The Leopard 42, a 41.5-foot catamaran built by Robertson and Kane in South Africa, features foam-core vacuum-infused construction and a signature forward-cockpit door.0:07 The vessel displaces 27,000 pounds and carries a 67-foot mast height, which restricts passage in some areas of the Intracoastal Waterway.3:18 Its design includes an L-shaped rooftop lounge, island-style berths, and a three-cabin layout.4:55 Performance specifications include twin 45-horsepower Yanmar engines, 159 gallons of diesel capacity, and 174 gallons of water storage.3:26 While the boat offers modern interior finishes and a square-top mainsail, reports from owners have documented significant structural concerns, including hull delamination, compromised welds, and areas constructed of resin and gel coat lacking fiberglass reinforcement.2:23 These build-quality issues contrast with the manufacturer's standard production methods and have prompted scrutiny from prospective buyers regarding long-term structural integrity.
