and is a great opportunity being a spacious liveaboard catamaran for her size.
