Port fwd heads remain for use as a day heads | No | No | We wanted 4 cabins, can always use the cabin to store, but if you want guests to come, then you only have 3 cabins, also did not make sense with the utility as it still had a head, so not logical for us |

Wired remote control at helm station. - Note: Raymarine MDFs (not included in option) & personal wireless devices (only if connected wirelessly to Raymarine MFD via the Raymarine APP) can control system | No | Maybe | I did fit it later myself, but maybe it would have been better from the factory. |

These are used 24/7 and are easy to clean, unlike those ugly ones from the factory. |

| Microwave oven in galley (220V) | No | No | Hell no, it is ugly and small and expensive |
| Solar panels 100w each fitted to hard top - (4) | No | No | We did it as after fitment |

We opted for the Echotec 50 gallons per hour. It does take a lot of power so a generator is required! However, it makes enough water. We did have an issue with one of the membranes, but since it comes with 3 membranes we could make a plan to bypass the faulty one and still make water — now at 35 gallons an hour, so we were not without water. It can run on 1 membrane and would then only make 15 gallons. Great backup. |
| Sea water inlet seacock with hose led above the waterline (for future watermaker installation) | Yes | Yes | Needed for water maker |
| Washer/dryer (220V) installed in Port corridor. Must be taken with: 220V inverter (B4- 4325) and Battery Charger (B4-4160) | Yes | Yes | We only use the washer part, so would see if I could upgrade the washing machine in lieu of the factory option |

| Stern shower: Hot/cold water in lieu of cold only | Yes | Yes | Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it |
| Refrigerator in aft cockpit 12v. Not to be ordered with options B4-7751, B4-7750 or B4- 8200) | Yes | Yes | More fridge space and really convenient |
| Electric Grill: 220V built into wet locker in aft cockpit (Only for boats with shore power option) | Yes | Yes | We have used it and it works, it is not above the dinghy which many other people opt for, we would just make sure we get more tinfoil inserts as cannot find them easy |
| Wine cooler (220V) in galley (Can only be taken with option B4-4325. Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4-7740/57/58/60) | No | No | Power conservation is important |

| Refrigerator installed in galley 12v (Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4- 7740/41/57/60) | No | More info | We would for sure take more fridge and freezer space, just not sure where this was going to be placed and what cupboard space we would loose |
| Freezer installed in galley 12v (Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4-7740/41/57/58) | No | More info | See above comment |
| Exterior Pack 1 – Charcoal (Grey) | Yes | Yes | Would love the factory to have an option for Copper Coat as this is much better than the anti foul they put on |
| Aft cockpit side and back shade curtains | Yes | No | Would do our own design after getting used to the boat, we now have a different shade on our boat |
| Aft Cockpit Cushions (Seats & backrests) - Not to be ordered with B4-8300 | Yes | Yes | We have seen many people not take this and have them made after fitment, but the quality is not the same in our opinion |
| Fwd Cockpit Cushions (Seats & backrests) - Not to be ordered with B4-8305 | Yes | Yes | See comment above |
| Helm Seat Cushion | Yes | Yes | Again not sure why this is not standard! Upstairs is, but this is not? |
| Foredeck Lounging Cushions - Full Foredeck | No | No | We did not opt for this and not even the half option, do not think we would have used it anyway |
| S/S cockpit table stools - (2) | No | No | Tnis one we went up and down on after fitment, but are happy we did not take this. It takes away space |

| Teak aft cockpit table in lieu of standard GRP table | No | No | Got to maintain that wood! And we decided to get a leather cover made for our fibre glass table to avoid items sliding around. we also had a lazy susan made |
| Composite teak decking (Colour - Weathered with White Caulking): aft & fwd cockpits, helm platform, transom steps, side deck steps and coachroof lounge | No | Maybe | We did after fitment, but I might say that i would like to see the factory one, as we are having decoloring on the teak from after fitment |
| Asymetric spinnaker running rigging | Yes | Maybe | I think there is a better design |
| Boom Cover (stackpack) - as per exterior pack choice | Yes | Yes | We had our boat name put on the pack |
| Bowsprit c/w roller furler (incl. running rigging excl. sail/s) | No | No | We opted to have a Oxley that we order as after fitment, our best decision ever. love the Oxley |

| Square Top mainsail with Karver Hook in lieu of std main can only be taken with B4-0002 | No | No | We were taught to always sail with 1 reef in, because you do not want to have to reef when a squal hits you, and going all the way to the top will not give you that much speed. We actually usually sail only with the Genoa out as it is a lot easier to handle |
| Gori Single Pitch folding propeller upgrade for optional Yanmar 80hp engines w/saildrive in lieu of std fixed props (2) | No | No | We did this in after fitment and asked them to give us the original props as spares |

