How to trim the sails on a Lagoon 42 cruising catamaran

Here are some basic tips for sail trimming on our Lagoon 42 catamaran Blue Buddha. Although some of these tips are unique to the Lagoon 42 sail configuration, they apply to most cats with aft mast configurations like most new Lagoons. Feel free to ask questions via the comments features.

Trimming the mainsail for performance

Note: The stock sail plan for the L42 is unbalanced resulting in an underpowered jib and significant weather helm. To address this issue and improve performance, the main needs to be slightly underpowered through reefing and/or increasing twist as described below. If the boat does not feel balanced and the weather helm is significant, your main is overpowered and needs to be adjusted.

The procedure to trim the mainsail varies based on whether you will be going mostly upwind or downwind and whether you have moderate or strong winds.

Going upwind in moderate winds (<18knots): the standard procedure to trim the mainsail when on a beam or reaching is to center the traveler and trim the main sheet as needed until the upper tell tails fly nicely. Then adjust the angle of a tack, as needed, with the traveler (not the main sheet). You use the traveler instead of the mainsheet because moving the traveler will have less impact on sail twist than adjusting the mainsheet. By making adjustments with the traveler, you will be able to maintain the correct twist for the wind speed.

Going upwind in strong winds (>18knots): start with the traveler 2 feet (60cm) to windward of the centerline, center the boom (sheet in). The traveler is placed to windward so that the boom is high when centered and the top of the main twists to spill air in heavy wind. If you need more twist simply move the traveler more to windward and ease the sheet so that the boom remains centered. When bearing off, simply ease the traveler as needed.

Going downwind in strong to moderate winds (<20 knots): start with the traveler halfway between the center line and the leeward end of the traveler, then ease the main sheet until the sail barely touches the shrouds.

Going downwind in strong winds (>20 knots): weather helm is especially noticeable when downwind in strong winds. Reef early and deeply to control the main’s power. You also need to flatten the main’s draft and increase twist to depower the sail. The L42 does not have enough controls to easily flatten the draft but you can increase twist by moving the traveler to windward (even as much as centerline but not past it) and easing the sheet so that the boom returns to its original location.

PRO TIP: Think of the traveler as having two functions: 1) changing the angle of attack (by changing the boom location on a horizontal plane) and 2) changing the sail’s twist (by changing the boom height). When you move the traveler without moving the mainsheet , you are using the traveler primarily to change the angle of attack because you will be moving the location of the boom on the horizontal plane. When you do this the twist will remain mostly intact. However, if you move the traveler while also manipulating the mainsheet , you are using it primarily to impact twist by lowering or raising the boom. What do I mean by “manipulating the sheet”. I mean taking in or easing the mainsheet as you move the traveler so that the boom stays at the same angle of attack but it will move up or down on a vertical plane. Here is how you increase or decrease twist: to increase twist you want to raise the boom. You do this by increasing the distance between the traveler and the desired boom location (angle of attack). So for example, if I want the boom to be centered but I want to increase twist, I would move the traveler to windward and ease the mainsheet so that the boom stays centered but at a higher location. The higher boom opens the top of the sail. To decrease twist, you want to lower the boom height. You do this by reducing the distance between the traveler and the desired boom location. In the example above, I would move the traveler to leeward while taking in the mainsheet so that the boom angle of attack is in the original location but at a lower height. The main sheet will then be tight, which would lower the boom and close the top of the main (reducing twist).

Avoid main-only sailing

If you try to sail Blue Buddha with the mainsail only in higher winds (>15 knots), you will quickly realize that the boat does not want to bear away (i.e., does not turn away from the wind) and will instead strongly fight you to turn to windward (excessive weather helm). This will happen even when you have a very flat main. To avoid excessive weather helm, simply do not sail with the main only and instead always deploy the jib after rising the main. The reason for this is due to the design of the boat. The location of the mainsail in the Lagoon 42, and similar new Lagoons, causes the position of the Center of Force to be significantly aft of the midpoint of the boat. The center of force is the location on the side of the boat where the sideways wind force is concentrated. If this location is too aft of the midpoint, the wind is essentially pushing the stern of the boat to leeward, which turns the bow of the boat into the wind. This is what creates weather helm. To fix this, you need to move the center of force forward and the easiest and most effective way to so is to deploy the jib. If you still experience significant weather helm after deploying the jib, your main is still overpowered and you can follow the tips below on how to reduce weather helm.

