Leopard 46

A word from the owners

"The Leopard 46 is a great sailing boat that will let you feel safe in all conditions, with good visibility to all corners of the boat.  We have made Akasa our home for almost three years, and couldn't have been happier with Akasa’s performance and comfort over the 10,000 nautical miles that we have travelled. The 1.4m draft means that you can tuck Akasa into almost any anchorage and the robust Rocna MkII anchor tackle means that you can feel comfortable sleeping or leaving Akasa for land adventures. Akasa can be the centre of activity when you are cruising with other boats, given the ample cockpit and salon space, or a private refuge with plenty of space to move and think. 

The adventure awaits and Akasa is a boat that can take you anywhere you want to go". (Bali. Indonesia. September 2025).

Accommodation

A four cabin boat, each hull has two bathrooms amidships, with a dry head and shower.  The two aft cabins can be described as staterooms, with  Queen size island berths and ensuite heads and showers which are a generous size and enclosed by proper doors.  The forward cabins have semi-island double berths, access to the ensuite heads and separate showers, and as for all the other cabins, have ample storage lockers and hanging wardrobes.  The port forward head has been converted to pantry / utility room with floor to ceiling pantry and siting  the washing machine while still being usable as a sink /vanity. 

On the bridgedeck the living space very much shares with the  spacious cockpit, the galley tucking up next to the cockpit.  In addition to two overhead hatches, there are three opening ports in the forward facing saloon windows, creating abundant airflow.  

The Cockpit

A big feature of this boat, the design of the cockpit gives pleasantly curving seats, lounges and easy access to the transoms.  The Leopard 46 cockpit is very often a subject of envy!  Perhaps it is the 25’ beam, which
contributes to the sense of lateral space, and the way the interior lounge / saloon is positioned somewhat further
forward, slightly reducing interior space but providing the most used part of the boat, the cockpit, with a huge amount of usable and versatile space.

To add to the comfort is the overhead hatch, which opens forward to act as a wind scoop to
provide a cooling breeze, a very nice feature in the tropics.  AKASA'S cockpit is fitted with sun shades on all sides.
The helm seat is raised for good visibility and designed to be safe in all weathers. It is a winner for many cruisers who dislike being up many steps in a flybridge, far from everyone else on board and away from everything.
