Beaching a Leopard 42 catamaran
Hi, has anyone out there had experience of beaching a Leopard 42? Were they designed to be beached, how do they sit when the water drains away, any issues I need to consider? Any advise much appreciated. Thanks

No experience with a Leopard, but have beached a 44' cat. Some obvious things, Inspect the bottom first, make sure you've got a kedge set. Even small wave action can pound the hulls badly, and walk the cat up the beach. May not be able to float it off.

Check your tide tables! Make sure you don't put it up on the high spring, or you'll be waiting around for awhile to get it off.

But you could sure give her one hell of a paint job.
