For Sale: 2006 Leopard 40

She’s awesome, and she’d love to find a new owner to continue her journeys with! Perfect for a couple or a family of 4 or 5. Big enough to fit everyone, but not so huge as to be a handful for a small crew. Plus, she sails pretty quickly!

***Important note: The Volvo engines are running strong, no issues, low hours. They’re great just like they are, BUT great news, these engines are covered by a voluntary Volvo recall related to emissions. So….Volvo is shipping us brand new D1-30s that will be installed in Fort Lauderdale at the end of May. Thus, you’re buying a used boat with brand new, immaculate, and awesome engines!

She looks nice. I’m curious about a couple of things: I presume you pulled out the stock Northern Lights gen? Why, and does the little Honda get the job done for you? What limitations have you found from having only 2kw? I also presume Air con is a no-go except for shore power? Lastly, you don’t mention an inverter?

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your comments.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have A/C. There are circuits on the panel for air-con, but she does not have A/c nor a Northern Lights genset. I don't think she ever had either, but rather started out as a rather humble boat in 2006. A/C was on my wife's "must have" list, but with the steady breezes this year she actually hasn't missed it.

A previous owner added the Honda 2000 to support the 110 draw of the watermaker. This is a standard addition with the Cruise R/O unit, as the Honda is considered much cheaper, much less finicky, and much easier and cheaper to repair. I try not to be opinionated about boat decisions (there are plenty of opinions out there!) but in *my experience* our little Honda soldiers along with no complaint, while our friends on a newer L450 and on a Leopard 46s have had to divert here and there to try to search out lift pumps and generator parts for their setups.

Inverter: there is a small inverter suitable for running kitchen appliances and charging laptops, etc. Otherwise 110V power flows from the outlets when the generator runs.

Thanks, Andy!
