The Leopard 58 built by Roberston and Caine is amongst the Sail Magazine Best Boat Nominees for 2013.
Here is how the editorial staff describes the Leopard 58 :
"The biggest boat yet from this South African builder makes its world
debut this fall. It offers all the accommodations a cruising family
could conceivably need, with three levels of living space. A plethora of
options includes a six-cabin charter layout, and there are three
distinct outdoor living spaces. The sailplan
features a self-tacking
jib, a rarity on a catamaran but one that makes sense on a boat of these
proportions."
Our favorite "small" luxury catamaran, the SIG 45, is amongst the Sail Magasine Best Boats Nominees for 2013.
This is how the editorial staff describes the Sig 45 :
" This high-performance cat is both a souped-up racing machine, with a
carbon/epoxy hull and a rotating carbon rig, and a stylish family
cruiser. The narrow hulls, canted daggerboards and open bridgedeck
layout speak of speed; the simple, but well-appointed interior looks
both attractive and comfortable. One-design class rules (not to mention a
gorgeous teak deck) promise to make this a unique racer-cruiser
multihull."
