Leopard 3, the well known maxi racer, is at SYS for significant upgrades and interior modifications whilst she is refitted over the Winter.

The work includes the construction and installation of an entirely new lightweight interior forward of the mast, plus engineering and electrical updates - including a new generator, new air conditioning and plumbing systems. Despite these improvements in creature comforts, the brief is to maintain the lowest possible weight, to this end Nomex cored joinery and carbon fibre are very much in evidence throughout the boat.

She will be re-launched for next season still aggressively fast, but with an interior better suited for the owner and guests to stay aboard.
