Crew

“The safety and  enjoyment of our guests is paramount.”
-  Chris Sherlock, Captain Leopard

Captain

Leopard’s Class IV boat Captain has 20 years industry experience and is highly regarded both on the racing and corporate circuits.  Chris Sherlock, originally from Perth, Australia, has worked on London property developer Mike Slade’s boats for over 20 years.  His role began on the 81ft Ocean Leopard, followed by the Farr 80 Longobarda and finally successfully skippering Leopard’s predecessor, Leopard of London.

Due to Leopard’s multi-faceted role, the crew requirements change throughout the calendar to ensure that both the yacht’s potential is maximised and most importantly that the comfort and safety of our guests is maintained
