Jeanneau Leader 40 for sale in Southampton United Kingdom

A fantastic example of the Jeanneau Leader 40 which has had just two owners from new and is presented for sale in outstanding condition.

Featuring a host of additional options and having just undergone a full annual maintenance program - including replacement of the cockpit covers - she is in turn key condition and good to go for the rest of the season and well beyond.

Two owners from new and extremely well cared for. In the current ownership, she has wanted for nothing and this is reflected in the appearance and condition. Viewing in person is recommended and you won't be disappointed.

NB: This boat is lying offsite and so viewings will be by appointment only. Please call now for more details or to arrange your viewing.

Brokers Comments

'Rumour Has It' is a lovely example of the Jeanneau Leader 40 and it is clear from the moment you approach her on her berth that she is well tended by her owner. This feeling only grows as you step aboard and work your way through the boat.

She has lots of space both on deck and below, with two separate cabins set apart at either end of the boat, allowing privacy and comfort on board. Both beds have brand new and unused King Size Memory foam mattress toppers which are of high quality and ensure anyone sleeping in either cabin will have a great night's sleep. The interior is completed with a large heads, a separate shower and a well equipped and laid out galley.

Twin Volvo D6-370 engines offer a great balance of performance and economy and the addition of Volvos joystick system make docking a breeze. With just 147 hours from new and a good service history there will be no surprises hiding in the engine bay. As mentioned earlier in the details, she has just had a full drive and engine service carried out including bellows - June 2024. Antifouling and hull polishing were also completed at this time.

In short, this is a fantastic boat offering a lot to any potential purchaser. Whether used as a capable cruising boat for the South Coast and well beyond or as a comfortable bolt hole on the weekend, the equipment she carries will ensure that you will always enjoy your time aboard.
