The Leopard 43, designed by the renowned firm Simonis & Voogd and built by Robertson & Caine, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of performanceoriented cruising catamarans. Launched in 2004 as a successor to the popular Leopard 42, the 43 was engineered to balance the rigorous demands of the global charter industry—specifically for The Moorings, where it was branded as the Moorings 4300—with the aspirations of private bluewater cruisers. This model solidified Robertson & Caine’s reputation for "stepped hulls," a design feature that allows for expansive interior volume above the waterline while maintaining a narrow, efficient hull shape below it. Unlike its successors, which moved toward the signature forward cockpit, the Leopard 43 remains a classic example of a traditional, robust multihull layout that prioritizes bridge deck clearance and structural rigidity.
