Annapolis Sailboat Show 2017. Comparing Catamarans. Leopards. Ep90

Ep90.. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we continue comparing Sailing Catamarans from the Annapolis Sailboat Show in terms of how we feel they would suit our needs as a full time Liveaboard future home.

In this episode we continue with 3 boats from Leopard. The Leopard 40, the Moorings 404 and the Sunsail 450. Watch to see if we like models from this manufacturer as much as Fountaine Pajot or Lagoon.

If money was no option we would assuredly buy one of the Custom Catamarans that is built to suit the owners requested needs and come completely kitted out from the manufacturer with everything you would need for living aboard such as Solar Power, Water Maker, Radar, AIS, Generators, Spinnakers etc, etc but the problem with boats like that, is they are very expensive when new and very few of them are built every year, so there are not that many on the used market. As such, the prices of these boats do not fall as far on the used market as the mass production boats such as the ones built by the 3 largest builders, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon and Leopard.

So we have to seriously look at the production boats as the most likely option for us down the road when we sell everything we own to live full time on a Catamaran.
