2010 Leopard 38'

Flip Flop (what better name for a cruising vessel?) is a 4-cabin, 2-head version of the popular Leopard 38. This is a sought after cruising vessel for a family or a couple; with plenty of living space in the salon and cockpit, wide side decks and expansive foredeck with large trampoline. The mast height is 62'8", making Flip Flop ICW friendly! The owners have made numerous upgrades and cruising-friendly ‘tweaks’ over time and have kept up with maintenance, so this boat is clean and in good condition. 

Flip Flop was bought by the current owners from the Sunsail fleet in Turkey in 2016. They sailed the Mediterranean until 2021 when they crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean. They took the boat from the eastern Caribbean as far as the ABC Islands, Columbia and Panama before heading for the Bahamas and the east coast of the USA. So this boat has proven its pedigree as a sound, long-distance cruising vessel. 

This is a 220V vessel and comes with a comprehensive inventory of 220V electrical equipment (see Galley & Electrical). The Yanmar 3YM30, 29 HP engines have around 4200 hours and were serviced in July 2024.
