Leopard 46: Crowned Multihull of the Year 2025

The Leopard 46 has been named “Multihull of the Year 2025” in the Cruising Sailboat category. This professional recognition confirms the market’s interest in this model, both for its technical qualities and its layout oriented towards onboard comfort.

A Modern Design for Long-Distance Voyages

Designed for both coastal cruising and long-distance sailing, the Leopard 46 offers an optimized deck plan and generous living spaces. The forward cockpit, directly accessible from the saloon, facilitates fluid circulation between the exterior and interior spaces. The central saloon, bright and functional, combines the galley, lounge, and navigation station, creating a main living area where all functions converge.

The overall ergonomics facilitate maneuvers, with accessible handling even with a reduced crew. The model is suitable for both family sailing programs and extended autonomous use.

The Leopard 46 can be equipped according to different needs, including a hybrid motorization available as an option. This system allows for silent, low-impact navigation, particularly suitable for anchorages or ports. Solar panels and low-energy consumption equipment can also be integrated, contributing to greater autonomy without systematically resorting to the thermal engine.

The interior layouts are modular depending on the versions, with several cabin configurations and ample storage capacity. This allows the boat to be adapted to different lifestyles on board: seasonal use, occasional sailing, or year-round living.

Recent Recognition Validates Model’s Appeal

The “Multihull of the Year” award was given by a jury composed of professionals and specialized readers. This choice highlights several strengths of the Leopard 46: balance under sail, onboard comfort, ease of handling, and integration of more responsible solutions.

The distinction comes less than a year after the model’s launch, underscoring the positive reception of this catamaran among industry players.
