2007 Leopard 46, built by Robertson and Caine in South Africa. Leopard catamarans are renowned for their robust construction and excellent performance, making them a popular choice for chartering and private ownership alike. The Leopard 46 is widely renowned as what may be the most robust and enduring model to come out of the Robertson and Caine yard. Focused on blue water performance and comfortable living, the award winning Leopard 46 is really the perfect platform for family adventures.
Next Chapter 7 is a 4 cabin version, all with their own private en-suite. Large comfortable saloon has galley up with ample seating. The cockpit has sunshade curtains and is perfect for entertaining. The raised helm station allows for great visibility with a hardtop roof.
A handy feature is the seat along the aft part of the cockpit between the davits, it folds down to become the right height for use as a dinghy dock. Wide, flat decks are clear of impediments for crew movement forward. Large louvers in the forward end of the saloon restrict sun glare in the interior and are good steps to the cabin top. The large trampoline between the hulls forward provides a comfortable place to lounge.

Accommodation
Access to the saloon is through sliding glass doors that essentially extend the saloon into the cockpit at the same level. Part of the galley counter folds out, enhancing this effect. The galley is in the starboard, aft part of the saloon and is large and easily worked, it's well connected to the cockpit, helm seat, and dinette. The dinette forward provides 360-degree views around the boat and seats eight in comfort. Three ports above the dinette in the forward part of the saloon open for good flow-through ventilation right through to the cockpit.
