I love this layout diagram.
It's great to see clearly the main indoor area of this fine boat.
Also, it shows another thing that I really like about catamarans:
The separation between the cabins on either side of the boat, for extra sound privacy.
I haven't been inside a catamaran personally, but I have heard stories of noisy neighbours on land, so keeping those cabins separated by not just opposite sides of the boat, but also, down in the water, in separate hulls, does seem like a good design consideration infavour of catamarans over mono hulls.
Great review. Looking forward to the performance video. Thank you.
I had to see the video twice. The first time was looking at Shelley, the second time was looking at the boat!!

I love that drying station.
Like Captain Steve said, if you have just a couple of dishes, it's great.
I'm thinking of let's say a couple on a romantic weekend on the water, or a lone boater, on an adventure / taking time out.
First off, before anything else, great video as always. 😉👍
That said..love the idea of a co-host, ESPECIALLY if it's a person who owns or lives aboard the boat being reviewed. One thought, though: Have the live-aboard owner talk a bit about how that boat meets his/her needs, a bit as to WHY that boat was chosen, maybe? To help us see through the owner's eyes, as it were.
Also, great job on sharing the walkthrough and the commenting on the boat. Although...LOL...it did seem to throw Captain Steve off his rhythm just a bit.
Overall, really enjoyed the video, and I think everyone did a fantastic job. Thanks, to everyone!
Agreed, rhythm seemed thrown off. Video was a little choppy between standard capt steve, them having a conversation, & his voiceovers. I like the idea of co-hosts too, but can we have more conversational videos then?
@@TheCasinoBuds Whew...thanks!! LOL Thought it might be just me thinking it was a bit disjointed. I still loved the video, and Capt. Steve is one of my favorite boat/yacht reviewers, no question. Just...seemed a bit out of his normal, smooth groove this time.
I don't understand: Why all the "empty" space around the sides of the cabin?
I don't like: Two "half good" en suites when there could be one really nice toilet (dayhead) and one really nice shower. If family it's normal to share, if guest it's ok to take what you get. Two beds don't need two en suites...
Cool edition!
Looks good Capt Steve...VIP cabin looks better than the Master cabin :-)
Great boat and layout, really looks like a 50+ Cat. Just wish Leopard would move more toward solar energy. Tech is there to at least run the appliances and AC. Side windows in the suites are very narrow compared to competitors. I want to lay in bed and see the water , surroundings and amazing view not having to sit up. Major point for me. Great job in main deck, 360 views while seated. Great visual and safety factor. When on boats I am constantly keeping a visual of my surroundings, be it weather, position, other vessels etc as the captain or crew member. Visibility is key on a boat.
Leopard have done a excellent job here. Love how you can walk around aft outside table for quick access to stern. Forward door access to bow area and added ventilation is great. Top boat for under 50ft. Well done.

I love that amount of storage across from the galley.
That will presumably be used up by most people as well used galley items, I'm guessing. For example a blender, pots, pans, extra cutting board's, those fresh coconuts you stockpiled from and island you sailed tonthe day before...also I'm guessing some sort of compost bin if composite bins are practical on boating trips.
I love the fact that there are no steps in the main living area of this boat.
Single steps are a trip hazard, as it's harder for your brain to notice them subconsciously, as opposed to a flight of steps.
Thank God for this great layout and this absolutely beautiful interior design.
I love that flybridge...for summer weather
Nice!
This would be great!
Leopard is great and i love their powercats, but they seem to miss the little details often like the extra slots for the forward loungers. or the tv in the master not being able to be rotated or adjusted to face the birth.
the TV rotates in all models.
is there a drain in front of the front door? Either rain or waves will make that a pool quickly. The same issue is on the 53.
Great video, did I miss the price?
No crew cabin?
Huge fan of the bow design. Not sure what the specific term such an approach is called but reminds me of a Thistle Sailboat.
Fairly sure that its referred to as an "axe bow", and i agree that it looks incredible. Seems to be popular among cat manufacturers these days, Sunreef employs a similar concept.
tks for the video, nice and smooth. I'll make the first ocean crossing with this model next August, from South Africa to Brazil and I am sure it will be great! Cheers. Cap. Kodja, from NAUTICA MAGAZINE BRAZIL.
Wow! This is fantastic! Send us pictures. Editorial@boattest.com
Captain Steve, Aquila or Leopard? Which is your favourite?
I was worried Captn Steve was going to get stuck walking through that companion way!
Lots of sharp edges and corners in the interior to bang into while in rough seas
I assume that TV comes out on an articulated arm?

This is a very, family friendly living space.
Nice 👍👍🇦🇺
Thank you! Cheers!
A 50” that only 2 people can watch sitting down. Awesome design.
Liked the videos better with just Captain Steve.
Very nice but Carpet does not belong in a catamaran or a yacht or a trowler !
That grill is tiny
don't like the tv placement in master
I like the concept of having a co-moderator from time to time. :-) It's like music: an awesome duet beats any solo singer at any time! It doesn't mean, I'd be a big fan of Mrs. Morton... But, I like the concept of establishing some co-workers for... let's say... to bridge some leisure time for a vacation? Stuff like that. Spreading the work to get a better work-life-ratio. :o)
Thank you. You say it beautiful. ;)
No engine room !? Really !?
please watch our performance video on boattest.com
Great video, and boat.. just a SECURTY thought maybe you can pass along. ( ok, say dad and the kids leave on the dingy mom wants a nap. )
Bad guys try to board . Why not a pressure alarm on the sugar scoops, and simm platform.
Owners set how many pounds for the alarm to go off Male average 125 pounds. Someone steps on board...alarm gos off. Mom, has a ALERT, quick video, and can hit, the panic, lock all doors. Button....how cool would that be....
For at sea or any dock.....maybe I should have got a patent..
I believe that's an extra that people get installed. Was watching a video of a family with a Leopard 50 and they had one installed.
The TV in the master is idiotic.. It's literally facing the stairs, wtf !?
Nice use of solar and batteries. Not. Such a shame Leopard hasn’t yet joined the 21st Century.
They definitely have options for solar and large battery banks
@@jetguy1205 oh that’s good then. I didn’t see any reference in the video.
I know not a lot of people care about a tv on a boat like this, but what idiot decided to put a 40” tv in the master bedroom that can only be watched if you’re standing, leaning against a wall, 2 feet from the screen?
No one decided that. It clearly swings out.
