Yacht: Blue Leopard
Submit Information on this Yacht
Blue Leopard was built for Mr Desmond Molins who wanted a yacht that would be as fast under power as under sail. She was to be easily driven, shallow of draught, and handled by a small crew.
Laurent Giles achieved this and she is often spotted competing well in the classic regattas of the Mediterranean.
