Leopard Catamarans has confirmed the 43 for its North American premiere at the Annapolis Sailboat Show from 15 to 18 October 2026. The sailing catamaran follows its Cannes world debut and will appear alongside the Leopard 46 and 52 in Maryland.
The news is the model's first scheduled North American show appearance, not the unveiling of a second new design. Leopard says the official display gives visitors a chance to compare the three catamarans and discuss ownership arrangements with its specialists.
A new model crosses the Atlantic
The 43 introduces reverse-bow hull lines and a revised rig within Leopard's cruising-sail range. Its configuration is designed around outdoor living and practical helm access rather than turning the boat into a pure race catamaran.
The builder's earlier model announcement describes the forward lounge and relationship between helm, saloon and cockpit. Viewing the actual boat at Annapolis will be more useful than inferring a layout solely from marketing imagery.
Three yachts at City Dock
Leopard lists the 43, 46 and 52 for the 2026 show, with the 46 displayed in its Moorings 4600 configuration. Visitors should verify the exact display access and whether a particular layout is aboard the show yacht.
The show runs from Thursday 15 October through Sunday 18 October at Annapolis City Dock. Advance appointments are available through the builder, while organiser access and tickets remain a separate matter.
What to compare aboard
A buyer moving from a monohull to a cruising catamaran can use the display to compare helm positions, cabin space, sail-handling arrangements and access to machinery. Differences between individual hulls and options should be checked in current builder documentation.
LYG's official Leopard 43 model photograph depicts the named yacht and does not imply a photograph of the future Annapolis display. This announcement is linked to the site's existing Annapolis Event page.
