Hello All Im considering purchasing a used Lagoon 410S2 or Leopard 40 both owners versions.

Lagoon 380 vs leopard 40. A unique saloon to bow access door gives easy access for sunbathing and chilling out on the deck. French catamaran builder Lagoon has been searching for the magic bullet for 20 years. Between 2004 and 2009 Leopard produced 136 Leopard 40s before replacing it with the Leopard 39.

Leopard has those steps which block light and visibility from the interior. Then in 2014 Leopard engaged with Simonis Voogd Design to launch a newer Leopard 40 model that is still in production today with over 210 vessels produced. Many of the manufacturers are unveiling their 40-ft catamaran models this Fall 2015 and it seems to be the hottest ticket in cruising catamarans right now.

In this family of 40-footers capable of taking you long-term cruising we only find catamarans there are no trimarans. Leopard 46 Charter Layout. The dilemma has been how to replace their uber-popular 380 cat that launched over 800 hulls and is still in limited production.

All new Leopard 40s and 46s have sail drives. Lagoon 380 vs Leopard 38. In 2004 Leopard partnered with designers Morelli Melvin for their Leopard 40 model.

I spent a couple of seasons in Ibiza been the proud captain of a Lagoon 380. The more popular sailing catamarans in the 40-ft range are Lagoon 400S2 Bali 40 Leopard 40 Nautitech Open 40 and Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40. I am leaning towards the Lagoon and the wife wants the Leopard.

The 380 comes with undersized engines as well maybe the same 19 HP Yanmars but I find my upgraded Yanmar 3GM30s 27 HP to be the minimum acceptable. Hi all Im currently in the market for a slightly larger cat having just sold a PDQ-36. They are similar in length but there are significant differences between these catamarans in profile styling power to weight ratios volume and comfort.
