Description
Impeccable Design and Layout
Bred from the award-winning Leopard 42, the 2006 Leopard 43 adds dynamic enhancements—a hardtop bimini, longer transoms, fixed stainless steel davits, and twin Yanmar 39 HP naturally aspirated engines. These features combine to deliver not only robust performance but also reliability and ease of use, ensuring cruisers are equipped to handle a variety of maritime conditions.
This vessel boasts an intelligently designed layout ideal for long-term cruising and comfortable onboard living. The interior features four spacious double cabins, each with its own private head and shower—offering privacy for every guest. Two additional single berths in the forward bows provide ample sleeping capacity for extended journeys with family or friends.
The galley-up configuration maximizes both panoramic views and functionality. High-quality Corian work surfaces add a touch of refined practicality. The V-shaped saloon comfortably seats eight, creating a welcoming space for dining or relaxing. A large aft deck platform, with direct access to the cockpit via the hardtop, expands the living area and invites outdoor enjoyment.
Performance and Ease of Navigation
Hazle's Dawn is as capable as she is comfortable. All control lines lead aft to the raised helm, making for effortless single-handed sailing—even in challenging conditions.
Built for Modern Cruising
All standing rigging was replaced in 2019, reinforcing the vessel’s safety standards and performance capability. This Leopard 43 remains a top choice for discerning cruisers who value innovation and proven craftsmanship.
The Perfect Blend of Form and Function
Whether you're looking for luxurious overnight accommodations, a smart space for entertaining, or a dependable platform for bluewater cruising, Hazle's Dawn delivers. She embodies Leopard’s reputation for performance and quality—ready for both serene escapes and adventurous passages.
