An enjoyable catamaran

For this new model, Lagoon has redesigned access to the catamaran by creating an additional aft entryway for each hull.  This innovative solution facilitates movement between the boat and the dock, combining comfort and safety to promote well-being on board.

With its unique signature design, the new access is perfectly integrated into the lines of the catamaran.

A generous catamaran

The new hull form of the Lagoon 43 features generous interior volumes – as well as larger berths, with greater dimensions in every cabin – offering unprecedented living space for her category.

In the owner's cabin, a large forward berth with an en suite head and shower aft provides increased living space, undisturbed by engine noise.  This layout is similar to those found aboard much larger yachts.

An adaptable catamaran

Lagoon has reimagined life on board, presenting a versatile boat with modular boundaries.  This advance makes it possible to transform the space, connecting the interior and the exterior, the saloon and the cockpit, according to preference.

Create numerous arrangements quickly and easily, with a dining table able to accommodate up to 12 people.  An inviting new living area is formed for gathering and sharing a moment together with family or with friends.

Unveiled the new Lagoon 43 catamaran with side access

The French shipyard Lagoon has unveiled the renderings of the new Lagoon 43 (13.92 x 7.69 m), which will replace the 42′ and will be seen in the water in September, at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. The Lagoon 43 has been designed to adapt to the various demands of boat owners. It is from this concept that the VPLP studio (naval architecture), the designer Patrick Le Quément (external design), and Nauta Design (interiors) have worked.

The first striking feature is the addition of a side access on both sides in the aft area, in addition to the classic stern entrances, obtained from an “opening” in the hull which, according to Le Quément, is “ designed to integrate with the lines framing the hull windows harmoniously. ” This increases safety during boarding and disembarking when the catamaran is docked stern-to. Moreover, ease of movement on board is one of Lagoon’s strong points: even on the 43, the aft area is separated from the cockpit by just one step.

The spaces on board the new Lagoon 43 are multifunctional and transform according to needs. An interesting solution allows connecting the indoor table with the one in the cockpit, turning it into a long table where up to 12 people can dine.

Great work has been done in maximizing interior spaces and volumes: the hull shapes translate into interiors with generous dimensions and spacious cabins. In the three-cabin owner’s version, the owner’s cabin, in the starboard hull, has the bed forward and a dedicated shower room aft.

“ On the main deck, the sliding doors and the dining/café area are designed in such a way as to allow you to arrange the dining table in various configurations: 6 seats on the interior, or 6 on the exterior, in the cockpit “, explains Massimo Gino of Nauta Design. “ This solution combines the sofa in the cockpit with those of the interior dining area, so that in all conditions, in the summer, you can enjoy the exterior and interior spaces combined, as one large space, and thus not have to compromise at all, on the interior and on the exterior “.

Lagoon 43 - To be discovered at Cannes!

Article published on 05/04/2024

By Emmanuel van Deth

published in n°195 may / june

A long time in the pipeline, the idea of a replacement for the Lagoon 40 and 42 has been somewhat hampered by the success of these two models - particularly the 42, which has now been built in over 1,000 examples.

We will keep you posted on new articles on this subject.

Market regulation following the post-Covid euphoria has taken its toll, and the world leader is now launching its first new entry-level model: the Lagoon 43 will be unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival this coming September - alongside the Lagoon 60, which we got the chance to see in Bordeaux early March . The rig on this new catamaran is stepped further forward than on the 42, and it features an overlapping jib.

 The design shows a slender, whistle-shaped coachroof base that refines the superstructure. At the stern, the cutaway bulwarks offer direct access to the dock when moored alongside. On dek, the 43 gains a forward cockpit and a vast aft platform compared to the 42. The helm station remains raised on the port side but is now accompanied by a U-shaped bench seat rather than a simple sunlounger. Inside, the builder has designed an ingenious modular table that can straddle the nacelle and cockpit while providing seating for 12. The volume of the hulls forward has been optimized to increase berth size - in the Owner’s version, the bed is installed forward. The 4-cabin version offers equivalent volumes. A considerable effort has been made on the price, which stands at €518,700 excluding tax - the current price for the Lagoon 42. It should be noted that this latest model continues its career in anniversary edition mode, with 4 cabins and a unique, comprehensive equipment list, at a price of €499,000 ex-tax Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Design: Patrick le Quément and Nauta Design Length: 45’8” (13.92 m) Beam: 25’3” (7.69 m) Draught: 4’7” (1.4 m) Air draft: 65’5” (19.94 m) Light displacement (CE): 29,363 lbs (13.319 t) Square-topped mainsail: 732 sq ft (68 m²) Genoa: 398 sq ft (37 m²) Engines: 2 x 57 HP Fuel: 150 US gal (570 l) Water: 79 US gal (300 l) Berths: 6 to 8 CE Categories: A12 ; B14 ; C20 ; D30

Lagoon Power 43

• By George Sass, Jr.
• Updated: October 4, 2007

I am fortunate to have cruised some interesting parts of the world, perhaps seizing the opportunities while avoiding nagging responsibilities shoreside. Still, every time I cast a rod into the surf as the rising sun splinters the horizon, I have no recollection of what earth-shattering duties might have kept me from the moment. Thanks to technology, my job is a little more secure these days and my wanderlust is slightly more at bay, but a recent weekend cruising the Chesapeake Bay aboard the new Lagoon Power 43 has again left my mind full of visions that are blissfully counterproductive.

