OWNER COMMENTS

S/V Vitesse is a Bocas Del Toro. Panama based 1989 Jeanneau Lagoon 55s Catamaran. This JTA Jeanneau Technique Advances / Lagoon 55s catamaran has had a total refit and has been customized turning it into 60 foot waterline boat by adding two extra feet in the engine room area and then three foot swim platforms / sugar scoops. This all epoxy built fiberglass cored boat was built from the Jeanneau factory using carbon reinforcements and Kevlar inlayed bottoms.

New plumbing, new wiring, new panels, new watermaker, new standing and running rigging, new sails, newer engines, new electronics, new composite interior floors and cabinets, new flooring, new protective driving station, owners suite , new carbon hardtop with side wings and glass windows, new washer and dryer. The list goes on and on with the custom work that has been done to remove weight and keep the boat balanced. This refit was done over a 10 year period to turn an x-charter boat into the perfect 2 person cruiser. Having the knowledge from owning a composite kit aircraft company for over 15 years allowed the current owners the ability to create a boat that checks almost all of the wants in a cruising vessel.

This Lagoon 55 sailing yacht, has undergone a full refit, and restored to a better than original beauty. This 3 cabin, 3 head owners version is a must-see.

In the late 1980s, racing catamaran designers made the first cruising catamarans. Foremost among the designers were VPLP ( a French based naval architecture firm founded by Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prvost). Vitesse is hull number 5 restored to better than new condition over the past ten years.

Why an early model Lagoon? The answer is simple.1) Horsepower to weight. The ship is elegantly designed to provide spacious living but it retains a racing-cats v-hull shape and lightweight. Her displacement is 13 tons compared to the modern 55 foot boat which weigh in around 20 tons. 2) The difference is in the build. These boats were hand laid up using woven e-glass and EPOXY vacuum bagged in a mold. Some of the L55s were also built using carbon reinforcements and Kevlar inlaid in the hulls below the waterline for abrasion resistance. This vessel was one of the few that has all three materials used in her build. It was also built with PVC core below the waterline so rot would not be an issue here. Building this way gave her better performance, lively acceleration and speed to safely to outrun weather and get to your destination. She has excellent sailing qualities and easy ship handling. This vessel goes over the seas instead of punching through them..

The ships refit was thorough, repairing items that had suffered the impacts of time and age which brings her to better new.

In 2010, Vitesse was put the on the hard. The top deck, formerly cored in balsa, in areas where attachments like deck blocks, tracks, stanchions or other hardware had been mounted, had developed rot in the core because the balsa core was not remove and replaced with thicken epoxy hard points. That takes time and material to do it right and we all know that production boats are trying to cut cost. All of the deck hardware was removed then the core and glass was removed and replaced with synthetic PVC foam core, vacuum bonded and re-glassed and faired anywhere that had any water intrusion or rot. The aft cross beam also needed to be rebuilt. The forward part of the bridge deck in front of the main bulkhead also had core rot. That complete area also had the core replaced and re-glassed with new tramp stainless hardware with backing plates so that issue would not happen again. The next issue that was addressed was the cockpit and duel outboard driving stations that had restricted views for maneuvering the boat. The driving stations were removed including the double teak floors that revealed more rotten core that needed replaced.

In 2011, we then rebuilt that entire cockpit area making new seating and we moved the driving station to the bulkhead. Vitesse now has a view of each corner of the boat for easy maneuvering. Electronic shifting was installed at the new helm with a backup plug on the port cockpit for a remote set of shifters. This allows us to be able to walk the boat while docking. Another plus is that same shifter can be placed forward thru the open hatch at the windlass locker so the captain can help anchor the boat. This is a huge plus as shouting or hand signals are not necessary to determine where the anchor rode is.

The next big change was the engine rooms. Originally, the engines were against the engine room bulkhead with the v-drives inside under the bed. That meant the engine room was completely open to the bed so heat, diesel and normal engine room stuff was not isolated from the bedroom. It also gave bad access to the shaft seal because it was directly under the bulkhead where the engine was against. We decided to spend the time correcting these issues. It required two foot extensions for the hulls in that area. They were constructed using the same build materials except the core was PVC. The hulls were cutoff close to engine room bulkhead in the solid glass area. The new panels were installed and then the fun was to reshape the rest of the engine room to fit the new panels. While this was being done we also added sugar scoop type platforms into the end of the hulls. It took 3 months per side to make the parts, cut off and install the platforms and then reshape and reinstall back to the factory specs. Carbon reinforcements were also used in this area. The original engine mount beds were just stringers with steel plates for the engine to sit on. The stringers were left but shelves were added so you could lay or sit beside the engine. The engine rooms were then filled and finished with all epoxies materials and then Awlgrip paint was applied New rudder shaft logs with new bearings replaced the aluminum tubes factory logs that were in bad shape.

