About
This 2016 Leopard 40 Owners version, fully equipped for bluewater cruising and privately owned is one of the best upgraded L40’s on the market.
She has a light ash interior and spacious floor plan with forward facing galley and salon. The front door and sliding, aft salon windows allow for maximum ventilation of the salon and galley.
This Owners version (3 cabins) with an owners/starboard hull with queen bed, large bathroom with separate shower, office space and sliding door making it fully private. The port hull has 2 double cabins with a shared bathroom. The well organized layout means that you get the spaciousness of a bigger boat, the agility and performance you can only get with a Leopard 40, and the added bonus of lower maintenance and slip fees.
The boat is full comfort with air conditioning, new Northern Lights generator, new Isotherm fridge and freezer, new SeaPro watermaker, StarLink, Corian countertops, drop down cockpit table for extra lounging space, TV, stereo, washing machine and electric macerating toilets.
The Leopard 40 can be piloted solo from the helm. All lines lead to a set of clutches on the coach roof, there is an electric winch to simplify maneuvers and an instrument panel of Raymarine chart plotter, autopilot, wind, depth, AIS, radar and VHF. The cockpit and helm station has a hardtop bimini as well as a viewing panel making it easy to see the mainsail for trimming. She has a 63’3” mast so she can sail under the bridges of the ICW in the eastern US.
The full batten mainsail and furling genoa and running rigging were new in 2021. The bowsprit and code D were added in 2023. The new 10’ Caribe RIB dinghy and 15hp outboard were purchased new in 2022 and are a breeze to hoist on the electric stainless steel davits. The solar and batteries added in 2022 include 2175W of solar and plenty of power storage of 1200Ah of batteries which will make anyone jealous.
Well equipped, and currently in the US Virgin Islands. Contact to arrange your visit and for the full list of inventory, and pre-sale survey. Current owners are available to assist with complete hand-over to new owners.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
