Welcome onboard “Lani”. A beautiful 2002 Leopard 47 cruising catamaran, I had the joy of staying on for several nights while visiting friends Ted and Kim in the Bahamas. In this video we tour the boat and take a look at the layout, systems, and features that make the Leopard 47 such a popular long-range liveaboard cruising catamaran. Lani is a spacious, capable offshore boat designed for comfort, performance, and extended life at sea.
