Launched just prior to Xmas was this new Leech 1025 powercat.
The Dan Leech designed1 025 uses the well proven Leech semi displacement power catamaran hull form. The powercat was built for an Auckland owner by Allspec Marine in Nelson, from composites.
Features include full standing head room throughout, a queen size berth forward, head and shower forward, quarter berths in the port and starboard hulls, large galley in the saloon and large U-shaped settee with a table that can form a double berth. The forward end of the settee doubles as a twin helm seat with a rotating back rest.
The cockpit has a side door for easy access from the marina berth, a good size aft boarding platform, fishing rod locker, good under floor storage and built-in seating.
The aft cabin bulkhead has an opening window behind the galley and a sliding door that opens the saloon to the cockpit to give great indoor / outdoor flow. The hardtop roof extends aft over the cockpit for sun and rain protection.
Powered by twin 115hp 4 stroke Honda outboards the cat returns a low fuel consumption at cruising rpm. Look for a full review in the May-Jun issue of Pacific PowerBoat magazine.
