Catamaran builder Robertson and Caine completed its 3,000th boat at the end of March 2025, marking a considerable landmark for the South African builder.

The yard held a celebration at its facility in Cape Town for the landmark launch, a Leopard 40 Powercat, with the vessel set for the global stage at the La Grande Motte International Boat Show, in the South of France beginning on April 23, 2025.
