Designed by the South African naval architect Alexander Simonis and built by Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 47 remains one of the most respected bluewater catamarans from the early 2000s production era. Produced between 2000 and 2005, the model was engineered primarily for the rigorous demands of the global charter industry—most notably serving as the flagship of The Moorings fleet under the designation Moorings 4700. Its reputation is built on a "battlehardened" construction philosophy that prioritized structural stiffness and hull thickness before the industry shifted toward lighter, highvolume "condomaran" designs. The 47 was an evolution of the earlier Leopard 45, featuring extended sugarscoop transoms that increased the waterline length and helped prevent the stern from "squatting" when heavily loaded with cruising gear.
