The Moorings 4700, constructed by the esteemed South African shipyard Robertson & Caine, represents a landmark era in the evolution of the cruising catamaran. Designed by the renowned firm Simonis Voogd Design, the 4700 was commissioned specifically as a flagship for The Moorings’ global charter fleet. While it is technically the charterbranded version of the Leopard 47, the 4700 designation specifically denotes the heavyduty, fourcabin configuration that dominated the Caribbean and Mediterranean charter markets in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It is a vessel defined by its robust construction, characterized by vacuumbonded hulls and a reputation for enduring extreme tropical conditions. Unlike many modern cats that prioritize "condomaran" volume at the expense of seaworthiness, the 4700 maintains a balanced profile with high bridge deck clearance, a feature intended to minimize the rhythmic slamming common in following seas.
