Printer Friendly Version

The Robertson-Caine 45, (also known as the Leopard 45 and/or Moorings 4500) is a very popular and award winning catamaran. In 1998 this innovative design by Alex Simonis, the excellent construction and the immediate popularity of the boat launched Robertson-Caine into today being one of the largest catamaran manufacturers in the world. See the very favorable boat reviews written and published by Cruising World and Multi-Hull magazines on this boat. The primary virtues of the boat are roominess, straightforward systems layout and operation, good all around visibility from the helm and salon/galley, ease of handling under sail and power, certainly speed under power and sail, ease of anchoring, four private cabins with queen-sized berths, each with it’s own private head & shower, and lastly a very people friendly layout which is just plain great for partying inside and out.