Excessive weather helm reduces your speed

Read this article on weather helm on the L42 for more information.

When the boat has excessive weather helm, the rudder will be open trying to keep the boat on course and will essentially act as a brake that will significantly slow down the boat. The Lagoon 42 has an underpowered jib and an aft main, which results in a very aft center of force and a perfect storm for weather helm. Thus, addressing whether helm is necessary for most points of sail and most wind speeds (although you will see an increase in weather helm as the wind speed increases). You can determine the degree of weather helm by looking at the center mark of the helm. It should not be turned more than 45-70 degrees to leeward to keep a straight course. If you see the mark at 90 degrees or more, then you have excessive weather helm and your speed is suffering.  Here are the three key tips to move the center of force forward and decrease weather helm:

• Never sail with main only on the L42.
• Take another reef on the main. At 18+ knots, reefing the main will actually produce higher speeds because it will significantly reduce weather helm (see reefing guide below).
• Depower the main by increasing twist. To increase twist, you need to raise the boom. You do this by increasing the distance between the traveler and the desired boom location. For example, if you want the boom centered, you move the traveler significantly to windward of the center line (2-3 feet) and ease the main to keep the boom centered. This will cause the boom to rise increasing twist on top of the sail and spilling wind. See Pro Tip above.

Reducing main sail power in gusts

As I mentioned above, when the wind is above 18 knots the traveler should be to windward of the center line and the boom should be centered. In a sustained gust, ease the traveler up to the centerline. This will lift the boom slightly, increase twist, and drop some wind from the top of the main. If you need to spill more wind, ease the main sheet. Do not ease the traveler past the centerline in this situation as this increases mainsheet tension that flattens the sail preventing wind from being spilled. The reason why you ease the traveler to the center line but not beyond has to do with the shape of the traveler in relation to the boom swing. Because the traveler is straight, when the boom is moved from the centerline with the traveler the distance between the traveler cart and the gooseneck increases. This forces a tightening of the main sheet lowering the boom, which increases leech tension and flattens the sail. Although you want flat sails in strong winds, you want to increase twist to spill wind during gusts.

Controlling the twist of the jib

Blue Buddha is rigged with a self-tacking jib which can be difficult to properly shape without a proper clew board. If your jib has a clew board, then you increase twist by attaching the jib in the lower clew attachment points. If you want to decrease twist, you connect the jib to the highest points, which increases leech tension.

If your self-tacking jib doesn’t have a clew board, the only thing you can do is play with the self-tacking track. The location of the track cart has some impact on twist but not as much as a clew board. The track works this way: Move the track to windward to increase twist and to leeward to decrease twist. How do you know if you need to increase or decrease twist? Pay attention to the tell tails and follow this technique:

• Place the track cart so that it is leeward of center.
• Trim the jib so that the lower tell tails are both flying in parallel.
• If the windward tails are flying parallel to the boat but the leeward tails are not, you need to increase twist by moving the clew cart to windward. This almost never happens.
• If the leeward tails are flying parallel to the boat but the windward tails are not, you need to decrease twist by moving the cart to leeward.
• After moving the cart, trim the jib for the lower tails and check the upper tails again.

Don’t forget to check the leech tension line . This is a cord that can be adjusted on the clew of the sail. The leech line is used to control the fluttering of the leech. It is usually left alone because it does not truly impact shape or twist enough. However, if it is completely loose, your sail will luff on top even when properly trimmed!

In our experience, the standard jib that comes with the L42 tends to have too much twist when reaching, especially at higher winds and thus requires the cart to be all the way to leeward. In fact, my experience with the L42 is that at moderate and high winds, even with the cart at the most leeward position, the jib still has too much twist for perfect trimming although the trim is “good enough” for cruising. For this reason, we most often simply leave the carts at the most leeward position when sailing as we never need to increase twist. When we replace our jib, we will make sure to get a clew board.

Tack to safely change the jib cart position

If you need to change the position of the jib cart to adjust the twist of the jib in strong winds, simply tack, adjust the cart, and then tack back.

