We liked it too, except for the lack of a hard top bikini over the helm. Good for chartering though.

Pretty good job of condensing the Leopard 46 overall design into a 44 foot package, then making some improvements. Best new feature I liked were the skylights in the main salon. I'll be surprised if more builders don't start adding those too.

Twanger said: Very nice. We visited this boat at the Annapolis boat show and it's beautiful! I particularly liked what they did with the upper deck. Much more usable space than comparable boats.
Can you give us any hints about what amenities you're going to install before she goes into charter? Twanger she is going to be very similar to Moonshadow. Full air conditioning including the heads and coffin berth. It will only have one coffin berth. Northern lights genset. Outlets at the beds 12volt and 110. The rear sunscreen like moon shadow as well. Jay

capndar said: so has it arrived? Yes the boat is here in St Thomas. I took this shot from the top of a mast this week while changing an anchor light on another boat. It is going to be a great charter boat. I did a short sail check yesterday in the harbor. It's a very nice boat, sails well. Jay

Winterstale said: Who's the pretty mono next door? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> That's Steele The Wind, our 50 Jeneau Deck saloon. Not to shabby either. Gen air fridge freezer ice maker huge sails and a folding prop. Not your typical charter boat.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..... the plot thickens... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/pirate.gif" alt="" />
That's a huge boat for just two couples. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> We can go smaller - and I'd prefer a mono anyway, but up to you!

If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

It was great to have a tour of the boat before our charter in Jan. I thought all the storage was great and having a refrig out in the deck area. Accomodations looked fantastic. Ran into the owners on Virgin Gorda and only complaint was that the Admiral had put food in the outside refrig. I have no doubt this is high on our list for our next charter.
