Leopard Catamarans 38

While our family adventure draws to a close this is the opportunity to begin yours. 'Crowded House' has been fully prepared over several years for offshore sailing and liveaboard cruising to New Zealand IVC (Cat 1) standards. With final fitout and inspection conducted in early 2025, Crowded House is in pristine condition and has been a pleasure to live aboard for our family of 5.

The 2010 L38 was award winning when it was released due to the balance of performance, strength, comfort and space. It was named cruising multihull Boat of the Year by both Cruising World Magazine and Sail Magazine, in the Cruising Multihull category, Best Import Boat of the Year by Cruising World and Asia Boating Award.

Currently sailing in the Lau Group, Fiji, we will be living aboard for the remainder of this season with the boat available either in Fiji or NZ from late October/early November or when/where agreed. If you are interested in purchasing a NZ registered vessel based in Fiji, Crowded House will be available for viewing in the Nadi/Musket Cove area from September.
