What distinguishes the model
- With fixed keels, the Leopard 40 proves robust on grounding and does without sensitive centreboards.
- A couple sails the boat properly and simply two-handed; the easily reachable line handling at the half-raised helm station helps with this.
- Galley up, flybridge and foredeck create high liveability; the windscreen and forward door bring light and ventilation in the tropics.