For a total of 18 months, we worked full time on the hard to fix hull and deck rot issues, remove all hardware, mast, boom, bow beam, compression beam and their fittings, change anchor brackets to the bottom side, build 7 bow sprit for Code-0, remove front windows and make those areas ready for hatches. We cut the hulls and finished the 5 foot extensions. We filled and finished the hulls and them painted her with Awlgrip fighting lady yellow. We also Awlgripped all of the aluminum parts including the mast and beams. A Coppercoat bottom job was applied in Aug. 2011. The boat was then craned into the water and towed home to continue the work with no engines, no fuel tanks, no rudders and so on.

From mid 2011 2016, we purchased new and lightly used Lewmar Ocean hatches to replace and up-size the hatches that were installed by the factory. All of the hatches were removed and molds for the hatch deck rings were made to fit the new hatches. New parts were made and installed and hard points for the screws were added so no water could get into the core. Ten new portlights were also installed on the outside of the hulls. Five of the older port lights were re-used in the inboard sections of the forward hulls for more ventilation. New acrylic was installed to make them like new.

We purchased used Yanmar 4JH4-HTE 110hp engines which had only 600 hours on them in 2014. We took them down to the block and installed new bearings and seals, rings and did valve jobs on the heads, cleaned and reassembled them and then test ran them until the engine rooms were finished.

In 2016 the carbon and corecell hardtop was made along with the carbon side wings and front windshield with opening glass windows. The raised driving helm was built with an instrument panel for the electronics and hydraulic steering station. Electronic shifting was added and installed when both engines were done. The main fuel tanks were removed and composite tanks were made and replaced under the aft berth floors. The wiring was pulled and replace with new 220 / 110 volt AC panels and 24 / 12 volt DC panels. The plumbing was also removed and replaced for hot and cold water, bilge pumps, fresh water pumps and high water systems with alarms. The rudders were pulled and remade. In 2017 we had Vitesse back together enough that we spent 3 weeks in the Bahamas.

From 2017 to present, the interior was completely removed so most of the living areas were changed using PVC cored panels that I built. We opened the fresh water tanks and cleaned them. We then replaced the plywood tops of the tanks with composite. The floors were also replaced with composite. We purchased and installed stainless stanchions and gates from Hylas. New 1.25 316 stainless corners and bow pulpits were custom made and installed. The side coach roof windows were removed and replaced with hurricane glass windows. We added a new solar system. New Lewmar 70 hatches were installed in the front of the coach roof which replaced the fixed windows from the factory. The teak toe rails were also in bad shape and were removed and remade out of composite materials and painted with Teak Awlgrip paint.

In 2020, the topside was faired, and painted with Snow white Awlgrip and Matterhorn white non-skid.

The Genset and Watermaker were installed in 2021.

(Starboard Hull) Aft guest berth. It was left using the same layout updating the liners, adding new veneer, led lights, 24 volt electric head / bidet with 24 volt LectraSan holding tanks that are Coast Guard approved, glass counter tops, new fixtures, new sliding acrylic mirrors, new flooring and a latex end load queen bed. Moving forward, major changes we made in the redesign of this interior. Making the galley longer with overhead cabinets and making a more open overhead area for more light from the coach roof windows. We removed the forward doorway using part of the dressing room from the forward berth to make this happen. We took out the bed and then built a large pantry for storage. I also sew. The pantry also has folding tops that make a sewing table for my sewing machine stored it that area. The room in front of the berth was the work room that only had access from a deck hatch. By removing the bed where the pantry is, a new door was was added for the workroom access. All new galley was installed with a Isotherm freezer and fridge, a portable refrigerator/ freezer in a pull out drawer, Blomberg gas oven / stove, lightweight glass tile counter tops and huge double sink area. The head in the galley area is our ocean going head. No holding tank, with new larger toilet with hand pump, new liners and mirrors.

(Port Hull) The owners berth is aft. It was left using the same layout updating the liners, adding new veneer, led lights, electric head / bidet with 24 volt LectraSan, glass counter tops, new fixtures, new sliding acrylic mirrors, new flooring and a latex end load queen bed. The chart room was also left in the same shape were the updated control electrical panels are located. Moving forward, the twin bunk berth was converted to one overhead bunk with a 220 volt Blomberg separate washer and vent-less heat pump dryer. Next to it is a Isotherm freezer for overflow or place to move the food to defrost the other units in the galley. The access for the washer and dryer is behind the cabinets so if the units need to be replaced in the future the access is easy. Further forward, was 2 more heads that were removed and replaced for a large walk in shower. Glass tile floors and counter top with curved bench seat and great storage using white Formica. The crew berth again had only access from the deck hatch in that area. By removing the wall from the 2 heads, that is now access from the shower room. It is now the sail and rope locker / storage.

