What distinguishes the model
- The hull is considered thick and robust, and a long-distance cruiser sailed it for three years and 15.000 nautical miles with little maintenance effort.
- The shaft drives instead of saildrive are well received by owners, and both water and diesel tanks are generously sized for long passages.
- With fixed keels the boat sails briskly even in little wind and remains quieter underway than the smaller Leopard 45.
