2021 ROBERTSON AND CAINE LEOPARD 40 3 Cabin – BENDIGO

BUILDERS REMARKS: The Leopard 40, crafted by South African builders Robertson & Caine, showcases a modern design by naval architects Simonis and Voogd, along with the Robertson & Caine design team. This model maintains the speed, agility, and blue-water performance of its predecessors while featuring enhancements such as increased hull volume and a unique interior layout. The galley is positioned forward, complemented by a forward-facing settee, large windows, and an access door to the forward platform. This design offers a panoramic view and large sliding glass doors that connect the saloon and aft cockpit, promoting seamless communication and an open flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

BROKERS REMARKS: BENDIGO is a rare, young Leopard 40 model leaving the fleet this season. This 3-cabin owner’s version has no storm damage due to age. It features a lighter Ash interior, air conditioning, a generator, Yanmar engines, electric davits, and a walkthrough forward door.

AVAILABILITY: This yacht will complete its phase out from the fleet in December 2025 in St Lucia and will be ready to sail away.
