2021 Leopard 45 (Chesapeake Bay)

S/V The Good Part — a 2021 Leopard 45 located in Annapolis, MD, for sale by owner.

Step aboard this 2021 Leopard 45 Owner’s Version and you’ll immediately see why the Simonis & Voogd design earned recognition: generous forward cockpit flow into a bright saloon, a forward-facing galley and dinette, and excellent visibility from the helm and deck. This three‑cabin, three‑head catamaran was built by Robertson & Caine in Cape Town and finished with vacuum‑bagged balsa sandwich construction, giving a displacement of 32,849 lb and a bridgedeck clearance of 2 ft 9 in. She measures 45.00 ft LOA with a 24 ft 3 in beam and 6 ft 5 in headroom throughout the living spaces, dimensions that make her both liveable and capable for extended cruising.

The Good Part has been prepared for long‑range, off‑grid use with 1,520 W of solar feeding a 900 Ah LiFePO4 battery bank and a Cerbo GX touchscreen for smart integration. Systems support comfortable autonomy: air conditioning throughout that can run off the lithium bank, a Spectra Newport 400 12V watermaker, and a full electrical suite including a SmartSolar MPPT and Northern Lights controls at the nav desk. For propulsion she carries twin Yanmar 4JH45 engines turning SD60 saildrives and Max‑Prop feathering props.

A practical owner’s boat, she shows deliberate upgrades and maintenance choices aimed at reliability and ease of use: Racor Turbine fuel filters, Rule 1100 GPH automatic bilge pumps with SuperSwitch float controls, a Lewmar CPX4 vertical windlass with Rocna 88 lb anchor and 330 ft of chain, and an AutoAnchor wireless helm remote with rode counter. Sail handling has been refined with a custom mainsail downhaul at the helm and upgraded Dyneema reefing lines.

The galley and entertainment arrangements are set up for serious cruising and convivial evenings: an ENO three‑burner LPG cooktop, an Isotherm salon refrigerator/freezer and a Vitrifrigo cockpit refrigerator, a Stern‑mount Magma LPG grill, and convenient appliances for living aboard. Heads feature Jabsco quiet flush toilets and teak flooring, and comfort items include bespoke exterior sunshade covers on salon windows, custom folding teak high/low table in the aft cockpit, and a stainless swim ladder on the port sugar scoop.

Located in Annapolis, MD and flagged in the United States, this Leopard 45 has been outfitted and kept as an owner‑operated, never‑chartered vessel, ready for immediate showings by appointment with the owner.
