Serious training for cruising sailors, and those who want to be
An excellent all-around cruising yacht, the Dufour Gib’Sea 43 is built to combine comfort with performance. There’s ample space and headroom in the well-lit areas below deck, and access to the ship’s mechanical and electrical systems is easy and well-defined. Three double cabins and one with bunks provide accommodations for a crew of five.
The Gib’Sea 43 received one of Cruising World magazine’s Boat of the Year awards in 2001. Her flexibility and balanced nature make an excellent fit for both beginning and experienced cruisers.

The Island Spirit 37 is rugged, fast and remarkably spacious. The ample sail area gives her a good turn of speed while the careful arrangement of deck gear makes sail handling a pleasure. All controls are close to the wheel and the steering is light and responsive. Deck layout features a uniquely easy access off the transom "sugar scoops" straight into the roomy cockpit, uncluttered decks, wide anti-skid steps up at the mast, and walk-up louvered front windows. About Time is the main boat used for our cruising catamaran courses at the Fort Lauderdale base.

Naval architects Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost based their design of the Lagoon 450 on the latest long-range cruising multihull technological developments. Even at first glance, it is apparent that care has been taken in the aesthetic and functional design of the yacht: on deck, the coachroof lines are long and elegant, the forms are dynamic, spaces are cleverly used, ergonomics are optimal.

Builder's Remarks: We are pleased to announce that the Leopard 45 has been awarded 2017 Boat of the Year by Cruising World Magazine. This marks the 7th Cruising World Boat of the Year win by Leopard. This year’s award was in the newly created Best Charter Catamaran category proving that South African Builders, Robertson and Caine, have perfected the art of not only creating the perfect private owner’s boat but one that is perfectly suited for the charter industry as well.
The Leopard 45 proved to be the leader of the pack in all areas of the judging. What stood out in particular was her performance and innovation. Additionally, the judges were impressed by the amount of space provided by the forward cockpit, which is connected to the saloon through a translucent door. Another area of interest to the judges was the main saloon, which hosts a forward facing galley and dinette. The judges also noted that visibility through the Leopard 45 is excellent.