Motorised TV lift at nav station (excludes TV) - (requires B4-4320 and B4-4325 for AC power requirements)
We rarely use that tv, so i suppose it is something you would need to concider.
Provision for TV in saloon - c/w AC outlet - (requires B4-4320 and B4-4325 for AC power requirements)
If anything I would do the lifting TV
Provision for TV in owner's cabin (4-cabin layout only) - swing bracket and AC outlet - (requires B4-4320 and B4-4325 for AC power requirements)
Did not fit, and to be honest it takes a lot of space and we actually have our iPad on a swivel and that works well
Provision for TV in all cabins (4-cabin layout only) - swing bracket and AC outlet - (requires B4-4320 and B4-4325 for AC power requirements)
Again more electric goods that do not like sea, you cannot get a "Marine TV" so it will rust and we suppose to enjoy the ocean, not in our cabin watching tv
Microwave oven in galley (220V)
Hell no, it is ugly and small and expensive
Solar panels 100w each fitted to hard top - (4)
We did it as after fitment
Sterling alternator to battery charger. Includes button at helm to link engine batteries to house batteries (Not to be ordered with option B4-4550)
We did it as after fitment
Underwater Lights - 2 x Blue mounted in stern
Never use them and have to keep the lights clean from barnicles otherwise it does not give much light anyway
Electric fresh water flushing toilets: Sanimarin in lieu of electric salt water flushing toilets for 4 cabin layout
Did this as after fitment
11 Gal Water Heaters in lieu of 6 Gal Water Heaters - (2) 220V
Just gives more hot water
Watermaker: Spectra Newport 400 (12 volt), 63 ltr/17 USgal per hr; incl MPC-3000 controller system plus optional Z-Brane electronic water treatment system
We did it as after fitment as we could put a bigger watermaker in. We opted for the Echotec 50 gallons per hour. It does take a lot of power so a generator is required! However, it makes enough water. We did have an issue with one of the membranes, but since it comes with 3 membranes we could make a plan to bypass the faulty one and still make water — now at 35 gallons an hour, so we were not without water. It can run on 1 membrane and would then only make 15 gallons. Great backup.
Sea water inlet seacock with hose led above the waterline (for future watermaker installation)
Needed for water maker
Washer/dryer (220V) installed in Port corridor. Must be taken with: 220V inverter (B4- 4325) and Battery Charger (B4-4160)
We only use the washer part, so would see if I could upgrade the washing machine in lieu of the factory option
220V Dishwasher in Galley (Can only be taken with Genset or Shore Power Options). Cannot be taken with option B4-7740/41/57/58 or B4-7760
For if there is only two of us on the boat to make life easier, I am willing to wash the dishes
Deck wash fitting & pump - dual fresh/salt water system
I would for sure add as after fitment a deck was in the aft of the boat somewhere as an after fitment
Stern shower: Hot/cold water in lieu of cold only
Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it
Refrigerator in aft cockpit 12v. Not to be ordered with options B4-7751, B4-7750 or B4- 8200)
More fridge space and really convenient
Electric Grill: 220V built into wet locker in aft cockpit (Only for boats with shore power option)
We have used it and it works, it is not above the dinghy which many other people opt for, we would just make sure we get more tinfoil inserts as cannot find them easy
Wine cooler (220V) in galley (Can only be taken with option B4-4325. Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4-7740/57/58/60)
Power conservation is important
Icemaker installed in aft cockpit (220V) - in lieu of cockpit storage locker (Only for boats with shore power option) - Not to be ordered with options B4-7710, B4-7750 or B4-8200
Take the fridge
Icemaker installed in galley 220V (Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4- 7740/41/55/58/60)
We took a portable small unit and works fine
Refrigerator installed in galley 12v (Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4- 7740/41/57/60)
We would for sure take more fridge and freezer space, just not sure where this was going to be placed and what cupboard space we would loose
Freezer installed in galley 12v (Not to be ordered with B4-6700/10 or B4-7740/41/57/58)
See above comment
Exterior Pack 1 – Charcoal (Grey)
Would love the factory to have an option for Copper Coat as this is much better than the anti foul they put on
