“ANNETTE” 2005 LEOPARD CATAMARAN: A CLOSE-UP OVERVIEW

This 2005 Leopard catamaran has a lot that will interest boat lovers in its specifications and design. Designed by Morelli & Melvin and built by Robertson & Caine, it is very spacious and contains way more amenities than is usual for its size.

These specifications and features are some of the reasons that has made Annette such a successful charter boat, registered in Singapore for up to 18 guests. And her regular monthly charter revenue could definitely help any new owner reduce their boat operating costs if they desire.

Key points of interest of this vessel:
1/ Annette was up-slipped in November 2018 and antifouled, as well as an updated RINA survey which is available on request.
2/ New equipment and engines fitted (see below).
3/ Affordable, well branded, well maintained catamaran. She has a sizeable monthly charter income, if this is desired, at no cost.
Apart from having a large outdoor deck and broad walkways along both sides, the boat had been designed to house four cabins. This means that it is able to accommodate four couples onboard. There are two large heads and separate shower stalls on the port side as well as on the starboard. The cockpit is large and spacious, and with the outside dining area, it is protected by a hard top Bimini. The galley is also open and back-facing, making it possible to install a bar overlooking the dining area and the saloon, which means you can enjoy the sea view while relaxing at the back of the boat.

In 2005, the Leopard 40 was the “Boat of the Year” on the Cruising World Magazine owing to two standout features – the first being the incredible speed on water and the second one being the ease of handling.
Four cabins, two large heads, and separate shower stalls in a boat that sails excellently well – you really cannot ask for more!

This 2005 Leopard catamaran is powered by two Kubota WM Diesel Marine Engines, and both have been replaced with brand new engines in 2016.

To top this off the cockpit has a magma gas barbeque grill for leisurely dining at sea or by the dockside.