(The Saloon) was completely taken out and rebuilt. We used real leather furniture on the port side and 2 massage chairs for lounging and seating on the starboard side. There is a Isotherm ice maker with a flat screen tv also on the port side. A beverage refrigerator was also added that has not been hooked up in the middle of the saloon for easy access.The house batteries and 2 inverter chargers are behind the sofas.

(The cockpit) can be completely closed in with Strataglass snap on window covers or inside screens. The back of the cockpit has a complete drape for rain protection. A single drop leaf teak table was refinished using epoxy finish. New seat cushions with Sunbrella material are in place. The helm chair is the focal point of the boat. A Recaro chair from a mega-yacht. Once you sit in it, you will not want to leave. The electronics are Raymarine from 2009 and 2016. Most of the electronics were installed to make the 8 day trip home from Tortola in 2009. Some have been now been replaces with newer unites and we have a NEMA 2000 system. The autopilot has been upgraded to a newer version. There is great storage in the cockpit in the floors and under the seats with two rigid frigid coolers built in to the seats. Blue led overhead lights with 2 center tri-color lights.

(Tender storage) A fiberglass / carbon fiber Targa bar was built and installed to lift the tender. Hinged aluminum chocks are in place to set the tender on for storage. The two electric sheet winches are used to pickup and lower the tender. We can do this in less than 2 minutes ether way. The tender can easily be tied down to the cleats for big wave traveling. The tender is a 12 foot Rigidboat with a Euro driving station bolted to the side of the boat. Yamaha 25 HP 2 stroke for lighter weight. It came with a cooler bench seat. Bimini for sun protection.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Lagoon 55 review: new iteration remains quintessential cat

October 14, 2021

34 years on from the original Lagoon 55, the new iteration shows how much catamaran design has evolved towards loft living with a sea view from the terrace. François Tregouet reports

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

The number 55 holds a special place in the history of Lagoon – it was its inaugural model, launched back in 1987. The 2021 version of the Lagoon 55, still designed by VPLP, is the quintessential modern cruising catamaran according to the world leader in the multihull market. Yachting World was able to hop aboard to measure just how far we’ve come from one millennium to the next.

Legend has it that the first Lagoon 55 was christened Lagoon , and that her owner drew the logo, the now famous palm frond, on a restaurant tablecloth.

After years of sailing on the family’s First 456, she wanted to ‘sail flat and have more space’. Convinced of the advantages of the catamaran, she wanted the silhouette to ‘resemble that of a monohull ’.

Flying a Code 0 kept the Lagoon 55 moving in our light airs trial. Photo: Lagoon / Nicolas Claris

Thirty-four years later, three design studios were involved in the creation of the brand-new Lagoon 55, including former Renault chief designer Patrick Le Quément on the exterior design. The imposing topsides deliver taut lines, sculpted bows and a pronounced lower chine to maximise interior living space yet minimise wetted surface area.

Article continues below…

A new feature from the Bordeaux-based yard is that the sugarscoop transoms extend beyond the topsides to make access to the boat easier. Once aboard, two steps lead up to the cockpit which is flush-decked with the aft platform. With the mainsheet track now on the bimini the aft beam disappears, freeing up the view and your options for moving around: this is a real terrace on the sea.

Aerial view shows off the new Lagoon 55’s outdoor living areas on foredeck, flying bridge and main deck. Photo: Lagoon / Nicolas Claris

Such fluidity of circulation is also to be found in the forward cockpit, no longer ‘dug’ into the foredeck but integrated seamlessly on the same level as the trampoline. With its comfortable seating, two options for sun protection and communication with the interior via the opening front window, this is a completely revised living space.

Command station

Higher up, it seems there’s now no longer a question of whether to have a flybridge on a 55ft cat – it’s a mandatory feature. The optional rigid bimini obviously means the boom is quite a lot higher, compelling the crew to undertake some challenging manoeuvres.

A second access to the flybridge on the starboard side deck, an option not fitted on our test boat, will avoid the need for any further acrobatics. Without it, it’s a long way from the helm to the foredeck via the aft cockpit to, for example, set the Code 0.

Forward sun deck continues seamlessly onto the trampoline. Photo: Lagoon / Nicolas Claris

These couple of reservations aside, the flybridge has a lot going for it. In addition to the forward and aft sunbathing areas and the outdoor galley, the forward-facing flybridge table and seating is very pleasant – in good weather and moderate wind anyway.

From their position to starboard, the person at the helm has a very good 270° view for manoeuvring off the pontoon and leaving harbour. At the foot of the mast, which has been moved aft in keeping with current trends, all sailing manoeuvres are carried out using three winches. The mainsail is hoisted and the self-tacking genoa unfurled with ease, by a single crewmember.

Aft cockpit and lounging areas are protected from the heat of the sun by the flybridge above. Photo: Lagoon / Nicolas Claris

However, on the day of our test, the Catalan coast was building up a swell, and the wind wasn’t forecast to exceed 9 knots. There was a lack of square metres to our white sails to get the fully-laden 33 tonnes moving forward. So a 154m² Code 0 was quickly unfurled, allowing us to sail at between 5.5 and 6.5 knots with the wind on the beam.