Here is the reefing guide we used in Blue Buddha. This is different than our original guide and includes changes we made after sailing 200nm in quite strong winds (up to 30 knots).

Nestor, Enjoyed the “instructions” . I have not tried the “Park the boat” and look forward to trying soon, although with my current sailing plans, not likely needed. The other instructions, I look forward to trying soon.

Thank you Wes!

Very interesting and well written. Thank you. We have a 421. I presume it’s very similar. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike. One key difference is that the 421 has the mast located much forward than the 42, which means the 421 does not have to deal with the excessive weather helm as much as the 42.

Oscar, thanks for a really good clear article. Hope I’m not too late with this. I’m new to the L42 so learning all the systems and sail plans. One question: What mainsail do you have, the 55 sq m or the 59 sq m square top?

Sorry for the delay Eugene, we have the 55sq. The issues noted about the tendency of the main to be overpowered are even more relevant to the square top, so the need to know how to properly flatten the main is even more critical with the larger main. Best, Nestor.

Helpful!!! I have plans to charter a Lagoon 42. Will be my first time with this version. Previously I sailed 450 F, 400 and 400 S2

Thanks Alejandro. Where will you be chartering a 42?

Hi there Nestor!!! I{ve just read your weather helm note .. great! very well explained, I do love clear explanations.. I´ve learened a lot, since I have most of the times chartered monohulss, and I relized that cats are not the same ball game….

I will be sailing a lagoon 42 in Baleares, by the end of june, and beggining of july

Hi I’m Steve Bean Ive just completed my circumnavigation with World ARC and hull NO 12 Lagoon 42 Spirit of Catherine. For downwind sailing I only use 1 sail and that is the Parasailor 166 sq meters. This I fly from 180 to 120 degrees no worries about gybing dead downwind and will cope with gust unto 40 knots. From 120 to 65 degrees in wind strengths unto 18 knots apparent I use Full Main and NorthSails code 65. Above this windspeed and dependant on sea state I use full main and jib unto 25 knots of windspeed apparent. in wind speed higher than this I try not to go to windward but if I have to then I sail with Jib only no main and can sail at 55 degrees to windward apparent. cheers Steve

Hi Steve, congratulations on finishing the world ARC! Do you know if you are the first L42 to do a circumnavigation? Thanks for the tips on the Parasailor. We will definitely get one when we are ready to go. Nestor.

I have on order a Lagoon 42, and wondering re regards what code sail I should use. I see you used a code 65. I’d appreciate your thoughts on why you chose this particular sail and how you found it.

Hi, when you write ‘In our experience, the standard jib that comes with the L42 tends to have too much twist when reaching, especially at higher winds and thus requires the cart to be all the way to windward.’ the last word should actually be leeward, correct??

You are correct. Sorry I missed this comment. I’ll fix the error too. Thanks for catching it!

Expansion on your instructions for sail trim is fantastic!! Thank you so much Nancy Davis SaltAire Lagoon 42 Hull 352

Thanks Nancy!

Valuable info,thank you. New to lagoon 46,how would you reef when sailing downwind.your answer would be appreciated. Caner

Hi Caner, the 46 has the same mast aft set up as the 42 so the reefing would be very similar. We’ve found that if you don’t have a downwind sail and are using the standard jib, you have to reef the main even more aggressively than what we suggested in this post. Otherwise, the weather helm is hard to control. If we use the standard jib, we put 1 reef on the main at 15 knots and 2 at 20 knots to keep the weather helm in check. That results in faster speeds than keeping more mainsail out. However, if you have a large downwind sail that can be sailed in 15-25 knots, then full main till 20 and then 1 reef up to 25 would be ideal. Best, Nestor.

Thanks very much Nestor

Very helpful article and easily understandable, thanks for sharing.

How to Lower the Mainsail

Back to basics sailing tips.

Here is how to safely lower the mainsail on a Lagoon and similar catamarans.  We walk you though what you need to do, from heading into wind and securing the boom, to releasing the halyard and lowering the sail.

This demonstration was done on the Lagoon 42 and is intended to give you confidence in your catamaran handling ability.

