Overview

Radiant Hope is a 2021 Leopard 45 Lounge in the three-cabin Owner’s Version, built by Robertson & Caine and kept by the original owners. She is a Chesapeake boat: used about six months a year, hauled and maintained every winter.

Factory-equipped with a Northern Lights 9 kW genset, Raymarine helm with AXIOM 12, bowsprit and Code 0, and custom stainless davits — then outfitted after U.S. delivery with upgrades from several specialists (Just Catamarans, PlasDeck, Creative Canvas, Nautical Ventures, Oxley, and Sunrise Yacht Products): solar and power systems, PlasDeck decking, canvas enclosure, Highfield tender, Oxley downwind sail, and forward sun shade, documented in the sale packet.

Private showings by appointment at Annapolis Safe Harbor throughout the Annapolis Boat Shows, October 8–18, 2026, from the opening of the Powerboat Show (Oct 8–11) through the close of the Sailboat Show (Oct 15–18). The boat is at a marina slip, not City Dock. Survey and sea trial by arrangement.

Engine and genset hours are as of fall 2026 owner reading.