We then bore off under the 272m² asymmetric spinnaker at an average of 5.5 knots before returning upwind (40° to the apparent) at 5 knots. The Lagoon is very easy to handle, and with a little more time – and wind– we might have validated the 8- to 9-knot average speeds claimed by the works crew on their European tour.

Italian influence

The third group to have worked on this version 3.0 of the Lagoon 55 is Nauta Design, who drew the interiors. The joinery and materials are reminiscent of the atmosphere aboard Lagoon’s two big cats, the Sixty 5 and Seventy 7. This illustrates the high-end positioning of the 55, which for the time being tops the manufacturer’s ‘classic’ range.

While the hulls are available with four, five and even six-cabin versions, the layout in the nacelle remains identical. The L-shaped galley on the starboard side is extended by a nice bar unit.

The large U-shaped bench seat simply invites you to settle in comfortably, still with an unrestricted view of the sea. The telescopic table also adapts to suit the use.

There is plenty of stowage space, from floor hatches to bookshelves. In the four-cabin version we tested, the owner’s cabin, aft on the starboard side, enjoys a privileged amount of space, occupying two-thirds of the hull. That said, the guests in the three other cabins have nothing to complain about, each with an en-suite.

Some 20 examples of the original 1987 Lagoon 55 were built but, even ahead of the official launch, its namesake from 2021 has already had more orders – confirmation enough that Lagoon excels in understanding the expectations of today’s sailors. The aesthetics may no longer have much to do with that of a monohull, and the displacement inherent with such volumes doesn’t lend itself to pleasure at the helm, but you have to be impressed by the variety of different spaces available inside and out this catamaran, as well as the level of finish. Ultimately, the design team has succeeded in integrating several big innovations, especially on the exterior. In this sense, the Lagoon 55, 2021 version, is a worthy heir to the original. It sets new standards for ‘Crossing the oceans in comfort and serenity’ as was the ambition stated in the sales brochure... from 1987.

This Lagoon 55 sailing yacht, has undergone a full refit, and restored to a better than original beauty. This 3 cabin, 3 head owner’s version is a must-see.

In the late 1980’s, racing catamaran designers made the first cruising catamarans. Foremost among the designers were VPLP ( a French based naval architecture firm founded by Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prévost). Vitesse is hull number 5 restored to better than new condition over the past ten years.

Why an early model Lagoon? The answer is simple.1) Horsepower to weight. The ship is elegantly designed to provide spacious living but it retains a racing-cat’s “v-hull” shape and lightweight. Her displacement is 13 tons compared to the modern 55 foot boat which weigh in around 20 tons. 2) The difference is in the build. These boats were hand laid up using woven e-glass and EPOXY vacuum bagged in a mold. Some of the L55’s were also built using carbon reinforcements and Kevlar inlaid in the hulls below the waterline for abrasion resistance. This vessel was one of the few that has all three materials used in her build. It was also built with PVC core below the waterline so rot would not be an issue here. Building this way gave her better performance, lively acceleration and speed to safely to outrun weather and get to your destination. She has excellent sailing qualities and easy ship handling. This vessel goes over the seas instead of punching through them..

The ship’s refit was thorough, repairing items that had suffered the impacts of time and age which brings her to better new.

For a total of 18 months, we worked full time on the hard to fix hull and deck rot issues, remove all hardware, mast, boom, bow beam, compression beam and their fittings, change anchor brackets to the bottom side, build 7′ bow sprit for Code-0, remove front windows and make those areas ready for hatches. We cut the hulls and finished the 5 foot extensions. We filled and finished the hulls and them painted her with Awlgrip fighting lady yellow. We also Awlgripped all of the aluminum parts including the mast and beams. A Coppercoat bottom job was applied in Aug. 2011. The boat was then craned into the water and towed home to continue the work with no engines, no fuel tanks, no rudders and so on.

From mid 2011 – 2016, we purchased new and lightly used Lewmar Ocean hatches to replace and up-size the hatches that were installed by the factory. All of the hatches were removed and molds for the hatch deck rings were made to fit the new hatches. New parts were made and installed and hard points for the screws were added so no water could get into the core. Ten new portlights were also installed on the outside of the hulls. Five of the older port lights were re-used in the inboard sections of the forward hulls for more ventilation. New acrylic was installed to make them like new.

From 2017 to present, the interior was completely removed so most of the living areas were changed using PVC cored panels that I built. We opened the fresh water tanks and cleaned them. We then replaced the plywood tops of the tanks with composite. The floors were also replaced with composite. We purchased and installed stainless stanchions and gates from Hylas. New 1.25” 316 stainless corners and bow pulpits were custom made and installed. The side coach roof windows were removed and replaced with hurricane glass windows. We added a new solar system. New Lewmar 70 hatches were installed in the front of the coach roof which replaced the fixed windows from the factory. The teak toe rails were also in bad shape and were removed and remade out of composite materials and painted with Teak Awlgrip paint.

