ICAP LEOPARD 3

When Englishman Mike Slade wanted to build his latest Maxi Leopard 3, he came to McConaghy Boats. With the immediate success and proven reliability of canting keel super-maxis Alfa Romeo and Wild Oats X1, McConaghy Boats experience in constructing specialized hulls, foils, steering systems and composite components enabled us to construct one of the most technologically complex yachts afloat.

The Farr design Leopard 3 is a Mega Maxi, designed and constructed to break records, then seamlessly move into charter mode. Its dimensions of 30 m length, (including a fixed bowsprit of 4.5 m) plus rig height of 47 m provide an enormous sail area, combined with its beam of 6.8m, canting keel and twin hydraulic dagger-boards, converts this into massive power. Smashing the Rolex Fastnet record straight out of the box is a testament to the reliability and ingenuity of the team at McConaghy Boats.
