42' Robertson and Caine Leopard 42

Outlander
2002 Robertson and Caine Leopard 42 catamaran

We have to sell our wonderful catamaran, Outlander. We have been living the dream but the first mate wants to return to land. We are only in our third year owning Outlander and it has proved to be a comfortable place to live and it actually sails quite well (much better than expected).

Outlander is easy to board from a dock or dinghy and it is easy to move around from the cockpit to the salon and four cabins. You will find, like we did, that most catamarans of this vintage are not as well designed. Climbing over seats in the cockpit is very common on other models. Access and comfort moving around the vessel was a priority for us when we selected a Leopard 42. The Leopard 42 design has significantly influenced the new catamaran designs.

Outlanders equipment has been renewed during the last four years as a partial refit. Most catamarans of this vintage are also due for a refit. The previous owner and I have done the expensive parts of the refit on Outlander saving new owners time and money. There are a few things that could still be addressed in a full refit like shower drain pump replacement, hatch glazing replacement, one new fuel gauge is not working properly sometimes, and the primary anchor chain is not new but still working fine. Same with the engines, they do not seem to need anything but continued regular maintenance. They have operated just like NEW engines for us.

Outlander features and equipment
-4 comfortable queen mattresses in each of the four spacious cabins,
-4 new heads in 2018 featuring electric large bowl heads (toilets) and showers.
-2 original Yanmar 39 hp engines, they start and run like new, even with over 3000 hours on them. The engines have been maintained properly and should continue to be reliable for a couple more decades with proper care.
-Outlander has propeller shaft drives rather than the more common sail drive in catamarans. Shaft drive is conventional and seen on almost all inboard powered vessels.
