Candidate Models / Leopard 40 (2015-)
Specs summary: ~40 ft cruising catamaran with multiple common layouts (eg owner's 3-cabin vs charter 4-cabin). Dimensional fit is good on LOA/beam/draft, but published air draft / bridge clearance figures appear to exceed the 63 ft baseline cap.

| Beam | 21-26 ft (6.40-7.92 m) |
| Draft | 3 ft 9 in-5 ft 4 in (1.14-1.63 m) |
| Bridge deck clearance | >= 30 in (0.76 m) at loaded displacement (lowest point); prefer ~33 in (0.84 m) |