Aft cockpit side and back shade curtains
Would do our own design after getting used to the boat, we now have a different shade on our boat
Aft Cockpit Cushions (Seats & backrests) - Not to be ordered with B4-8300
We have seen many people not take this and have them made after fitment, but the quality is not the same in our opinion
Fwd Cockpit Cushions (Seats & backrests) - Not to be ordered with B4-8305
See comment above
Helm Seat Cushion
Again not sure why this is not standard! Upstairs is, but this is not?
Foredeck Lounging Cushions - Full Foredeck
We did not opt for this and not even the half option, do not think we would have used it anyway
S/S cockpit table stools - (2)
Tnis one we went up and down on after fitment, but are happy we did not take this. It takes away space
S/S dive bottle rack - holds 4 bottles
This i do think is if you are divers, you would take it, we do not dive so we only snorkle so it is not for us
Leather covered steering wheel
It gives the boat a upmarket feel
Black powder coated steering wheel
See above
Custom S/S davit system with tackle c/w electric winch
This is a must for your dinghy
Winch type lifting platform with folding chocks
Seen many people comment about the problems, the idea sounds nice if you on a dam, but on the ocean you dealing with waves, currents etc and they fail
Teak aft cockpit table in lieu of standard GRP table
Got to maintain that wood! And we decided to get a leather cover made for our fibre glass table to avoid items sliding around. we also had a lazy susan made
Composite teak decking (Colour - Weathered with White Caulking): aft & fwd cockpits, helm platform, transom steps, side deck steps and coachroof lounge
We did after fitment, but I might say that i would like to see the factory one, as we are having decoloring on the teak from after fitment
Asymetric spinnaker running rigging
I think there is a better design
Boom Cover (stackpack) - as per exterior pack choice
We had our boat name put on the pack
Bowsprit c/w roller furler (incl. running rigging excl. sail/s)
We opted to have a Oxley that we order as after fitment, our best decision ever. love the Oxley
Code 0 (All round light weather sail - Sheeted inside or outside) - sail only
See Oxley comment, and you got to store this sail
Code D (Downwind light weather sail - Sheeted outside) - sail only
See Oxley comment, and you got to store this sail
Square Top mainsail with Karver Hook in lieu of std main can only be taken with B4-0002
We were taught to always sail with 1 reef in, because you do not want to have to reef when a squal hits you, and going all the way to the top will not give you that much speed. We actually usually sail only with the Genoa out as it is a lot easier to handle
Gori Single Pitch folding propeller upgrade for optional Yanmar 80hp engines w/saildrive in lieu of std fixed props (2)
We did this in after fitment and asked them to give us the original props as spares
Upgraded Super-T lines including main haylard, genoa halyard, topping lift, reef lines and code 0 halyard & furler control
The lines you get work the best with UV, Daneema is better in strenght etc, but what they do not tell you is that it does not like the sun
Upgraded Ultra X Dyneema Norlam high performance North Sails (square top main and genoa incl. Karver hook) in lieu of standard main sail and genoa – as per exterior pack. Recommend taking option B4-9530 with this option.
See above
55lb (25kg) Delta anchor c/w 165ft (50m) chain
But at after fitment we took a bigger anchor and used this one as our spare anchor
230ft (70m) anchor chain in lieu of 165ft (50m) chain
We have used it all, going for 100m i am not sure yet if I would do that
Anchor bridle, shackles and hook
And this is not standard? But yeah you want a bridal
Black fenders (6), black mooring lines (4, 16mm x 10m), black spring lines (2, 16mm x
and we took 2 more fenders but bigger ones as an after fitment option
Transport, documentation and commissioning package: includes anti-fouling paint,
Have to option
CE Safety Package including 8 man life raft, U-bolts and tie downs
And we in after fitment moved it to above the aft saloon behind the helm there is space there
Cape Town delivery including full detailing, full fuel tanks, and 3 days of dockage in V&A
We loved going to Cape Town, got an airbnb right on the marina and watched all the after fitment done every day
High Field CL380 with FCT steering Dinghy with 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke
Dinghy is required

