2014: Lagoon is only 30!
Time passes so quickly, yet life goes on, with its twists, turns and future plans.
Lagoon has changed greatly over the past 30 years too, with innovation firmly in its sights.
Our aim has been to surprise, of course, but always with a view to offering improved services, greater comfort and
better performance. This is why innovation is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's drawing up specifications
for our boats or strengthening ties with our clients and distributors.
In just thirty years, Lagoon has become a pioneer in building catamarans using an infusion-moulding technique,
designed a saloon with vertical glazing for the Lagoon 410, established itself as THE manufacturer of catamarans
with flybridges, launched the Lagoon 380 (which was and still is the most successful catamaran on the market),
innovated with the Lagoon 420 Hybrid, become a world leader in manufacturing cruising catamarans, developed
a series of 8 models ranging from 38 to 62’ to meet its clients' every need and revolutionised the deck layout of
cruising catamarans with the latest Lagoon 39 and 52 models.
But of course, we're forgetting a crucial ingredient... In just 30 years, Lagoon Attitude has become a key part of
our brand, incorporating Lagoon(s) magazine (provided exclusively for owners of our boats), Lagoon Escapades
(meetings of Lagoon owners held all over the world) and the Lagoon-inside.com blog, a recent innovation from
Club Lagoon, which now has over 300 members!
So, as these 30 years draw to a close, we want only one thing, have only one dream – to enjoy another 30 happy
years with our clients!
LAGOON
2014: Lagoon is only 30!
Lagoon has been making cruising catamarans since 1984.
Over the years, Lagoon has developed real expertise in building catamarans. Making the most of space for
exceptional comfort, design, high quality construction and responsiveness to our clients' needs are the main
principles underpinning our approach that have helped to establish the brand's reputation.
A world leader in its field since 2003 (with nearly 3,000 boats built to date), the hulls of all boats in Lagoon's range
are designed by Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), naval architects whose achievements in
designing multihull boats are unprecedented.
Lagoon offers the widest range of sailing catamaran cruisers on the market, with each of its models available in
several versions. This range is sold by a network of nearly 80 passionate, specialist distributors worldwide. The
network is expanding year on year and Lagoon now has a strong presence in emerging markets such as Brazil,
China and India.
In September 2012, Lagoon exhibited the 'central galley' version of the Lagoon 620 and the new Lagoon 400 S2 for
the first time at the Grand Pavois boat show in La Rochelle.
In October, it was the turn of the new Lagoon 52, which was launched in Bordeaux and caused a real stir in the world
of cruising catamarans. Similarly, the Lagoon 39, with naval architecture by VPLP and interiors by Nauta Design, was
unveiled at the Paris and Düsseldorf boat shows.
At a presentation in Cannes last September, Lagoon was announcing some major new projects : the Lagoon 560S2,
the 620 Motor Yacht, as well as a teaser for the future Lagoon 7MA!

560 S2
A new version of the Lagoon 560 for even greater luxury
The new S2 version of this large Lagoon offers many features to meet the latest demands of the luxury catamaran
market: wide variety of cabin layouts, central or lateral galley depending on the living space required in the
saloon and the cabins.
The Lagoon 560 S2 is designed for entertaining. This is reflected in the roomy interiors, with a new saloon layout
in the central galley version, as well as a brand new four-cabin version with a lateral galley (located in the portside
hull) and a truly spacious saloon.
Once again, these additional versions were created by Nauta Design.

Lagoon Motor Yachts
620 Motor Yacht
a new approach to Motor Yacht cruising
Many sailors would like to broaden their horizons with a Motor Yacht that offers a large cruising range and good
performance while preserving comfort and peace of mind.
Lagoon, VPLP naval architects (Van Peteghem-Lauriot Prévost) and Nauta Design set about resolving this issue
and concluded that far and away the best solution would be to adapt the efficient hull of a catamaran such as
the Lagoon 620, an international bestseller in its size category whose sailing qualities have been clearly proven.
This decision resulted in the 620 Motor Yacht concept: a luxurious motor yacht designed as well for long and secure
offshore crossings, as for day coastal cruising. The prototype is planned to hit the water in early summer 2014.

The roller main reefing system by LAGOON
Efficiency, reliability, user-friendly
in the constant desire to make manoeuvres on board much easier, Lagoon has developed a new roller main
reefing system in partnership with Lorima, the mast makers, and Incidences, the sail makers: efficient mechanical
performance, tested at length at sea and therefore reliable as well as being user-friendly. Lagoon has secured a
world wide exclusivity of this system for multihulls.
Efficiency
aa real catamaran mainsail: fully battened and with a square top for improved performance
aoptimised reefing: the sail can be reefed at each sail reinforcement level, as with a conventional main sail
Reliability
aa system developed by three internationally-renowned experts: mast maker, sail maker and catamaran builder
aa system tested at length at sea before being fully approved
aextends life of the sail (even furling , no creasing and fitted with a UV protection strip)
User-friendly

380
The Lagoon 380 was launched in 1999 and, with 700 boats built to date, is without a doubt the
bestselling catamaran of its size in the world. Comfortable, seaworthy and fast, it is available in
2 different layouts (3 or 4 cabins) and has sailed every sea in the world.

The Lagoon 39 is clearly part of the new generation of Lagoon models launched in 2012. With its bevelled
vertical bows, 'suspended' deckhouse above the deck and aft-centred mast for performance under sail and
incredible ease of use, it makes a striking first impression.

Like its predecessor (the Lagoon 400, which was launched in 2009 and has sold over 260 models in less
than 3 years), the Lagoon 400 S2 is designed for coastal or ocean cruising.
Nauta Design has completely overhauled the interior design so that it can comfortably accommodate 8
people in 3 or 4 double cabins with 2, 3 or 4 separate bathrooms respectively. The large saloon has been
stylishly refurbished and is now located on the same level as the cockpit.

mention a superb sunbathing area on the flybridge.

The Lagoon 52 marks a new phase in the design of cruising catamarans.
It has diamond-shaped vertical bows, bevelled hulls, a 'suspended' deckhouse and streamlined rigging, but its
originality does not stop at its outward appearance or even its internal layout. The sometimes radical choices
that we made in designing this boat reflect our desire to remain faithful to what we believe in, whether in
terms of style, comfort, safety, user-friendliness or – it goes without saying – performance under sail.

The Lagoon 560 gave Lagoon a strong lead in terms of comfort, ergonomics and style, combining the

offers an additional choice of layouts which are unequalled for this size of catamaran: up to 5 fully
independent cabins and the choice between a galley in the port hull or as a centre island. In her “lateral
galley” configuration, the Lagoon 560S2 offers a layout which is ideal for accommodating a skipper, with a
two single bed cabin adjoining the galley, a private bathroom and a direct access to the cockpit.

Lagoon Custom: bespoke catamarans from CNB
CNB has been building Lagoon catamarans of over 50 feet since 1999. It therefore seemed logical for Lagoon, a
world leader in building cruising catamarans, and CNB to join forces and develop a new generation of catamarans
for their respective clients – bigger, better, more 'CNB' superyachts...
With expertise in both aluminium and high-tech composite, CNB is one of only a handful of manufacturers that
allows its clients to choose the material best suited to their sailing plan.
The biggest names in naval architecture have joined forces with Lagoon and CNB to design these sail or motordriven super-catamarans, including Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost, Philippe Brand, Bill Dixon and
Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design.
Several projects drawn up for Lagoon Custom have attracted potential clients, with discussions on specifications
and costs already well under way.