In 2020, the topside was faired, and painted with Snow white Awlgrip and Matterhorn white non-skid.

The Genset and Watermaker were installed in 2021.

(The Saloon) was completely taken out and rebuilt. We used real leather furniture on the port side and 2 massage chairs for lounging and seating on the starboard side. There is a Isotherm ice maker with a flat screen tv also on the port side. A beverage refrigerator was also added that has not been hooked up in the middle of the saloon for easy access. The house batteries and 2 inverter chargers are behind the sofas.

Lagoon 42, Bilby

“Through our travels, we’ve met other Lagoon 42 owners who bought their boat through other brokers (overseas)… You don’t know how good you’ve got it until you meet someone who got much less.

Any failures are ours due lack of familiarity or faulty memory.” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Lagoon 42, Sabella

“”Lagoons are boldly angular in shape, and we thought that was fantastic. It creates that space inside and looks great on the outside. And the sailing performance for a production catamaran … is very very good.

When we arrived in Les Sables-d’Olonne John had this rockstar entrance… surreal does not even begin to describe how it felt.” ” – Aaron and Lara Jones – Lagoon 42, Sabella

“A big tick to TMG… They’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG. ” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

“It’s very very easy, so much space, we just had 4 couples for 5 days, it was very chilled out and relaxed.

The flybridge is such a big beautiful place with a view, its elevated and we put permanent clears around ours so you can use it anytime, day or night, windy or raining, it doesn’t matter.

Lagoon 42 Owner Review

“I couldn’t fault the TMG network and what we were able to do and how everyone was easy to get on with. The actual handover period… was fantastic. We sat on the boat for the first day and went through everything. It was a great learning experience, and then out sailing the next day. Making sure everything worked properly. It was a fantastic thing to do and I can’t speak highly enough about that actual process.” Paul Brown – Lagoon 42

Happy Lagoon 46 owners

“So excited to have finally taken delivery of our Lagoon 46 in Manly, Queensland yesterday. Rowan McMahon from TMG took us on a windy delivery trip up from the Gold Coast yesterday with lots of smiles onboard. Very happy with our clears, solar arch, Weber BBQ platform and tender setup. We can’t thank TMG enough for their support in getting Arena ready for our family sailing adventures.” – Dean Robertson, Lagoon 46 Owner.

Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

“We love our Lagoon, we’ve been out in some pretty tough conditions and it’s always brought us home safe, it’s fantastic under sail and great at anchor so we absolutely love our boat.

Our favourite thing about our boat is the places it can take us, we get to see a lot of the east coast that most people can only imagine to see and to be able to access it with a boat it’s just fantastic.” – Matt Doncan – Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

“Greg and Sue Harding created and monitor the Lagooned in Oz Facebook Community and are vital and enthusiastic Lagoon owners.

The pair have owned numerous Lagoons and love their current Lagoon 440. – Greg and Sue Harding” – Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

There is more enjoyment in a sailboat in that the enjoyment is in the journey as much as it’s in the destination. That to me makes it a totally different experience.

The advantage of a flybridge to me is the fact you are that much higher off the surface of the water, you can get better vision all around, a greater sense of being on-top of the whole thing and I do enjoy being out in the sun most of the time.” – Jeff D’Albora – Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

Mark Rolle envisioned a life on the sea and when the opportunity presented itself he didn’t hold back.

Lagoon European Pickup Review

Liz states, “A big tick to TMG… they’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG.”

Just do it! A European Launch Story

“We looked around quite a bit, and investigated the opposition! The 42ft is the right size for us, and she has a good feel when under sail. The combination of layout and space was just what we were looking for. Importantly, the Lagoon 42 sails well short handed. The 42 is a very, very nice boat. I’d be hard pressed to fault it,” said Drew.

Why life is better lived on a Lagoon

Greg and Sue Harding, owners of a magnificent Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer, are the first to admit they are Lagoon tragics. “Our love affair with Lagoon started from day one, even though our first Lagoon was really a project boat.”

Paul Rogers is one of the founders of Lagooned in Oz “…the best thing about our lifestyle is not the boat or location, it’s the people. There is a whole community of Lagoon owners, and the Lagoon events have connected us with so many wonderful people.” – Paul Rogers, Moor RnR

Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

David and Nerida Lee have been living aboard and sailing their Lagoon 380 for years, speaking highly of Lagoon as a brand and their on water lifestyle.

“The fact that you can wake up every morning with different scenery… it’s the freedom! For us it was finding a boat that would take us and all our possessions and our Lagoon does that. We live and sail in paradise! ” – David and Nerida Lee – Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

Ticketyboo delivered

“The entire TMG team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable… From our first enquiry, through specification, order, to delivery and after-sales, TMG have been terrific to deal with. Ordering our Lagoon 40 was no small decision and a perfect delivery reassured us from the start,” Mike Pain.

