Leopard 40 Thoughts and Experiences

[Camp Director G]

I'm considering a Leopard 40 owners version out of charter. I'd love any direct experiences or thoughts on the 40 and its qualities. In order to avoid some of the common responses, I understand it's about what we're going to use the boat for, and I understand its about personal preference, and I understand that some people don't like boats out of charter. Still, I'd like to know more about the Leopard 40 if anyone has any experiences with them. We expect to do some shorter charters at different places in the world, then own the boat for a possible one year aboard. We're not big blue water sailors, so mostly island hopping and coastal cruising. Forgive me if this has been asked already. I didn't find any good threads on it. Thanks!
