�The Leopard 38 offers exceptional

performance and speed on the water thanks to

a well balanced rig, attention to displacement and

a stepped hull design.

� Inspired by the lines of the Leopard 40 and

Leopard 46, the Leopard 38 also evolves from its

formidable predecessors with increased visibility

and headroom in the saloon. The use of vertical

windscreens in the forward section of the saloon,

results in greater volume and improved ventilation

in the saloon and galley.

�The Leopard 38’s aesthetically pleasing

lines, performance driven design and innovative

features resulting in increased volume without

additional displacement will undoubtedly make this

cat a modern classic.

�The Leopard 38 contains all the top features sailors

desire, including blue water capability, great performance,

solid construction, a superb anchoring system, excellent

ventilation, high quality equipment, large tank capacities,

hard top bimini, and offers excellent value.

�The standard equipment can be enhanced by a range

of quality optional items including generator, air conditioning,

watermaker andmuchmore. Call for details.

�Robertson and Caine uses the most advanced com-

posite GRP sandwich construction. A vacuum bonded E-glass

end-grained balsa cored hull ensures a precise resin to glass

ratio, and is highly compression and impact resistant. E-glass

stitched fabric delivers maximum strength.

� Isophthalic gelcoat and resin rich tissue helps

prevent osmosis. The hull laminate is light and durable

resulting in a dynamic weight carrying capacity and excellent

motion reaction of the hull, yet is also strong for ease of mind.
