Robertson @ Caine Leopards were originally produced pretty much just for the Moorings
Charter Company who then
sold them on to the
charter boat owners. The Moorings Owners' Group is, unfortunately, a closed group but will have a lot of
current and ex
Leopard owners amongst them. The Commodore of the group is Michel Bennarosh who runs a website
Yacht Charters | Discount sailboat charters | Charter yacht ownership | Sailonline.com Apart from being a useful site, Michel is a very helpful guy who I'm sure will be able to put you in touch with some owners.
I used to
skipper for the Moorings and have driven charters and deliveries on Leopards pretty much all over. They are well built strong
boats, if a trifle under-canvassed (To protect Neophyte charterers from damaging them, I suppose!) Like all South
African cats, they are wider than European/American designs and have a lower bridge-deck clearance. I shouldnt worry about this though as what's 1 ft extra clearance in a sloppy lumpy sea anyway? All cats will "slam"; some more, some less.
The proof of the pudding however, for me, is looking at and sailing 7 year old ones: they have stood up remarkably well to the rigours of the charter trade! Tony
