�The Leopard 38 offers exceptional
performance and speed on the water thanks to
a well balanced rig, attention to displacement and
a stepped hull design.
� Inspired by the lines of the Leopard 40 and
Leopard 46, the Leopard 38 also evolves from its
formidable predecessors with increased visibility
and headroom in the saloon. The use of vertical
windscreens in the forward section of the saloon,
results in greater volume and improved ventilation
in the saloon and galley.
�The Leopard 38’s aesthetically pleasing
lines, performance driven design and innovative
features resulting in increased volume without
additional displacement will undoubtedly make this
cat a modern classic.

�The Leopard 38 contains all the top features sailors
desire, including blue water capability, great performance,
solid construction, a superb anchoring system, excellent
ventilation, high quality equipment, large tank capacities,
hard top bimini, and offers excellent value.
�The standard equipment can be enhanced by a range
of quality optional items including generator, air conditioning,
watermaker andmuchmore. Call for details.
�Robertson and Caine uses the most advanced com-
posite GRP sandwich construction. A vacuum bonded E-glass
end-grained balsa cored hull ensures a precise resin to glass
ratio, and is highly compression and impact resistant. E-glass
stitched fabric delivers maximum strength.
� Isophthalic gelcoat and resin rich tissue helps
prevent osmosis. The hull laminate is light and durable
resulting in a dynamic weight carrying capacity and excellent
motion reaction of the hull, yet is also strong for ease of mind.
