In day boat mode, whether out on the water with friends or cruising with family, Leader 10.5 WA Series 2 has but one goal: to enable you to take full advantage of the sun and the sea.
The Leader 10.5 WA is now available with full windscreen. This tall wraparound windscreen clearly defines the helm station area, sheltered from the elements. Well protected, the pilot and copilots can still enjoy the sea breeze via a ventilation system atop the central panel. This new version not only enhances comfort but also instills confidence when navigating challenging conditions, allowing you to fully appreciate the boat’s performance and cruising capabilities with peace of mind. The full windscreen version exudes a more assertive and sportier look and feel.
Life on Board Made Even Easier
The Leader 10.5 WA invites you to extend your stopovers on the water in the greatest comfort. Perfectly integrated into the profile of the boat, the optional T-top enables you, with the addition of a sun awning aft, to dine in the shade. The outdoor galley, backing the seats of the helm station, includes a fridge, electric grill, a gas burner, storage, or even a live well to hold the catch of the day. Down below, optionally equipped with air conditions, the spacious and com-fortable interior also features a second separate cabin aft. Forward, the traditional breakfast nook converts into a V-berth with separation curtain. This day boat has everything to give you a taste of cruising and nights at sea.
Sporty Cruising and Abundant Time Out on the Water
With the Leader 10.5 WA, wait no longer to explore small creeks or to make longer crossings. With a cruising speed of 20 knots, and peak speeds at over 40, the V-shaped hull designed by Michael Peters brings more strength and rigidity to this sport boat. Once at anchor, there is something for everyone: a forward cockpit with three integrated chaise lounges perfect for re-laxing, an opening terrace on port to create an additional swim platform equipped with a swim ladder, a convertible aft cockpit with removable table, all for you to choose in function with your plans.
