Leopard 43 PC NEW 2016
With the Leopard 43 PC, the South African builder is presenting its fourth generation of motor catamarans. And with more than 150 PowerCats launched, Leopard is indisputably one of the major players in this sector.

Performance should be good, with an advertised top speed of 23 knots, and reduced consumption thanks to chined hulls which allow a good amount of space aboard, but with slim forward sections.
