Leopard 58

The Leopard 58 is a 17.6-meter fractional sloop catamaran, designed by Simonis Voogd Design and built by Robertson, Caine from 2011 to the present, primarily for the charter trade, also marketed as the MOORINGS 5800. It features a twin keel hull, an 8.5-meter beam, a 1.8-meter draft, and a displacement of 28,000 kg. Aboard *Sailing Big Lost*, the crew of a Vision Triple Four, a variant of the Leopard 58, motored for 12 hours at 6.5 knots from Prickly Pear Island to St. Martin, managing heavy sargassum that fouled the props and rudder.19:42 They installed an airlock system on the air conditioning units to prevent mildew and planned an alternator upgrade in St. Martin.5:59 The same crew completed a 400-nautical-mile passage from Bonaire to Cartagena, Colombia, in three days, striking an underwater obstruction near the harbor entrance but finding no visible damage.13:52 They navigated river debris and monitored katabatic winds near Santa Marta.11:08 While hauled out in Florida, their Vision 444 catamaran sustained hull damage from a collision and a travel-lift operator incorrectly positioned a sling, snapping a propeller and bending a drive shaft.5:44 They replaced corroded Lewmar portlight windows, addressed a marine toilet issue, and installed a new air conditioning unit.11:09 Preparing for a 5-to-6-day passage from Eleuthera to St. Thomas, the crew of a Vision 444ES tightened standing rigging, troubleshot a radar light, and replaced frayed Dyneema lines for the code sail snatch blocks, carrying extra diesel for the motor-heavy transit.27:38 Aubrey of *Sailing Miss Lone Star* reviewed a Leopard 58 in Richard's Bay, South Africa, noting its six cabins, seven heads, and crew quarters.4:54