How to Prepare

• Head into the wind
• Furl the jib 
• Put engines in tick over forward and place on autopilot. 

Lowering the Mainsail

Main halyard – This is attached to the top of the sail (the top, triangle part of the sail) and this pulls the sail all the way up to the top of the mast.  In order to get the sail down, we are letting this go, allowing the line to drop the sail.

Run the line through your fingers once just to make sure that there aren’t any kinks or knots in the line that will get caught in the jammer when it’s running out, which can make a smooth operation a little bit awkward.

Mainsheet – pull in all the slack to avoid the boom swinging around.

Topping lift (or boom lift) – a line which runs from the top of the mast to the back of the boom.  Make sure that this line is relatively tight but not too tight – and make sure that the jammer is closed.

Undo the jammer (or the clutch) with the main halyard in it – load the halyard onto the winch, take in some line, relieving the tension from the clutch / jammer, then open the clutch.

Ease main halyard slowly – undo a wrap from the top of the winch and hold while you ease out the halyard. When it gets a little lower and there’s less weight in the sail you can take another turn off the winch so there is less friction allowing it to fall down a little bit easier.

Keep looking up to see that the sail is coming down, and that it’s all falling into the boom bag.

Pack away the sail in the boom bag but do not zip up (if it is safe to do so). We always advise keeping the boom bag open so it is available if you need it.

Lagoon 450S Catamaran Review: Design, Construction, & Performance

Lagoon 450s exterior, design, construction & sailing ability (part 1).

In the last three months, we have completed 3 blue water sailing trips, totaling 2400+ NM, on our Lagoon 450S catamaran. We are ready to share our thoughts about its performance, as well as our likes and dislikes about the catamaran overall. When we first saw the drawings of the Lagoon 450S, we really liked the design. It had many of the features we wanted in a cruising catamaran, the most important feature being the semi-raised helm station. This was always a non-negotiable point for us and the SporTop fit the bill perfectly. The other catamaran choice offering a semi-raised helm would have been the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 (review and pictures). The FP Helia is a nice boat, but we didn’t like the interior as much (purely personal preference) and it is substantially smaller than the Lagoon in volume (click on the picture below  to see the comparison).

Good cruising performance was another important feature but since living space is equally important to us, we opted to go for a cruiser rather than a racer cruiser like Outremer or Catana. We live and work aboard and we occasionally do educational charters . Therefore, we wanted good interior space, but we certainly did not want a slug either.

Based on previous sailing reports and the Lagoon design team’s projections, the Lagoon 450S seemed the right choice for us (Read our post about “ Why we chose the Lagoon 450S”  ).

We originally weren’t too thrilled about owning one of around 500+ similar catamarans built in the last four or so years. On top of that, production boats like Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot are often times unfairly tagged as “condomarans” that cannot sail worth a damn. These perceptions were not a good start for our new “home” right off the bat and not great for our exit strategy either. So, we researched this extensively. We found that unlike some other brands, statistics proved that Lagoon’s resale is very strong, particularly the 3-cabin version . But the 4-cabin Lagoons don’t do badly either. So we made peace with that issue, knowing that Lagoon holds its value fairly well. Moreover, we figured that with so many units built, all or most kinks should be worked out on this model by now. We really liked that idea! 

At the Lagoon factory, a quality controller oversees every stage of the production during the entire build process and every imperfection is dealt with immediately (see the video below in “construction” section). That was very impressive and set our minds at ease. We highly recommend doing a factory tour in La Rochelle. Not only is it very exciting to see your boat being manufactured, but the city of La Rochelle is a gourgeous old walled coastal city situated in the southwest part of France (AND the French food and wine is exquisite)! See a live cam of Port de Plaisance in LaRochelle, France.

How Did The Lagoon 450S Catamaran Measure Up?

So, on the surface we liked the Lagoon 450S. BUT, did it pass the test for our purposes as live-aboards with a penchant for sailing long ocean passages?

Lagoon 450S Sailing Ability  

As I said before, over 500 Lagoon 450 Flybridge versions were produced. So this model has already proven itself to be a good ocean cruiser in various ocean crossings and rallies like the ARC Rally . Bearing in mind that the 450S is not a performance catamaran, we were pleasantly surprised with her performance under all conditions. Period. Doing a 200+ NM sailing day is very important to us. We often sail long distances and we wanted to be able to make good progress every day and to out-run bad weather if possible. It was a goal that we easily achieved on our delivery from Guadeloupe and subsequently on other passages.

