The 40 may be the smallest in the Robertson & Caine fleet, but she is a beautiful, purpose-built yacht crafted for luxury, simplicity and adventure. She also more than makes up for her (relatively) snub LOA with a 21-foot 8-inch beam. Taken in from a distance dockside, she’s a striking boat that takes her styling cues from her larger sisters. Huge windows encircle almost the entire lower deck, while an upswept windshield lends her Leopard’s trademark aggressive, no-nonsense look. The near-black tinted windows running almost the entire hull length add a nicely sweeping, uninterrupted line against the gleaming white gelcoat.
Boarding from astern, it only takes two steps to reach a main deck that’s completely flat clear to the bow sunpads. There’s a comfortable, covered stern cockpit area with a four to five person settee that sets up against a stern table. With a pair of chairs, you could probably wine and dine seven out back. The same goes for the boat’s crown: the fly bridge. Rain or shine, you could have a serious social scene up here—whether cruising the British Virgin Islands, or toasting to a glorious Cape Town sunset.
