DALA is a 3-cabin Owner's Version Leopard 48, lovingly maintained by her one and only owner since being purchased as the boat show display catamaran.

Easily the most well equipped Leopard 48 to hit the market, she has benefited from substantial investment in upgrades specifically chosen to prepare her for long distance blue water cruising. Offering an exceptional combination of self sufficiency, reliability and comfort, she presents a rare opportunity to step aboard a comprehensively equipped cruising catamaran without the time and expense of undertaking these improvements yourself.

DALA features a beautiful, spacious interior and is comprehensively set up for comfortable short-handed cruising.

The elevated helm station offers complete weather protection and excellent visibility. With two electric winches close at hand, sail handling is easily managed, making passagemaking and watchkeeping comfortable and enjoyable from the double helm seat.

Under sail, Leopard 48s of this era have a proven pedigree, with their origins on the rugged South African coast. The fine hulls and plumb bows feature generous flare above the waterline, providing additional buoyancy in rough conditions and greater interior volume without compromising performance.

Under power, the well-maintained 54hp Yanmar diesels with SD60 saildrives deliver reliable, efficient performance, cruising comfortably at 7 knots and reaching 9 knots when required.

The Leopard 48 is renowned for her spacious cockpit, providing the perfect setting to relax with family or entertain friends. Adding to her appeal is the distinctive forward cockpit, making exceptional use of space both inside and out. Wide, flat side decks with recessed hatches provide safe and easy access forward, through the walk through saloon and into the signature forward cockpit.

Inside, the interior feels more like an apartment on the water. The desirable Owner's Version layout dedicates the entire starboard hull to the owner, featuring a spacious aft queen berth, a private midships lounge with office desk, and a bright, well appointed full size bathroom. The port hull provides excellent accommodation for family and guests, with two bathrooms, an aft queen berth, a forward double berth and an additional single crew berth in the bow.

With her outstanding accommodation, proven offshore design and extensive investment in cruising systems, DALA presents a rare opportunity to secure a lovingly maintained Leopard 48 that is exceptionally well prepared for the next adventure. Whether planning extended blue water passages, exploring remote anchorages or enjoying life aboard with family and friends, she is ready to take you there.
