NEW Yacht Windows Leak & Separate From Hull... | LEOPARD 45 CATAMARAN REVIEW
If you have concerns about a window leaking we HIGHLY recommend Flex tape. It's a rubberised, waterproof tape that held the window for longer than the factory installation managed.

Over time a number of issues have been detected with the windows and skylights fitted to our 2021 Leopard 45.
In this video, Tynan shares some of his experiences from Cape Town when he was working with Trent to detect leaks and attempt to get defects rectified, we explain which window has been replaced 3 times so far (and still leaks!) and detail the terrifying experience the boys had out in the Atlantic Ocean when the owners cabin window started separating from the hull while sailing the yacht to Europe. We also take a quick look to see if ours is the only Leopard Catamaran that has experienced issues with the windows separating from the hull.
