You will be sailing the Lagoon 410, a product of the design genius of Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prévost whose VPLP design firm has produced a string of race-winning ORMA trimarans, including Lakota and Bayer (ex-Primagaz). PerformanceMuch of the Lagoon's good windward ability is due to the fixed keels. While
you still have the shoal draft that is one of the cat's major advantages, a good
keel will significantly reduce leeway. A look astern on a beam reach with winds
gusting to 25 knots true will show a clean wake, with nearly a rooster tail from
each hull as the boat gets into the low double digits of speed. This with almost
unnoticeable heel, even while punching through waves that have the bows dipping
into green water regularly. This is the stuff of sailing dreams, with bright
sun, strong wind and warm water, combined with a willing boat that inspires
confidence. Tacking can be done single-handed, and with two people, you are in
racing mode! With the two Yanmar 27-horsepower engines, one per hull, nestled
under the aft berths, maneuvering under power is a joy. Comfort and FeaturesTogether with performance, the other watchword of the Lagoon 410 is comfort -
roomy, ergonomically correct comfort. For example, the salon is larger than on
the former Lagoon 47. Thanks to the cabinetry behind the freestanding aft settee
seat, this is one of the few cats of its size that actually offers cupboard
space for large nested bowls, and big dinner plates. Meanwhile, the galley is
truly full size. As are the "bigger-than-queen-size" double berths in
each aft cabin. And there are two capacious deck lockers at the base of the
mast. Plenty of room there not only for the standard electric anchor windlass,
but also a Fischer-Panda genset. Vertical salon windows - a unique design feature ensure a much cooler central
cabin. Unlike the angled windows found on many cats, vertical ones don't capture
and magnify the hot rays of the sun. Plus, vertical windows increase the usable
space within the salon. The situation is akin to some minivan automobile designs
in which their large, sloping windows generate excessive heat in the sun, while
only creating "acres" of marginally usable dashboard surface. By
comparison, a salon with vertical windows allows for standing headroom right up
to the windows. And what headroom! In the Lagoon 410 it's 6' 5" in the
salon. The galley is luxuriously large and would put to shame virtually any
galley on a 40-foot monohull for sheer space and working area. The four en suite cabins offer privacy for everyone, while the rich, wooden
interior gives you a very luxurious feel. The wood used in the interior is
Mukali, a light brown wood from Brazil also used in musical instruments such as
guitars and drums. The feel is silky smooth, and it is easy to clean, with no
tendency to develop water spots. Both inside and out you will find masses of
seating, so you can all enjoy al fresco dining in the cockpit or relax around
the table in the saloon. As with all the Lagoon fleet, the off wind performance
is remarkable, while its inherently stable platform means your crew can choose
to sail, read or sunbathe in comfort. On the port hull there is a hot water
shower hose situated next to the boarding steps. The pleasure quotient of a
quick freshwater rinse, perhaps with a bit of warm water mixed in after a
sunrise swim, would be hard to exaggerate. The Lagoon 410 offers another major benefit-a comfortably equipped helm at
the port forward portion of the cockpit. This is a distinct improvement over
those catamaran brands whose helm stations are located at the aft corners of
their respective cockpits. You enjoy complete protection from sun, wind, and
rain. The forward helm position makes it possible for you to enjoy the
all-weather protection of a full-sized bimini and dodger. Alternatively, the
major drawback of cats designed with helms at the aft corners of their cockpits
is that the sliding mainsheet traveler between the two steering stations makes
it impossible to install a bimini to shelter either helm position. So, the
helmsperson has no alternative to "baking" in the sun or
"drowning" in the rain. ConstructionBoth hull and deck are of vacuum-bagged laminate construction using a foam core for the hull and balsawood core for the deck Three-directional-weave glasscloth, carbon reinforcement, hydroply impregnated with "polyvinylester" synolite resin. All bulkheads and other bonding are effected using two-directional glasscloths. Composite-construction rudder-blade on laminated rudder tube with self-aligning "jeanneau" bearing blocks. Osmosis-guard protective coating (Gel Shied). Specifications
