Broker Overview

This 2018 Leopard 58, 'Windward Destiny,' represents a unique opportunity in the large catamaran market. While Leopard catamarans are known for their robust build and charter-friendly layouts, this particular vessel stands out significantly due to an extensive, half-million-dollar refit completed in 2021. The owner's intent was global cruising, and the upgrades reflect this, focusing on ease of operation, safety, and self-sufficiency. The most notable enhancement is the custom hydraulic Leisure Furl boom with a carbon fiber mandrel, a feature that transforms mainsail handling into a push-button operation, making this 58-foot yacht genuinely manageable by a couple. This is a critical consideration for serious cruisers who prioritize safety and convenience over relying on a full crew. The Yanmar 4JH110-M engines provide reliable propulsion, and the 3-cabin, 4-head layout offers excellent privacy and comfort. Given the significant investment in upgrades and the owner's health-related reason for sale, this Leopard 58 is positioned as a turn-key, highly capable cruising platform, offering substantial value compared to a standard model. It's a yacht for a buyer who understands the cost and effort involved in such a comprehensive customization.

Expert Review

The Leopard 58 is a proven platform, known for its volume, stability, and robust construction, making it a popular choice for both charter and private ownership. Its fiberglass hull is designed for durability. While typically well-appointed, this specific 2018 model truly distinguishes itself with its comprehensive refit. The addition of the hydraulic Leisure Furl boom is a game-changer for mainsail management, significantly improving safety and ease of use, a common challenge on larger catamarans. When considering this vessel, a thorough survey should focus on the integration and functionality of all custom systems, particularly the hydraulic boom and associated rigging. Pay close attention to the condition of the Yanmar engines, ensuring all service records are current. Comparatively, a standard Leopard 58 would require substantial investment to achieve this level of customization and operational ease. This yacht offers excellent value for a buyer seeking a fully optimized, turn-key cruising catamaran without the typical new-build wait or refit headaches.

Highly Customized Robertson and Caine Leopard 58

Specifications, Equipment and Information

S/Y "Windward Destiny" is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a very special and highly customized catamaran that is ready to take you anywhere on the globe. She is without question, the finest 58 Leopard ever built. Her current owner spared no expense to create one of the easiest sailing, safest, and most comfortable yachts in the world. This extensive custom project started in 2021 with an already very nice and highly optioned Owners Version Leopard 58. She spent the next 6 months at the world renowned Just Catamarans in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and received over half a million dollars in upgrades. "Windward Destiny" is only being offered for sale due to health issues that have prevented the owner from embarking on his planned adventure.

One of the many custom features is the Hydraulic Leisure Furl Boom with Carbon Fiber Mandrel and Harken Hydraulic Vang. This is truly push button sailing and "Windward Destiny" is the only 58 Leopard with this option. This eliminates many of the challenges and risks of raising, lowering, and reefing a large Mainsail. If you plan to sail without a professional crew, this is the only way to go. This yacht was customized so that a couple can easily and safely sail her by themselves. In addition, the back up systems and spares included with the boat are too numerous to list.

In addition to the numerous previous upgrades, In March of 2026 "Windward Destiny" just had an additional refiit including all of the Standing Rigging replaced, engines and generator serviced, and much more ! This unique opportunity is ideal for a couple or family looking to step in to a turn key world cruiser today and start cruising tomorrow. The owner is highly motivated and looking forward to passing his dream boat on to someone who can enjoy the full potential of this one of a kind catamaran.