Fall in love with the Flybridge

“I love the air on the flybridge, the overview when going into anchorages, harbours etc. Its’ like standing on the bridge of my own little ship.” Says Martin.

Mediterranean highlights and advice

After three years in the Mediterranean Peter says he could definitely have spent another three… But unfortunately, everyone has time restraints… There aren’t many islands in the Mediterranean Peter hasn’t visited, with an impressive list of 47 in Greece alone… Peter talks about his favourite places and what he got up to in the winter.

Sailing Sabella – A Lagoon 42 Adventure

“I wanted a big, spacious saloon that you could see through for transparency. I wanted it to feel like a home, like a floating apartment. I thought regarding the kids, on the 42 specifically, we can steer the boat from here on the same level, it’s not a separate area … and the entire thing can be enclosed without it being a visual and physical barrier,” said Lara.

Waters Family Update

‘Lagoons are perfect as a live-aboard option. They have plenty of room, everyone in the family has their own space. Tyler can be off in her room, Max on the trampoline burning off energy, Darren keeping on top of the maintenance. The boat never feels cramped,” says Kristy.

“Living the dream” on board a Lagoon 380

Every day is magical when you’re living on board. Take this morning, for example … the water was like a millpond, delivering a special sunrise. This was the view from our cabin as we woke up. We chose the 380 for her spacious interior. She’s super easy to sail, well suited for the two of us to live and work on board comfortably and she has plenty of indoor and outdoor living areas,” Said owners, Justin and Kelly.

Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“Ross was super – he went through everything.

We’ve never had that; going through everything was a huge positive.” – Graeme and Linda Hubbard – Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“I think it’s a fascinating and great way to live … so many people put things off until retirement and then can’t achieve their dream when they get there.

I’m happy with my choice.

It stretches you a bit and you juggle a lot of things, but with good people like the team at TMG, you can follow your dream.” – Drew Hakin, Adèle 1

Wonderful memories sailing Sabella

“From our 6 months onboard, there are so many personal highlights. From a sailing and cruising perspective, I can hardly put our time in the Balearics into words. Formentera in particular, some of the anchorages there once the crowds had gone for the day were absolutely stunning. Seeing our young girls develop was something special.”

A truly unique Sailaway adventure

Steve is as passionate about Lagoon and Sailaway offers people access to a ‘wow factor’ as part of their holiday – “It’s in reach for people to enjoy a bit of that business class feel with their friends and family, in an everyday way. With the Lagoon, we can live out our passions for sailing, nature and the environment. I have had confidence in Lagoon from the moment I first stepped aboard.”

Cruising adventures onboard El Gato

“The comfort is just amazing. When we were in rough seas sitting in the cockpit in the monohull, we could touch the water. But in the cat, you’re sitting on top of the flybridge – with 2m following seas – she’s solid, she’s stable, she’s just fantastic in the water,” said Lagoon 440 owners.

Sailing Sabella April Update

Lagoon 42 owner Aaron tells us “…living on Sabella is wonderful. Whilst much smaller than an Australian house, we each have our own space and it doesn’t feel cramped.”

Home sweet home is a Lagoon 420

Bob and Margaret Kennedy have called their Lagoon 420 home for 6 years, “We thought it was terrific. In comparison, our other boat was ‘camping’, but this was ‘home’. We found a little-used boat in very good condition – we lucked out with the perfect boat.”

The Jones Family heads for warmer climates

“There are so many wonderful memories from this short time at sea – sunsets, dolphins, peaceful night watches – this way of life is just spectacular and really feels right for our family. We pinch ourselves each day and wonder when we’ll wake up from the dream,” Lagoon 42 owners the Jones family.

Is this the best Lagoon 450 ever?

This Lagoon 450F was Johns 3rd out of 4 Lagoons “You want to buy a production boat, built in a factory in series. You get a properly designed and built boat. Compared to other 40ft boats a 40ft Lagoon will have the most volume. A signature of Lagoon is its vertical windows. The advantages are you have ample headspace in the saloon, plenty of light and 360 degree views, whilst keeping the sun out.”

The Jones Family takes delivery of their new 42

“We’re in Les Sables-d’Olonne and we’re taking the boat out for a test sail and I’m floating on a cloud, I’ve got no idea what’s going on! It’s the most stunning day – in January no less! The weather was fine and the wind almost calm, but regardless she made 3 knots in 5 knots of breeze. What a clever little thing she is!”

HAPPY DAYS ON ZEPHYR

“As soon as we got onboard, we were sold— the sliding doors were brilliant, the big glass window right by the kitchen sink—it was just like an apartment,” said Lagoon 39 owners.

