The Leopard 52 – which is now available for pre-order, with deliveries scheduled for 2026, both in Australia and worldwide – has been designed for blue-water passage making and long-term liveaboard comfort, built to adapt to every lifestyle on the water.
Suitable for everything from adventurous ocean crossings to relaxed coastal cruising, the Leopard 52 carries forward the DNA of her award-winning predecessor, the Leopard 50 – but takes innovation, performance, and style to new heights.
Her design delivers a seamless indoor–outdoor flow with stackable sliding doors, allowing effortless movement between the salon, aft cockpit, and the signature forward lounge.

The watertight door feature also provides safe foredeck access and excellent natural ventilation, a hallmark of the Leopard line.
Naval architects Simonis Voogd have optimised the Leopard 52 for performance and ease of handling – and the powerful rig, overlapping genoa, and stepped hull design ensure agile handling and steady cruising in all conditions.
The rig has also been upgraded with a taller mast and longer boom, offering 17 percent more upwind sail area than the Leopard 50.
The lowered boom improves access to the stack-pack for safer sail handling, and performance sail options include square-top mainsail and Code 0 in Ulman’s Aramid fabric – capable of exceeding true wind speed.
Leopard’s signature protected helm station allows single-handed sailing with all lines leading aft. The upgraded twin-seat helm provides superior visibility, ergonomic comfort, and easy access to both social areas and controls.
From the solar-ready hardtop to the optional hybrid-electric propulsion system, every detail supports energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and long-term self-sufficiency at sea.
A built-in roof platform supports up to 1,600W of flush-mounted solar panels, seamlessly integrated into the coach roof and connected to the onboard battery bank – minimising generator use and maximising energy independence.
With 10 layout options, owners also have the opportunity to tailor the Leopard 52 to their exact cruising style, whether for private ownership, or charter operations with The Moorings.