Lowered Boom: We really liked that the boom on the SporTop is substantially lower than the Flybridge version (28 inches), with a mast height of 74 ft. The lower boom brings the center of gravity down lower and reduces inertia in the rig. That, coupled with the increased bouyancy forward created by the chines on the inside of the bowsand the sail plan, increases performance and eliminates hobby horsing, making it a faster and much more stable and comfortable ride, despite the maximum volume and very high freeboard.

Nimble In Light Conditions: During our delivery from Guadeloupe the boat sailed very well on all points of sail and did well even in very light winds which was a pleasant surprise. She easily sails at 50% of apparent wind speed. Generally, most boats will sail well in strong winds, but it is the light wind performance that defines whether the boat is a good sailor or not and the 450S is very nimble in light conditions in part because of the enormous 872sqft of square-headed fully battened mainsail.

Good Performance: She also displayed good upwind ability on a close reach and tracked really well. On a reach and beam reach, the favorite point of sail for a cat, our Lagoon sails like a dream. We often sailed in double digits without too much trouble. As an example; we sailed 41NM in 4 hours in 18-20 knots between Turks and Caicos and Georgetown in the Exumas on a beam reach in 6-8ft seas with little or no slamming. That is an easy 10.25Knots per hour – not a rocket ship to be sure, but certainly very respectable.

Squally Conditions: During our trip in the Gulf-stream going north, we were caught in several squalls. Conditions were deplorable with 10-12ft waves and had wind speeds of up to 38 knots. We were able to luff up the main and reef down in no time, which was easily done from the safety of the cockpit. Luffing up is the best course of action when you’re temporarily overpowered. It reduces the speed and helps keep the boat under control. Once we had the reefs in, we bore away and ran with the wind. The boat was moving at around 12 knots with 38 knots of true wind from astern. By running or doing a very broad reach we managed to reduce the apparent wind speed on the rig to around a manageable 26 Knots until the squall blew through and we could resume our course. Video of our trip in the Gulf-stream

Genoa / Self-tacking jib: We have a full Genoa instead of a self-tacking jib. While the self-tacking jib is a nice feature for short-handed sailing, the sail is small for anything but a close or beam reach. Another reason why we opted for the conventional genoa setup, is that if a jib sheet parts, it is easy to use the lazy sheet to control the jib while replacing the damaged sheet. If the sheet parts on a self-tacking jib, which has only one sheet, there are all sorts of problems and you have no choice but to furl the sail if you can.

Sailing upwind: It is commonly believed that a catamaran cannot point as high as a monohull unless it has daggerboards. That is not exactly accurate. Generally most catamarans point as high as cruising monohulls but make more leeway because they have less lateral resistance although, catamarans with daggerboards do point higher than ones with fixed keels. However, if you fall off the wind 5 – 10 degrees, its boat speed will be higher than an equivalent monohull and maintain a faster VMG upwind. In fact, Dennis Connor’s 1988 America’s Cup victory on ‘Stars and Stripes’ in San Diego over KZ-1, the world’s most radical 90ft. monohulls, bears this out. 

Sail changes: Stephen and I did several sail changes on delivery, including hoisting the spinnaker. It was easy enough to do. All the lines come back to the cockpit and quite frankly, even as big as this rig is, it was not very difficult to handle the sail changes single handedly. The single line reefing makes it really easy to reef quickly. We learned how easy it was to reef at two o’clock in the morning when a massive squall hit us out of nowhere while sailing north in the Gulf-stream from The Abacos in the Bahamas to Norfolk.

We have a pad eye on each bow and attach the tack of the sail to the windward bow using a snatch block and a line back to the forward cleat (the reason for this is that if you get into a situation it is easy to release the cleat line and let the tack fly free, you can then recover the sail using the sheet by pulling it down behind the main).

