History

Following in the success of the 81ft Ocean Leopard, the Farr 80 Longobarda and finally the Reichel Pugh 97 Leopard of London, Mike Slade’s yacht management company, Ocean Marine, announced the arrival of the third "Leopard" in 2007.

Leopard is Ocean Marine’s third custom build, a culmination of 20 years experience campaigning record breaking Super Maxis on the international race circuit.

The brief given to the designers was to create a luxurious signature charter yacht, a passage record breaker and a race winning super maxi. Given the emphasis on the charter market, Ocean Marine turned to Farr Yacht Design for a unique and very different solution which would encompass a more voluminous interior.
