Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 vs Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 vs Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 at 57,7 ft versus Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 at 57,7 ft. At 80 469 lbs and 80 469 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 75 hp for the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and 75 hp for the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 238 gal and 238 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 17 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Both boats sit in a similar displacement bracket — 80 469 lbs for the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and 80 469 lbs for the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011. Comparable displacement means broadly similar seakeeping behaviour and load capacity, though hull form and ballast ratio will still produce noticeably different sailing characteristics.

Both boats draw a similar depth — 6,0 ft and 6,0 ft respectively. Marina access and anchorage options should be broadly equivalent between the two.

The Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 uses Sloop rigging.

Bottom line: The Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 are closely matched on paper. A sea trial on both in representative conditions is the only reliable way to find which one suits your sailing style, home port, and intended cruising ground.

The Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 is the longer of the two at 57,7 feet overall. The Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 comes in at 57,7 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 or the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011?
For trailering, the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 has the edge at 80 469 lbs dry weight versus 80 469 lbs for the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?

Which boat has the deeper draft — the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 or the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011?
The Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 has the deeper draft at 6,0 ft, versus 6,0 ft for the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011. A deeper draft generally means better upwind performance and stability, but limits access to shallow anchorages and some marina berths. Always check the controlling depth of your home port and favourite cruising grounds before committing.
Is the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 or the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 better suited for offshore sailing?
For offshore work, displacement and construction are the primary indicators. The Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 at 80 469 lbs displacement is the heavier, more load-carrying design — generally better suited to extended passages where seakeeping and provisioning capacity matter most. The Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 at 80 469 lbs will typically be livelier and more responsive in lighter conditions.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 share an 27.80 ft beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011?

Yes — both the Robertson and Caine Leopard 58 2011 and the Robertson and Caine Moorings 5800 2011 are built by Robertson and Caine. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
