Cruising World Names Leopard 48 "Best Catamaran.....EVER!"
Cruising World Magazine has named the Leopard 48 their #1 best catamaran EVER! Two other Leopards also made their top 40.
Local Tradesman Weighs in on Leopard Quality
"Just wanted to let you know how much of a pleasure it was doing the wiring on OpsMobil (48 Leopard). With the schematics Leopard provides it makes identifying and understanding the circuits and systems on their boats a snap. I can only imagine how much time this saves technicians and owners doing installations or trying to understand how the systems are laid out on board the boat." Brendon Bell, Owner - PRIME YACHT SYSTEMS Sidney, BC
