A Leopard 45 Flooded Crossing the Atlantic. 5 Used Catamarans That Can Really Make It

Five used catamarans that can genuinely cross an ocean - from about $289,000 to $799,000 asking - and the one inspection that matters most on each. Almost all of them carry a Category A "ocean" rating. I show you what that plate covers, what it leaves out, and a real 2024 Atlantic crossing that went wrong. You'll leave with a 5-point used-catamaran checklist: below the waterline, saildrives, rig, structure (check #4, the one most buyers skip) and the logbooks plus a real sea trial.
