About this yacht
Santosha is unique among catamarans of her size. She was retrofit with in-boom furling, a feature often seen in larger luxury catamarans. Now all controls lead back to the cockpit, including those for raising and reefing the main sail. In a pinch, Santosha can be sailed single-handed!
SANTOSHA is a 2010 Leopard 46 that captures why this Robertson & Caine / Morelli & Melvin design remains one of the most respected cruising catamarans in her class. The Leopard 46 was conceived as a true offshore cruising platform with narrow waterline entries, generous bridge-deck clearance, a powerful fractional sail plan, and a raised protected helm that keeps the skipper connected to the cockpit while maintaining excellent visibility.
Unlike many later cruising catamarans that leaned heavily toward interior volume, the Leopard 46 retains a stronger sailing identity. She offers the space and comfort expected of a modern 46-foot catamaran while preserving the proportions, stiffness, and sea manners that make her a favorite among long-distance cruisers and liveaboards.
