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.
SANTOSHA is especially compelling because of her 2023 in-boom electric furling conversion, new Quantum Leisure Boom mainsail, electric winch conversion, updated standing rigging, solar charging, watermaker, Raymarine electronics package, and full cockpit enclosure. These are meaningful cruising upgrades that improve safety, simplify handling, and make the boat easier to operate for a couple or short-handed crew.
With four cabins, three heads, a converted utility space, galley-up arrangement, large saloon, broad protected cockpit, twin Yanmar diesels, Northern Lights generator, and AB tender with electric outboard, SANTOSHA is set up as a comfortable, capable platform for Chesapeake cruising, the Bahamas, Caribbean passagemaking, and extended time aboard.