The head is hoisted using the spinnaker halyard and the clew is attached to a sheet that runs outside of everything to a block on the leeward side stern and then to a winch for trim control. To get the best performance out of the Asymmetrical, you should ease the sheet until the luff of the sail starts to collapse and then sheet in a bit. Ideally you should see a periodic flapping/collapsing of the leading edge of the sail but only about a foot or so. Be mindful not to sail with the Asymmetrical sheeted in too tight; it will not perform to its optimum.

To conclude, we have few complaints about the sailing ability of the Lagoon 450S!

Sailing Ability

The mainsail is a little sluggish in coming down. Intermediate cars would have made all the difference. The distance between the cars on the sail is around 10-12 feet. When the sail drops, having this much distance between the cars, makes the sail billow out and prevents the sail from coming down fast. It’s an easy fix though.

Sailing Ability: What The Experts Say  

« 19 days! Maybe not a “Route du Rhum” time, but nevertheless a very creditable performance for a voyage from La Rochelle to Pointe à Pitre (3477 miles) in a strictly standard Lagoon 450.” »Jean-François Tanguy, professional skipper – February 2011

« The 450 rewarded us with pleasant, lively behaviour in the light to moderate conditions; it jogged along with a spring in its step… » Phillippe Echelle, Multihulls World 2011

« The sailplan gives the boat enough power to remain fast and dynamic in a wind of less than 10 knots. » Multicoques magazine, FR / Multihulls World, UK-January 2011

Construction

This boat is well constructed. Even as we pushed the boat with as much power as the conditions allowed, we did not notice excessive creaking or shuddering. We had some VERY picky crew members on board. They inspected every corner of the boat but could not find much fault. Every inch of the boat is well finished, even in the darkest corners. When we did the factory tour, we noticed that every stage of the build was inspected for quality along the way, and you can tell from looking at the finished product.

Vacuum Infusion: What impressed Stephen (the more technical member of our team) is that the hulls are vacuum infused, ensuring the optimum laminate/resin ratio which reduces weight significantly. As we know, weight is a killer for catamarans and less weight allows for more volume; Good or bad, I don’t know. But what I do know, is that in spite of the much talked about heavy “condomarans”, this boat sailed very well and is comfortable in all conditions.

Solid construction: The other things that made an impression on Stephen is that the rudder tube is composite and laminated into a solid section of the hull towards the stern instead of on the join (which would have been the easy thing to do). The chain plates are well bedded onto a section of very heavy duty solid laminate which transfers the load into the hull section. All equipment fitted on the deck, such as the cleats, have substantial backing plates for strength (see the picture insert). That is however not the case with all catamaran brands. We have heard of cleats being ripped out of the deck on some cats in strong winds.

Bridgedeck Clearance

The bridgedeck clearance is around 26 inches, which represents 5% of LWL, which is a very respectable ratio. ( Read here about bridgedeck clearance on catamarans ). One of the biggest surprises for us was how quiet the boat was during passages. There was very little slamming even in big steep seas. Now, we all know that catamarans slam under the bridgedeck from time to time. There is no getting away from it but it’s the degree of slamming that makes the difference.

We have been in catamarans where the saloon table literally bounced up and down and the whole boat vibrated from the slamming on the bridgedeck. The Lagoon 450S’s bridgedeck clearance is very good and the transons are well out of the water even fully loaded. The gull-wing shaped tunnel breaks the waves somewhat, which reduces wave impact and therefor slamming. It really is a feature that we were very pleased about since it is crucial for catamaran seaworthiness and crew comfort.

The Semi-Raised Helm Station

Safety: The person on watch in the cockpit can still be social with other crew down in he cockpit or even in the galley. When it’s just the two of us on long passages, ease of social interaction and safety concerns makes a big difference for peace of mind. We are always within easy reach of each other. 

Instrument panel: The instrument panel is awesome! There is a lot of space for instruments on the instrument panel. The engine panels are well positioned on the panel, so you don’t have to bend down to see the engine RPMs. One has good visibility of the sails and all four corners of the catamaran and the engine controls are in a good position even for a shorter person.

The one negative is that I (Estelle) am a little short to stand and see over the coachroof properly, but I have found a vantage point that works for me.

