TIME OUT is a 2007 Leopard 43 catamaran representing an exceptional opportunity to acquire a comprehensively equipped and established blue water cruiser. Designed by Simonis-Voogd and built by Robertson & Caine, TIME OUT offers a four-cabin, four-head owner's configuration ideal for families or cruising with guests.
What truly distinguishes this 2007 Leopard 43 is the depth and quality of her equipment. Power generation is exceptional: 950W of solar across five panels feeds twin lithium phosphate house banks totalling 500Ah - the larger installed in 2021, a further 200Ah added new in 2024 - backed by a 5,000W pure sine wave inverter and a Victron Centaur charger. A brand-new 350W wind generator is aboard awaiting installation, and shore power is fitted throughout. The watermaker and Marinaire air-conditioning and heating ensure comfortable self-sufficiency in any climate.
The navigation suite is Raymarine throughout, including: Axiom 9 chartplotter, autopilot, wind instruments, depth sounder, and GP; complemented by a Simrad combination VHF/AIS and forward-facing sonar in the port hull. Entertainment is well catered for with a Denon projector onto a roll-down screen and a Fusion stereo.

All seacocks replaced with Truedesign units (August 2024)
Fresh antifouling applied (2024)
