Wonderful presentation. You go slowly to allow the viewer to understand, and yet fast enough not to make it boring - nice balance. You are the only one opening all the drawers, fridge, freezers, etc. It gives an idea of depth which everybody else misses. In addition, your photographer was steady on the hand without fast movements. Other photographers make me dizzy. You both made a great presentation team. Good job.
Omg yes! The opening of storage spaces and fridges/freezers should be more common when reviewing boats. Some closet depths are a literal joke and this saves you from disappointment when viewing the boat in first person for first time.
This is the perfect size for a family of four and still have guests on board I'm in Love I thought the forty five was nice but damn now I'll know I'm never going to see the world with my children without being on board such a beautiful lady I've got my lotto ticket but dreams wouldn't be dreams if things like this didn't exist well done frank
That forward cockpit is a game changer you lose a outside locker but gaining access to the fore deck without walking around the cabin on the outside makes up for that nicely, good idea leopard.
Great walk through.. Just love this boat, the look, openness, layout overall.. I could see myself with the wife and some friends crossing the pacific or sailing in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico to name a few, just don't see the money needed in my bank account.. LOL...
I love Robertson and Caine tough built Cats, South African Cats are the only Cats for me, roll on retirement and LIVING the rest of my life on the ocean on the back of a Leopard.
Absolutely love this Cat.. Sailing with family or friends in this would be the best times.. Teak tables for sure, looks so much better than the fiberglass white.
This is the first layout that checks my every box, and tipped my interest toward Leopard cats; well done! I LOVE the upper and fwd lounges and walkthroughs; although since I've only looked at cats 40-45feet, I don't know what you are giving up for these features in a in 50 foot. If this can be done practically in a 40-45 foot, sign me up! The only things I wish were options or a little differently designed are: - squared off beds - fully partition showers from head - flip-up glass windshield at helm (?) - Radiant heater above helm for late night watch (I don't know if this is ever done) - bow thrusters (video didn't cover systems, so maybe it has this) - air conditioning (not mentioned in video) - a brig for when guests are jackasses (OK, maybe not this last one) tipped my interest toward Leopard cats.
Very well done! Thanks for not showing the toilet. I’m ok with looking at the sink and shower, but not the toilet. My interest goes from 90% to 10% and start looking for another video. Well done. My favorite cat!
one thing i don't like about leopard is the narrow hulls giving you smaller cabins, lagoon and sunreef wins with spacious cabins but over all its a great cat
Definitely would not opt for the upper lounge.... fwd cockpit, main salon, aft cockpit.... how many ten person lounges does one need?!? I’ll take a lower boom, pls!
@animal494 , the B4 ( model shown ) comes standard with that flybridge lounge area. Multiple Solar panels can be fitted further forward om the deck around the mast area 👌
Nice boat, good video. Just don't like the way Leopard lays out the galley area. With the 2 companionways to the stbd hull accom. It just destroys the kitchen's layout imo. Do they have a aversion where the entire stbd hull is dedicated to owners cabin?
The 3rd boat build of the Leop 50 ended up being a disaster for the couple that bought it. Fifteen months of no help from Leopard caused a large youtube channel to shame Leopard into correcting the problems. Even then corrections were not made. Replacement parts were given but the poorly designed davit system for example was left untouched by leopard. Look up the videos on this. Shocking to say the least. Leopard has told buyers of the first few builds that they were used as R&D, but with no help coming from Leopard to fix any problems discovered after purchase.
Great vessel, but you really need to look into taking care of Russ and Margie on your hull #3, Sunrise II. It's a shame and a sham, a shame the problems that they have had to endure dealing with your new boat warranties. You can rest assured that the sailing community worldwide will support them until Leopard makes things right for them. Replace those faulty engines, refund the money they've spent diagnosing problems unnecessarily and allow them to continue to enjoy their investment in sailing, not sitting in the marina. Once the word is out, you'll rack up bad publicity faster than a sale at Walmart! Just do the right thing, we'll be watching and posting! 🤔 👉
@@gerardjouvancourt5568 Leopard stated that the first few purchasers of the cat were being used as research and development. Problem was, Leopard had no intentions fixing any of the problems that presented themselves to the owners. It took a large sailing YT channel to shame Leopard into fixing what they were contractually obligated to. Even then, a couple of things that were poorly designed were never remedy. Only spare parts were given to band aid the poor design.
Weight reduction. It keeps the weight central where it's supposed to be for a stable ride. Also in heavy seas it prevents the front from being buried and causing a serious problem.
Absolutely beautiful boat, but those cabins that are to small for a full size bed really spoil what would otherwise be a perfect boat. Those irregular shaped beds stop people from upgrading to their preferred mattresses and bedding, and their position doesn’t make for easy getting in and out of, especially doing either while trying not to wake up whoever is sleeping next to you. Such a shame as everything else looked really well thought out.