| SunPower x 4 400w on SS Frame make sure a board can fit so check spacing, 2 Victron Smart MPPT controllers | Yes | Yes | I would take the biggest watt you can, 400 was the biggest at the time we installed, we only took 4 as we did not like the hang over the sugar scoops, but that is personal preference i suppse |
| 4 x heads able to switch over to fresh water flushing | Yes | Yes | Saves on fresh water when sailing |
| Echo Tex 1399 AML 220V installed in bilge on Port Forward cabin including overflow to basin | Yes | Yes | I asked for the overflow in the basin of the port forward cabin as it is just easier. I would do some changes on this to make it easier to work with. I might even put a back up 12V system as this has to run with the generator as it takes a lot of power and if the generator fails you cannot make water |
| Strata glass enslosure helm and aft saloon. | Yes | Yes | This is a must for when it is cold and if it rains that you still can use the aft saloon |
| Oxley and upgrade top mast | Yes | Yes | As mentioned before, the Oxley has been one of our most favorite and easy sails to operate in down wind conditions, which is the crossing of the Atlantic from Cape Town |

| Liferaft cradle mounted on stb lounge side roof | Yes | Yes | Otherwise it is under the seat in the aft saloon, and in an emergency you will not have time to get it out as it is heavy, besides that it takes storage space. |

| Change the black tank valves | Yes | Yes | We changed the ones that came from the factory that we could not even open or close, I actually broke one totally off, we reaplced it with a brass tap style valve and it works like a dream, my grandchildren can even turn it to open the valve. Sure it takes a few turns, but never had we had a problem with it |
| Flag Pole on aft | Yes | Yes | To at least have your boat flag on a flag pole |
| Curtesy flag lines on the spreader | Yes | Yes | To ensure you can fly your curtesy flag when entering a country, remember it has to be higher than your boat flag, also have to fly a quarantine flag |

| Radar deflector | Yes | Yes | Not expensive and makes you more visable |
| Electrical and Plumbing Spares | Yes | Yes | I asked them for a box of spares for electrical items on the boat, like fuses etc and then also spares for the piping on the boat. Both have come in handy |

|---|---|---|---|
| Wash down pump in Aft Saloon | No | Yes | When you catching fish to be able to wash down with sea water or fresh water would be a great advantage |
| 115V to 230V Victron converter | No | Yes | Opens up the ability to go into Marinas who only have 115V , We have now fitted one. Has a switch in the port engine room, with two trip switches, always set to off, so when you come in, you have to decide what voltage you have to use, change the switch over to that voltage and put up the breaker for that line. Once you disconnect the power the rule is to check all breakers are switched to off and the selector is also on the off position |
| Fusion Marine Audio - proper install | No | Yes | We installed it afterwards by ourselves but only two zones being aft and fwd saloons, and we love it, but I would for sure have 3 zones maybe 4 for upstairs. Aft Saloon, Main Saloon, Fwd Saloon (and maybe upstairs lounge) |
| Switch over system for water | No | Yes | Switch over system on all showers and taps. At home you usually have a hand shower that is on a seperate circuit so we would have set up that it runs back into the tanks on the main line and you have to push the "hand shower" button to get the water through the boat shower heads, this way while you wait for hot water it is going back into the tank., when you counted to 15 you push the button and you have instant hot water on your shower. The same system upstairs by the sink, open a tap, wait 15 seconds push button and it switches over to the faucet/tap and there is instant hot water until then, it is running back into the tanks. |
| Hand Rail on Master Cabin | No | Yes | It is hard to get to or from the Master Cabin when in rough seas as their is no railing to hold onto |
| Vanity in Master Cabin | No | Yes | We tried to get them to do this at After Fitment in South Africa but the installer was bad, but we wanted to change this to drawers |
| Blind in all rooms | No | Yes | Burn what Leopard gave us, and instal blockout at least in the Master Cabin. I think the new Leopard 46 has this changed it allows you access to the shelves that are there so the blinds need to be against the windows, because once the blinds are closed you cannot access the shelf at this moment |
| Shoe cabinet under Cupboard in Master Cabin | No | Yes | I think the new Leopard 46 has this, and it is a great idea to put a shoe drawer under the cupboard, it is wasted space and can be utlized |
| Extra Lithium Batteries | No | Yes | We had installed batteries, but i would have maybe added more to just give us more power, we might even have gone for a 24V system as it was too new at that stage. |
| Fridge Lock in Place system | No | Yez | When in rough seas it is hard to open the fridge freezer and it would be great if it had a lock system as you let go of the handle it locked in place |
| Cupboard at Front Hatch Door | No | Yes | Should be a two door cupboard, not a 1 door for easy access |
| Bilges in the Galley | No | Yes | Would have made them flat at the bottom, to make it easier to pack |
| Hooks at the Helm for lines | No | Yes | Addings hooks so you can hang the lines there instead of trying to fit only half into the bag that comes with the boat, with this allow you to hang the sheets. We are always throwing the extra sheets on the saloon floor |
| Tin foil inserts for electric grill | No | Yes | Should have asked them for extra of the tin foil inserts for the electric grill, as these we have found are impossible to get unless you live in the states |
