Presenting a masterclass in modern catamaran design, Russian Dove is a premier 2022 Leopard 45 Owner’s Version that seamlessly blends blue-water performance with sophisticated liveability. Commissioned with over $218,000 in factory options, Russian Dove has a proven coastal pedigree, having cruised the Eastern Seaboard from the Florida Keys to the rugged coast of Maine. Unlike standard high-hour charter vessels, she is a privately owned sanctuary featuring a dedicated starboard owner’s hull and a massive 1640W solar array for true energy independence. Professional carpenters made several improvements to interior cabinetry providing a more functional living space. Other custom touches on the exterior such as increased hand holds and steps improves safety while moving around the deck at sea. Recent 2025 and 2026 updates—including new air conditioning, a standing rigging inspection at Lyman Morse, and upgraded Max-Prop propellers—ensure she is turn-key for her next voyage. From the signature forward cockpit to her high-performance Starlink connectivity, Russian Dove is designed for short handed sailing while offering the ultimate platform for self-sufficient, luxury world cruising for the entire family.

Brokers Remarks:
Russian Dove is a truly turn-key Leopard 45, fully optimized for everything from coastal hops to global cruising. Lightly used and exceptionally well-maintained, she features over $100k in documented upgrades to her power management, safety systems, and interior livability. Custom touches such as custom stainless foot rest at the helm, split mattresses to access storage below, and custom cabinet work makes this boat standout among the rest. Likely the finest Leopard 45 currently on the market, Russian Dove is priced for an immediate sale.
