LEOPARD 58 WINS THE 2013 CONSUMER CHOICE AWARD AT STRICTLY SAIL MIAMI
MIAMI, FL--(Feb 18, 2013) The Leopard 58 wins the 2013 Consumer Choice Award Best Boat Over 30’ at the Strictly Sail Miami boat show! The National Marine Manufacturers Association developed the Consumer Choice Award this year. However, the NMMA does not select the winners; boat show attendees do the voting. The award offers a true testament to the Leopard 58’s appeal within the most discerning class of reviewers: potential owners.
This award winning yacht brings with it over 40 years of customer feedback. The 58 follows a long line of award-winning luxury blue water cruising catamarans built by world-famous Robertson and Caine. After the diligent efforts of Robertson and Caine and designer Alexander Simonis of Simonis Voogd Design, the team introduced this flagship model in late 2012.
The 58 boasts an incredibly large flybridge with both a lounge area that provides seating for up to 12 people, and a fully outfitted, state-of-the-art helm station. The flybridge exemplifies the outstanding partnering of performance and comfort for which the Leopard line is known.
Just like the award-winning Leopard 44 and Leopard 48, the 58 features Leopard’s signature forward cockpit with direct access from either the saloon or the owners’ cabin, depending on which of the interior layout options the owner selects. The aft cockpit features an expansive open layout with stand-alone tables and chairs that store easily in a cockpit locker when preparing for a voyage.
The 58’s interior offers ample space as well, with either a huge saloon with multiple seating areas or a spacious saloon and large owners’ cabin, again depending on the layout that the buyer selects. Also impressive: the large in-hull state rooms, available in various configurations, as well as the interior details such as wood trim and cherry wood finishes, large windows, comfortable and attractive seating areas and the state-of-the-art galley.
The 58 includes a number of impressive technical design features as well, such as the hydraulic swim and dinghy storage platform, easy-access engine rooms and a smart singlehand-ready helm station.
As the worldwide dealer, we're proud to say that over 1,000 Leopard cats have now sailed more than 9 million miles and the world’s largest oceans. For additional information about Leopard Catamarans, please call Gwenaelle Bernard at 1-727-530-5424 or e-mail at [email protected].
