Leopard 42 / Moorings 4200 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Leopard 42 means considering a 2020-generation Robertson and Caine catamaran designed by Simonis Voogd, a 41-foot-7-inch vessel that replaced the earlier Leopard 40 and has seen both owner and ex-charter examples change hands. The four-cabin charter layout and the three-cabin owner's version are both out there, with the owner three-cabin arrangement more commonly seen and ex-charter boats a frequent presence on the used scene.
Layouts on the Used Market
The used fleet splits between a three-cabin owner's version and a four-cabin, four-head charter configuration, the latter likely the one you'll meet if browsing ex-charter boats. In the owner's layout the starboard hull is given over entirely to a master suite, kept free of supporting structures for an open view through to the shower, while a pair of staterooms occupies the port hull. The saloon is the standard Leopard arrangement: back-to-back settees linking cockpit and cabin, with the galley placed forward on the starboard side and a nav station by the glass door. Headroom runs 6 feet 7 inches. A staircase with floating steps climbs to an L-shaped lounge atop the cabinhouse, and the helm is built into the starboard cabinhouse under a hardtop.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Leopard 42s commonly carry an inverter, dinghy davits, a watermaker, air conditioning, and a hardtop as delivered or retrofitted gear. For buyer consequence, the hardtop and air conditioning shape liveaboard comfort in warm cruising grounds, while a watermaker extends range without dock water. A genset is available but not essential for house power unless air conditioning is run. Less commonly, boats will have been upgraded with a code zero or gennaker for light-air sailing, electric winches to ease headsail handling, and AIS or autopilot to lighten the watch — these tend to be owner additions rather than standard spec.
What to Inspect
The bows should be checked for the crashboxes with watertight bulkheads that sit just ahead of the sleeping cabins, since their integrity is central to collision safety anchor. Confirm that the one-piece cabinhouse shows no separation from the hull joint, as this construction replaced the three-section tops of earlier boats anchor. Engine compartment hatches open inboard for safe access, so verify the hinges and gas struts operate cleanly anchor. On boats with the optional bow sprit, the trampoline is split by a compression arm, and that fitting deserves a close look for stress or chafe anchor.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats turn up across the United States, the British Virgin Islands, Saint Martin, Spain, the Bahamas, and Saint Lucia. For a buyer, the short list is: confirm the layout matches your plans (owner three-cabin versus charter four-cabin), verify the bow crashboxes and one-piece cabinhouse structure, check the inboard-opening engine hatches, and assess whether air conditioning and a genset suit your cruising style.
