Marine Survey on this Leopard 47 for sale in Preveza

Today's assignment was to carry out a Hull Survey on this Leopard 47 Catamaran from the designers Robertson & Caine and was previously named Cruising World‘s “Best Charter Boat of the Year”.

Surveyors comment: Leopard almost need no introduction. The South African boat builder has been producing catamarans for many years, and have a proven track record of building good quality production cats that are popular options for both the charter fleet and cruisers.

She is currently up for sale in Preveza. Here is the link https://www.networkyachtbrokersbarcelona.com/boats_for_sale/Leopard_Catamarans_47-22659.html/

Prout Catamaran Survey in Preveza

I had a good flight from Samos to Preveza via Athens. I set off at 730am and was here mid afternoon. I have three inspections to carry out over the next five days. This Prout built 39 foot Catamaran, an Escale model from 1993 being my first. 

A number of different layouts are available. This vessel has two heads, one in each hull, and three double-berths, each 15 feet away from the others, which provides privacy. The athwartships double-berths aft are excellent sea berths. One hull is for the owner and the other for crew and friends. A large galley with triple-sink unit and a nav-station with full-size Admiralty chart table, helps to keep both crew and skipper happy!

The shallow draft (3 feet 3 inches) allows you to cruise areas where most vessels cannot venture.

The Prout 39 is built for blue water cruising and passage-making. Although the price per foot is more than a monohull, the p catamaran design, introduced in 1991, is descended from a long pedigree of ocean cruising designs from Prout, such as the Quest 31 and 33, Event 34, Snowgoose 35 and 37, and the Ocean Ranger 45.
