Indeed, the
Leopard 47 is a stretched version of the 45 with refinements to the
interior layout and a few more amenities. I owned both: a 1999
Leopard 45 in the BVIs (for 5 years), then a 2005 Leopard 47 (until Irma
). Both fine sailing boats, designed by Alex Simonis.
The newer
Leopard 45 (the ones with the "walk through"
salon, sliding doors opening on to the foredeck and the "front porch") are completely different designs than the older models.
