2017 Leopard 40 Sweet 2 Bad | 40 FT

2017 Leopard 40 Sailing Catamaran | Excellent Turnkey Caribbean Cruiser | $329,000

Opportunities to acquire a truly turnkey cruising catamaran at this price point are rare. Sweet 2 Bad is a beautifully maintained 2017 Leopard 40 offered in exceptional condition and priced at $329,000 — making her one of the best-value Leopard 40s currently available in the Caribbean.Â

Sweet 2 Bad, a beautifully maintained 4 cabin 2017 Leopard 40, is offered in exceptional condition following an extensive program of servicing, upgrades, and mechanical renewal completed by her owners.

Sweet 2 Bad was placed in the The Moorings fleet by her owners in 2017 and professionally maintained throughout her charter life. The vessel was independently surveyed upon phase-out, after which the owners invested significant time and resources completing major servicing and upgrades to prepare her for reliable, worry-free Caribbean and blue water cruising.

The result is a Leopard 40 that stands apart from typical ex-charter vessels — mechanically sorted, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready to sail immediately with no deferred maintenance or looming expenses.

Powered by twin Yanmar 3YM30 engines, Sweet 2 Bad delivers the dependable performance and sailing ability that has made the Leopard 40 one of the most sought-after cruising catamarans ever built.

Imagine dropping anchor in a quiet Caribbean bay, stepping off the Leopard swim platform for a morning swim, and enjoying sunset drinks in the spacious cushioned cockpit as the trade winds cool the evening. Sweet 2 Bad offers the comfort, sailing performance, and reliability that cruising sailors expect from this proven design.

Why Sweet 2 Bad Stands Out

Unlike many Leopard 40s currently on the market, Sweet 2 Bad has already had the major post-charter servicing completed, eliminating the costly catch-up maintenance that many buyers face after purchase.

Key highlights include:

• Brand-new Ullman genoa – Nov 2025 • Rigging inspected – March 2026 • Generator overhaul completed, including mounts, hoses, cooling blower, heat exchanger end caps, exhaust elbow, rotor, bearings and brushes – March 2026 • Twin Yanmar engines extensively serviced, including new mounts, hoses replaced, heat exchangers serviced, new impellers and air filters – March 2026 • Drive seals, prop shaft seals and diaphragms renewed (major recommended service items completed) – Nov 2025 • 150 ft of new anchor chain installed – Nov 2025 • Both marine heads fully serviced, with all sanitation hoses replaced – Jan 2026 • Air-conditioning system serviced and re-gassed – Jan 2026 • New Raymarine p70s Autopilot Control Head installed – Jan 2026 • Yanmar B20 engine panel replaced – Feb 2026 • New cockpit cushions installed – Feb 2026 • New house battery bank installed – three Lifeline GPL‑4DL AGM Battery units – April 2026 • Tender package included: Highfield Classic 290 aluminum dinghy paired with a NS Marine 9.8hp Outboard – Nov 2025

These works ensure the vessel is mechanically sound and ready for immediate cruising. The boat also conveys with a well-organized inventory of over $4,000 in genuine Yanmar spare parts, including nozzle assemblies, fresh water pump, starter motor and other key service components — an excellent resource for extended Caribbean and blue water cruising!
