SAFFIER SE 28 LEOPARD DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
New Hull Design. More Space. Total Freedom to Customise.
The Saffier SE 28 Leopard features a completely new hull design with a reversed bow and wider 2.70-metre beam, delivering even faster sailing upwind and downwind. Built using vacuum-infused fibreglass with a hard core foam sandwich, her modern lines and flat underwater sections provide outstanding form stability — making her equally at home on the sheltered waters of Sydney Harbour or the open swells of the Tasman Sea.
Below deck, the SE 28 Leopard takes daysailing to the next level. Four proper berths, a galley with fridge, sink and coffee machine, plus a practical toilet make her a genuine weekender. Her completely new interior layout is designed with smart use of space, making life aboard easy and enjoyable. After a day of sailing, unwind in comfort and wake up ready for another adventure.
Owners have full freedom to configure the SE 28 Leopard to their preferences — electric or diesel propulsion, a sporty tiller or dual steering wheels, and foredeck options including a hatch, solar panel or Esthec deck. Every option is seamlessly integrated into the design, so no matter how you configure her, she remains balanced, stylish and unmistakably Saffier Yachts.
