The record breaking super-maxi Leopard 3 returned from the Mediterranean at the beginning of November to begin a full refit period. Keeping this 100ft racing machine in perfect race and charter condition is no easy task.
As soon as she touched the dockside in the UK, the towering 142ft Southern Spars mast and boom were craned out closely followed by the 4 tonne keel, 12 tonne bulb and twin rudders for a full inspection. This specialised work is being undertaken at Saxon Wharf, Southampton where the Ocean Marine team have erected a purpose built ‘refit shed’ to undertake a major overhaul of the mechanical systems.
A full top to toe paint job both internally and externally will also be undertaken. This refit will ensure that Leopard 3 remains at her best aesthetically, but more importantly, it should allow her impeccable reliability record to continue for the up and coming charter seasons. Leopard 3 is set to be re-commissioned in the spring of 2016 ready for the busy UK summer and corporate sailing season beginning in June.
The culmination of the UK summer season will be closely followed by a prowl around the Mediterranean racing circuit, which will then end with Leopard racing across the transatlantic. On arrival in Antigua, Leopard will change her spots once again to become term charter ready to welcome families on board for the 2016/2017 Caribbean season.