PACIFIC HIGHLIGHTS WITH THE WATERS FAMILY

With only limited yachting experience between Darren and Kristy, their Lagoon 500 is fortunately “very user friendly and it was easy to pick up”. To anyone considering following their lead, Kristy is quite clear — “Do it!”

Don McIntyre- A Lifetime of Global Adventure

Don McIntyre, Global Adventurer and Explorer, Life in Tonga with his Lagoon 450, Golden Globe, Royal Yacht Club Nomuka. Don describes the boat as “perfect, fantastic, incredible”— this “is the most fun” and “living on-board is like an apartment on the water”.

The liveaboard life Lagoon style

The Atkinsons love their catamaran. They had the design in mind for 20 years, and even though they weren’t actively looking, when they saw the Lagoon 400, they found the exact layout they had been dreaming of.

LAGOON 52F – HANDOVER COMPLETE!

Working with TMG was a positive experience for John and Tania, “the team were always on hand and did everything they could for them throughout the process,” said the Lagoon 52 owners.

Lagoon 42 modified for quadriplegic sailor

‘When you’re in a wheelchair there’s a lot of places you never see or you can’t get to. They’re just not accessible. Yesterday when we were out we sailed past some of those places that I have never seen before,’ Cliff said. For many sailors the freedom of the sea is one of the attractions. For Cliff, it’s life changing.

The 9 Best Things to See and Do in Rostov Veliky

As an ancient town with a history dating back to 862, Rostov Veliky is a popular spot on the Golden Ring trail . Famous for its historic architecture, traditional culture and authentic food, it’s also perfect for a day trip from Moscow. Here are the nine best things to see and do when in town.

Check out lake nero.

Lake Nero is estimated to be around 500,000 years old. One of Rostov ’s major draws, it’s popular with locals and tourists alike. Stop off here to go on a fishing trip, recuperate on the beach, try your luck at horse riding or just stroll along the bank and enjoy the views.

Visit Rostov Kremlin

One of the best preserved Russia’s medieval fortresses, Rostov Kremlin is the city’s most recognizable landmark. Originally an archbishop’s residence, the Kremlin comprises five churches, the iconic Dormition Cathedral and a number of civic buildings – all surrounded by a defensive wall. Rostov Kremlin also appeared in the classic Soviet film comedy Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future .

Marvel at Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery

The ultimate visual stunner, this monastery complex has an equally spectacular location on the shore of Lake Nero. Founded in the 14th century, the monastery is a living pageant of Russia’s history – many Russian monarchs prayed in its churches, including Catherine the Great, Alexander II and Russia’s last emperor – Nicholas II .

Take in Kekin Gymnasium

This gymnasium named after Kekin was founded in 1910. Hailing from Rostov, A.L. Kekin was a successful merchant in St.Petersburg . After his only son died, the fortune he left to his hometown was used to build this visually arresting and well-preserved gymnasium.

Browse Rostov Enamel Museum

Rostov Veliky has always been famous for enamel miniatures. This craft came from Byzantium in the 10th century and was particularly popular in Russia in 16th and 17th centuries. The museum holds the largest collection of Rostov enamel miniatures, which includes some 2,500 pieces created between the 18th and 20th centuries.

Check in at the Museum of the Frog Princess

Based in a refurbished 18th-century mansion, this museum is devoted to the Frog Princess – one of Russia’s most popular fairy tale characters. The museum is a hit with kids, who love the fun interactive quests, adorable frogs and food baked in a traditional Russian oven.

Enjoy Troitse-Sergiev Varnitsky Monastery

Unlike other monasteries on the list, this one underwent a fundamental restoration, during which a new cathedral was built. A sheer feast for the eyes, the monastery was named after the Saint Sergey Radonezhsky, who founded the original Trinity monastery.

Lagoon 55s (Panama)

S/V Vitesse is a Bocas Del Toro. Panama based 1989 Jeanneau Lagoon 55s Catamaran For Sale By Owner. This JTA Jeanneau Technique Advances / Lagoon 55s catamaran has had a total refit and has been customized turning it into 60 foot waterline boat by adding two extra feet in the engine room area and then three foot swim platforms / sugar scoops. This all epoxy built fiberglass cored boat was built from the Jeanneau factory using carbon reinforcements and Kevlar inlayed bottoms.

New plumbing, new wiring, new panels, new watermaker, new standing and running rigging, new sails, newer engines, newer electronics, new composite interior floors and cabinets, new flooring, new protective driving station, owners suite , new carbon hardtop with side wings and glass windows, new washer and dryer. The list goes on and on with the custom work that has been done to remove weight and keep the boat balanced. This refit was done over a 10 year period to turn an x-charter boat into the perfect 2 person cruiser. Having the knowledge from owning a composite kit aircraft company for over 15 years allowed the current owners the ability to create a boat that checks almost all of the wants in a cruising vessel.

This Lagoon 55 sailing yacht, has undergone a full refit, and restored to a better than original beauty. This 3 cabin, 3 head owner’s version is a must-see.

