Leopard 43 Powercat TIME OUT

Tax paid in New Zealand and Tonga

TIME OUT is a 2007 Leopard 43 catamaran that presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a comprehensively equipped and established blue water cruiser. Designed by Simonis-Voogd and built by Robertson & Caine, TIME OUT features a four-cabin, four-head owner's configuration, making it ideal for families or cruising with guests.

This 2007 Leopard 43 stands out due to the depth and quality of her equipment. Power generation is remarkable: 950W of solar across five panels feeds twin lithium phosphate house banks totaling 500Ah - with the larger installed in 2021 and an additional 200Ah added new in 2024. This is backed by a 5,000W pure sine wave inverter and a Victron Centaur charger. A brand-new 350W wind generator is aboard awaiting installation, and shore power is fitted throughout. The watermaker and Marinaire air-conditioning and heating ensure comfortable self-sufficiency in any climate.

The navigation suite is Raymarine throughout, including: Axiom 9 chartplotter, autopilot, wind instruments, depth sounder, and GPS; complemented by a Simrad combination VHF/AIS and forward-facing sonar in the port hull. Entertainment is well catered for with a Denon projector onto a roll-down screen and a Fusion stereo.
