About
Meet AKASA, a very smart long distance cruising cat. The Leopard 46 was built between 2006 and 2012 and exported worldwide, AKASA was launched in 2009. She comes to the market today as a complete cruising cat and her owners have not only equipped their boat so well, but their maintenance also shows a depth of knowledge that is such a bonus to buyers. Energetically prepared for sale, the boat was recently hauled out for thorough hull inspections.. all coatings removed and hundreds of moisture readings taken. The readings were perfect and the boat was returned to the water with fresh anti foul in February 2026. Only as a future preventative measure, the owners had two new fuel tanks made in plastic, dimensions so that they fit through doorways down below. These are presently stored by the davits.
AKASA is certainly a self sufficient boat, an impressive 1764 watt solar array with MPPT control and new lithium batteries. A 9kVA Northern Lights genset is fixed in the port forepeak and rarely required.
Life aboard is comfortable and elements like the reverse osmosis water set up for delivering perfectly potable water from the tanks add yet more to the liveability. Airconditioning has been upgraded, three new 12VDC 12,000 BTU units installed in February 2026.
The boat has had modern navigation aids installed, plotters inside and outside, the rigging was replaced in 2017 and has had frequent inspections since, up to date safety gear, all cruising kit and caboodle... plus so many spares... a real turn key boat.

A word from the owners
“The Leopard 46 is a great sailing boat that will let you feel safe in all conditions, with good visibility to all corners of the boat. We have made Akasa our home for almost three years, and couldn’t have been happier with Akasa’s performance and comfort over the 10,000 nautical miles that we have travelled. The 1.4m draft means that you can tuck Akasa into almost any anchorage and the robust Rocna MkII anchor tackle means that you can feel comfortable sleeping or leaving Akasa for land adventures. Akasa can be the centre of activity when you are cruising with other boats, given the ample cockpit and salon space, or a private refuge with plenty of space to move and think.
The adventure awaits and Akasa is a boat that can take you anywhere you want to go”. (Bali. Indonesia. September 2025).
Accommodation
A four cabin boat, each hull has two bathrooms amidships, with a dry head and shower. The two aft cabins can be described as staterooms, with Queen size island berths and ensuite heads and showers which are a generous size and enclosed by proper doors. The forward cabins have semi-island double berths, access to the ensuite heads and separate showers, and as for all the other cabins, have ample storage lockers and hanging wardrobes. The port forward head has been converted to pantry / utility room with floor to ceiling pantry and siting the washing machine while still being usable as a sink /vanity.
On the bridgedeck the living space very much shares with the spacious cockpit, the galley tucking up next to the cockpit. In addition to two overhead hatches, there are three opening ports in the forward facing saloon windows, creating abundant airflow.
The Cockpit
A big feature of this boat, the design of the cockpit gives pleasantly curving seats, lounges and easy access to the transoms. The Leopard 46 cockpit is very often a subject of envy! Perhaps it is the 25’ beam, which
contributes to the sense of lateral space, and the way the interior lounge / saloon is positioned somewhat further
forward, slightly reducing interior space but providing the most used part of the boat, the cockpit, with a huge amount of usable and versatile space.
To add to the comfort is the overhead hatch, which opens forward to act as a wind scoop to
provide a cooling breeze, a very nice feature in the tropics. AKASA’S cockpit is fitted with sun shades on all sides.
The helm seat is raised for good visibility and designed to be safe in all weathers. It is a winner for many cruisers who dislike being up many steps in a flybridge, far from everyone else on board and away from everything.

A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
Chris Block was our broker. He was great. He went above and beyond what we thought we needed. His expertise helped us get our dream boat for way less than expected. I will use TMC and Chris Block in the future. Definitely recommend.
Chris Rundlett in Grenada was my buyers broker for a catamaran I purchased in Tortola.
The buying process was problematic with numerous mechanical issues needing attention. Throughout the process he was fantastic. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a boat in the Caribbean.
