2018 Leopard 58 S/Y Windward Destiny
Refit–Upgraded–Detailed!
Highly Customized Robertson and Caine Leopard 58
Specifications, Equipment and Information
S/Y “Windward Destiny” is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a very special and highly customized catamaran that is ready to take you anywhere on the globe. She is without question, the finest 58 Leopard ever built. Her current owner spared no expense to create one of the easiest sailing, safest, and most comfortable yachts in the world. This extensive custom project started in 2021 with an already very nice and highly optioned Owners Version Leopard 58. She spent the next 6 months at the world renowned Just Catamarans in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and received over half a million dollars in upgrades. “Windward Destiny” is only being offered for sale due to health issues that have prevented the owner from embarking on his planned adventure.
One of the many custom features is the Hydraulic Leisure Furl Boom with Carbon Fiber Mandrel and Harken Hydraulic Vang. This is truly push button sailing and “Windward Destiny” is the only 58 Leopard with this option. This eliminates many of the challenges and risks of raising, lowering, and reefing a large Mainsail. If you plan to sail without a professional crew, this is the only way to go. This yacht was customized so that a couple can easily and safely sail her by themselves. In addition, the back up systems and spares included with the boat are too numerous to list.
To duplicate this yacht today, it would take several years of waiting and a significantly higher investment than todays asking price. This unique opportunity is ideal for a couple or family looking to step in to a turn key world cruiser today and start cruising tomorrow. The owner is motivated and looking forward to passing his dream boat on to someone who can enjoy the full potential of this one of a kind catamaran.
A Portion of the Refit Included:
- Removing over 400’ of wiring and replacing it with upgraded wiring throughout the boat–including all battery and charger/inverter cables, as well as adding many new electrical and USB outlets, effectively doubling inverter and charging power.
- Extensive new shelving and storage effectively doubling a standard Leopard’s storage; With the charter business no longer viable, this makes adding a fourth cabin (which for 50 weeks a year becomes primarily a storage compartment) totally superfluous; a 4th cabin ruins a deserving owner’s private suite and bathroom —which in a truly fine yacht —should flow through the entire starboard hull!
- Replaced the standard Manganese Bronze 3-blade fixed props with two custom matched Nibral 4-blade Variprop feathering propellers.
- New Bauer Jr. dive compressor (never used), as well as two custom-made dive racks.
- Auto-run Rainman 37gpm water maker with auto flush installed (in addition to Spectra Newport 400, for redundancy).

- Bidet wands with flexible hosing added to all heads.
- Wide step ’pads’ added to ladders in both forepeaks for foot comfort.

This latest addition is yet another feature that makes this such a special boat. (Two Year Warranty).