Why an early model Lagoon? The answer is simple.

1) Horsepower to weight. The ship is elegantly designed to provide spacious living but it retains a racing-cat’s “v-hull” shape and lightweight. Her displacement is 13 tons compared to the modern 55 foot boat which weigh in around 20 tons.

2) The difference is in the build. These boats were hand laid up using woven e-glass and EPOXY vacuum bagged in a mold. Some of the L55’s were also built using carbon reinforcements and Kevlar inlaid in the hulls below the waterline for abrasion resistance. This vessel was one of the few that has all three materials used in her build. It was also built with PVC core below the waterline so rot would not be an issue here. Building this way gave her better performance, lively acceleration and speed to safely to outrun weather and get to your destination. She has excellent sailing qualities and easy ship handling. This vessel goes over the seas instead of punching through them.

About the Refit

The ship’s refit was thorough, repairing items that had suffered the impacts of time and age which brings her to better new.

In 2010, Vitesse was put the on the hard. The top deck, formerly cored in balsa, in areas where attachments like deck blocks, tracks, stanchions or other hardware had been mounted, had developed rot in the core because the balsa core was not remove and replaced with structural filler and epoxy hard points. That takes time and material to do it right and we all know that production boats are trying to cut cost. All of the deck hardware was removed then the core and glass was removed and replaced with synthetic PVC foam core, vacuum bonded and re-glassed and faired anywhere that had any water intrusion or rot. The aft cross beam also needed to be rebuilt. The forward part of the bridge deck in front of the main bulkhead also had core rot. That complete area also had the core replaced and re-glassed with new tramp stainless hardware with backing plates so that issue would not happen again. The next issue that was addressed was the cockpit and duel outboard driving stations that had restricted views for maneuvering the boat. The driving stations were removed including the double teak floors that revealed more rotten core that needed replaced.

For a total of 18 months, we worked full time on the hard to fix hull and deck rot issues, remove all hardware, mast, boom, bow beam, compression beam and their fittings, change anchor brackets to the bottom side, build a 7 foot bow sprit for Code-0, remove front windows and make those areas ready for hatches. We cut the hulls and finished the 5 foot extensions. We filled and finished the hulls and them painted her with Awlgrip fighting lady yellow. We also Awlgripped all of the aluminum parts including the mast and beams. A Coppercoat bottom job was applied in Aug. 2011. The boat was then craned into the water and towed home to continue the work with no engines, no fuel tanks, no rudders and so on.

From 2017 to present, the interior was completely removed so most of the living areas were changed using PVC cored panels that I built. We opened the fresh water tanks and cleaned them. We then replaced the plywood tops of the tanks with composite. The floors were also replaced with composite. We purchased and installed stainless stanchions and gates from Hylas. New 1.25” 316 stainless corners and bow pulpits were custom made and installed. The side coach roof windows were removed and replaced with hurricane glass windows. We added a new solar system. New Lewmar 70 hatches were installed in the front of the coach roof which replaced the fixed windows from the factory. The teak toe rails were also in bad shape and were removed and remade out of composite materials and painted with Teak Awlgrip paint.

In 2020, the topside was faired, and painted with Snow white Awlgrip and Matterhorn white non-skid.

The Genset and Watermaker were installed in 2021.

Accommodations

(The Saloon) was completely taken out and rebuilt. We used real leather furniture on the port side and 2 massage chairs for lounging and seating on the starboard side. There is a Isotherm ice maker with a flat screen tv also on the port side. A beverage refrigerator was also added that has not been hooked up in the middle of the saloon for easy access. The house batteries and 2 inverter chargers are behind the sofas.

(The Cockpit) can be completely closed in with Strataglass snap on window covers or inside screens. The back of the cockpit has a complete drape for rain protection. A single drop leaf teak table was refinished using epoxy finish. New seat cushions with Sunbrella material are in place. The helm chair is the focal point of the boat. A Recaro chair from a mega-yacht. Once you sit in it, you will not want to leave. The electronics are Raymarine from 2009 and 2016. Most of the electronics were installed to make the 8 day trip home from Tortola in 2009. Some have been now been replaces with newer unites and we have a NEMA 2000 system. The autopilot has been upgraded to a newer version. There is great storage in the cockpit in the floors and under the seats with two rigid frigid coolers built in to the seats. Blue led overhead lights with 2 center tri-color lights.

(Tender Storage) A fiberglass / carbon fiber Targa bar was built and installed to lift the tender. Hinged aluminum chocks are in place to set the tender on for storage. The two electric sheet winches are used to pickup and lower the tender. We can do this in less than 2 minutes ether way. The tender can easily be tied down to the cleats for big wave traveling. The tender is a 12 foot Rigidboat with a Euro driving station bolted to the side of the boat. Yamaha 25 HP 2 stroke for lighter weight. It came with a cooler bench seat. Bimini for sun protection.
