Details
The Leopard 45 Owner’s Version is a graceful combination of comfort, stability, and performance making it one of the most sought-after mid-size catamarans on the market. Minowa has been thoughtfully upgraded and maintained to pristine standards checking off any cruiser’s wish list. Leopard has mastered volume management by expanding the liveable space of a 45 ft catamaran with the sky lounge, helm station, cockpit, salon, and forward lounge all seamlessly connected.
Minowa is well equipped for off-grid blue water cruising with 2,280w of solar, 1,280ah of lithium, ample refrigeration, and a solid sail locker. The current owners have put in the leg work including new solar, lithium, standing rigging, bottom paint, mainsail, re-bedded salon windows, and an extensive spare inventory offering a true turnkey opportunity to the next owners.
Minowa is US Duty Paid, never chartered, and ready for her next adventure! Please reach out with any questions or to set up a viewing here in Downtown Charleston, SC. Minowa will be featured in the Charleston Spring Multihull Show May 8-9th.
