South Africa’s Leopard Catamarans has unveiled its latest marvel, the Leopard 46, at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Stability, huge space, low fuel consumption and an extra punch of power are what typify the yachts from Fountaine Pajot and Leopard.

With sustainability cruising in mind, it makes sense that catamarans are seeing a jump in demand because these yachts are much more energy-efficient than monohulls.

Since launching Bali Catamarans in 2014, Catana Group CEO Olivier Poncin has shaken up the world of cruising catamarans, building a brand that’s challenging the long-established leaders.

Replacing the Lagoon 52, the new 55 sailing cat has a newly designed cockpit and aft area, along with a choice of four, five or six cabins.

Rafa Nadal, the 19-time Grand Slam champion, and his wife Maria have received their personalised 80 Sunreef Power from the Polish shipyard.