Lagoon made its mark with spirited, roomy sailing catamarans from 38 feet to 67 feet. The 43 is the builder’s first foray into the power market, and it stands apart from the offerings of some other sailboat manufacturers that simply remove the stick and add bigger engines.

The 43’s hulls are a semi-displacement design with a deep forefoot to reduce pounding. A chine above the waterline displaces spray. After extensive trials on hull number one, Lagoon retooled the mold to increase chine on the hull’s inside and displace water hitting the platform between the hulls.

Our weekend cruise was effortless, with twin 190 hp Yanmar diesels pushing us to cruise at 15 knots and topping out at 20. We recorded only 68 decibels at the helm at cruising speed with the saloon doors closed. Lagoon placed both engines’ exhaust on the inside of the hull, which reduces noise and eliminates station wagon effect into the cockpit. Even with the master stateroom’s cockpit door open, no smoke or soot found its way inside from the clean-burning Yanmar turbo diesels. Lagoon also offers 250 hp Yanmar diesels.

The 43’s motion, or perhaps what is more accurately described as a lack of motion, takes some getting used to. My time spent in unpleasant weather aboard semi-displacement hulls has me used to shuffling in baby steps with legs spread apart and one arm stretched before me. The more stable platform offered by a catamaran offers less-abrupt motion in a seaway. I suspect the Lagoon will also have good characteristics in a following sea, since there is less surface at the transom to resist water.

Another catamaran attribute that takes some getting used to is the slapping of a large head sea under the platform. Lagoon designed a V-shape wedge to help displace water and reduce pounding. A long keel protects the props, and the 43 can actually sit on her bottom if needed. “You can set the bottom flat, theoretically beaching it,” said Bruce Wagner, Lagoon America’s director, who spent a fair amount of time on hull number one.

“I’ve provided a lot of feedback back to the factory, and we’ll make some changes,” Wagner said. “The cockpit cover, for instance, will be fiberglass. We’re going to a different floor in the cabin. The cockpit seats will have more bolster.”

The flying bridge model, which is what Wagner expects to sell the most of, will make her rounds at the fall boat shows. Well-known yachtsman and designer Ted Hood purchased the show boat, a model I prefer and am eager to see in final form.

There is plenty of on-deck stowage for toys. A compartment forward of the house is nearly 5 feet deep and can easily absorb dive tanks, a dinghy, an outboard, fenders and lines. Two additional forepeak lockers and two lockers on the afterdeck should help keep the 43 self-sufficient for weeks. Another compartment in the cockpit sole contains a liferaft locker.

I was most taken with the 43’s cockpit area. As a kid in St. Barts (long before it was discovered by the jet set), I remember having little living space in the house besides a large pine table on a porch with comfortable chairs. This is where we ate every meal, and the area was the social center for the entire home. The Lagoon 43’s cockpit is a similar space. A table sits eight for meals, and a settee wraps around the cockpit to seat 12. We started one day in the cockpit with fresh-brewed coffee, fruit and cheese. Breakfast gradually turned to lunch, which faded into cocktails and hors d’oeuvres that blended into dinner. I was so comfortable, it took me 24 hours to leave the yacht and explore the charming village of St. Michaels, Maryland.

The cockpit flows nicely into the saloon through a large sliding door. It’s difficult to determine where one space ends and the other begins. Cool breezes fill the interior, and sunlight opens the space. The saloon remains cool thanks to the cabin top’s overhang over the windows. Working with a laptop at the L-shape settee, I didn’t feel like I was missing the outside action. Vertical windows provided a superior line of sight, with the only blind spot behind the galley.

Hull number one has a lower helm option, which should be standard. Not only are lower helms useful when the weather turns foul, they are a great air-conditioned place to drive when it is blazing hot outside. Lagoon should consider installing more than one wiper to give the helmsman a better view of the horizon.

The galley, however, needs no further refinement. It includes a front-loading 12-volt refrigerator and a top-load unit, which also provides good counter space. Again, stowage is everywhere, including a three-quarters height pantry, a bottle locker, a pot and pan drawer, and a dish locker. A four-burner range is under an opening hatch for added ventilation.

One of the 43’s most impressive features is her after cabin, which spans both hulls. The berth is in the middle, where standing headroom is not required. Ports surround the area, and an opening hatch is over the foot of the berth. There are his-and-her hanging lockers as well as a third locker, which will be great for linens. The head is split, with a sink and MSD to port, as well as a shower, if needed. To starboard is a commodious shower stall with sink. The head is at the foot of the stairs to the stateroom’s private entrance, which means a shower after a day at the beach won’t require trenching water through the interior.

Two identical staterooms are forward, both with wet heads. I took the starboard forward stateroom, which was so comfortable I had to rip myself out of bed to take a few pictures as the sun came up. Two opening ports and an overhead hatch funneled in fresh breezes, and the clearance over the berth provided an open feeling not found in many forepeak staterooms. I would install a few deep shelves to compensate for the one, albeit large, drawer.

Additional stowage is in the passageway, which also houses the AC/DC panel. The panel needs to be protected by a door or recessed deeper so people passing by won’t hit the breakers.

Totally equipped, the Lagoon is about $430,000.
