The Leopard 45, produced between 1997 and 2004, represents a pivotal era for South African builder Robertson & Caine and the designer duo Simonis Voogd. Originally conceived to meet the rigorous demands of the global charter industry—specifically for The Moorings, where it was branded as the Moorings 4500—this model solidified the Leopard brand's reputation for robust construction and blue-water capability. Unlike modern catamarans that often prioritize interior volume at the expense of bridge deck clearance and sleekness, the original Leopard 45 features a lower profile and a more performance-oriented hull shape that reflects its racing-pedigree design roots. According to the designers at Simonis Voogd, the vessel was engineered to balance high load-carrying capacity with the speed required for long-distance passage making.
