2017 Leopard 40, four-cabin, two-head layout.
I would like to introduce you to Aspiration, a 2017 model Leopard 40, four-cabin, two-head, ready to sail and currently in South Florida. The current owners have enjoyed sailing the Texas coast, Bahamas, and Caribbean with her, but due to life changes will need to pass her on to the next owners.
Aspiration is a rare four-cabin layout, equipped with maximum solar and lithium, a watermaker, a dinghy, air conditioning, and a generator, ready to head for the islands. She has just finished a yard period for fresh bottom paint, saildrive service, some fiberglass touch-ups, and an out-of-water survey to be provided to a buyer.
