The Leopard 43 is a 12.98-metre sailing catamaran built by Leopard Catamarans in South Africa. Designed as the evolutionary successor to the Leopard 42, the 43 introduces a wave-piercing hull design with reverse bows for improved performance, comfort, and reduced pitching in open water.
Powered by twin Yanmar 45 HP diesel engines, the Leopard 43 is designed primarily for sailing performance, with a total sail area of 125.8 square metres. A displacement of 14,728 kg and a 5,385 kg load-carrying capacity allow for extended cruising with full provisions and equipment.
The layout features 4 cabins including an owner’s stateroom with ensuite, comfortably sleeping 8 guests. A 360-degree panoramic saloon with expansive glass windows creates a bright, open living space. The redesigned coachroof lounge, integrated side steps for dock access, and enhanced forward-cockpit seating improve daily life aboard.
Certified by both NMMA and CE, the Leopard 43 is built for bluewater cruising. Increased solar capacity supports energy independence at anchor, while the 600-litre fuel tank and 660-litre water tank provide practical autonomy. The Leopard 43 continues the brand’s legacy of building robust, performance-driven catamarans, with over 3,100 Leopard hulls delivered worldwide.
