Leopard is now reluctantly for sale
For various reasons (which I will be quite happy to explain to a potential purchaser), the time has come to offer Leopard for sale. This is not being done lightly, for she has served Select Sailing well, and I will be very sorry to see her go. Pending her sale, she will continue to work for Select Sailing and provide the usual mix of RYA courses and skippered cruises.
For those who have not sailed on her, Leopard is a superb example of a late 1950's classic yacht. She was designed and built as a sail training craft for Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, where countless cadets and officers (including Bill Anderson, founder of the RYA YachtMaster scheme) sailed on her. Those who have sailed on her recently have also been "wowed" by her character, good looks and superb sailing ability.