It comes with 170ft of oversized 1/2inch chain (a little overkill but it is great for sleeping soundly at night). The boat easily carries the weight. it’s stowed right in the chest under the mast and we have plenty of buoyancy up forward. We did replace the anchor with a 74-pound Rocna anchor . We keep the other one as our secondary anchor. It would have been nice to have a second bow roller to leave the second anchor in place but because of the way the anchor is situated in the chest, it is not possible. Electrical & Plumbing   The electrical panel is adequate and user-friendly. The system is well protected with breakers at every critical juncture. It has easy access to all wire and technical spaces. Access to the circuit breakers (general and engine) is easy and protected in a housing with a hinged cover at the foot of the berth in the aft cabin. The plumbing is easily accessible everywhere and everything is high quality. Two of the breakers are in very awkward spaces and were hard to find at first. Engine Power & Generator   We chose to upgrade to the 57 HP Yanmar engines with Flexofold props and we’re glad we did. They give us lots of power when we need it. The engine rooms are accessed from the scoops and have a lot of space. There is plenty of space inside the compartment to be able to work on an engine with ease if necessary. There is also a convenient storage shelf over the engine compartment. We use three big storage bins so it’s easy to unpack if necessary. The Cummins 13KW generator in the chest of the boat has great access and is remarkably quiet. We replaced the manufacturer’s fuel filter units fitted by the factory with two Racor 500’s. The manufacturer’s units were just too complicated. Stephen likes to be able to change the Racor filter cartridges quickly in the event of a blocked filter and the Racor filters, which he knows well, do the job best. Under engine we do a comfortable 7.5 knots at 2,500 rpm & 8.9 at 3,200; both cruising speed and top speed are satisfactory. Scoops / Aft Boarding Steps   The steps in the “scoops” are a little steep and the bottom step is not deep enough. This is a big negative for fishermen!! On our Island Spirit the scoops were huge, wide and shallow. It’s a great place to land the fish and then immediately cut up and clean it. Because of the size of the scoops, it is safe and has plenty of space to work even in big sea. Not so on the Lagoon 450S. We will probably rig a fishing table on the stern. Even so, the steps are easy to board from a dinghy and providea nice swim platform. On the positive side the high steps and angle are great to reduce noise when underway which, believe it or not is quite loud. The other advantage of the scoops on the L450 is that when you have big seas from astern the boat remains dry and it is very unlikely that you will be pooped. Dinghy Davits   They are sturdy and easy to operate. They are rated at 450-pounds per side and easily accommodate our Walkerbay 12ft deluxe super tender and Honda 20HP outboard engine. We had our dinghy and the engine hauled up and secured during passages and even with big seas the dinghy stayed steady and in place. The dinghy is fitted with a bridle and is easy to hoist. We have an electric winch right at the base of the davits and is easy to handle. Boat Owner Manuals The owner manuals are fantastic. It is very precise with pictures to show the various systems, plumbing, electrics, etc., both in English and in French. The English version is not a “direct” translation from French, so you don’t have to guess what they are trying to convey. Each individual piece of equipment on board has a user manual and separate warranties. Overall, we are very satisfied with our choice of catamaran. We fitted a rub rail with stainless insert, a satellite TV, Iridium, and some other equipment after market. But we pretty much had a finished boat when we accepted delivery. In general, the quality of the important equipment from the factory is good and you can see that this is a fully evolved product. All warranty issues (we only had a couple of things) were dealt with promptly. If we were building the boat ourselves, it would be tough to do much better. This Lagoon 450S is a really good, comfortable live-aboard blue-water cruiser. Our biggest pleasant surprise is her sailing ability and comfort at sea.

I look forward to part 2. I also look forward to you getting a better video camera, 🙂 Best of Luck. Very nice review, I can’t wait for part two. The audio was a bit rough due to the wind noise picked up by mic, but I’d rather have that than no video at all! Having been a monohull purist for a long time, I’ve only sailed Lagoon cats, and although I’ve loved the 38, 40 & 42s I’ve chartered, the 2014 39 we had going from St. Vincent to Grenada over 2 weeks this Spring was a dog. It was the slowest, most difficult and uncontrollable sailboat I’ve ever skippered. I learned from the captain we handed her over to at the end of the trip that they have a bad reputation, which had me concerned about other, newer Lagoons. So I was thrilled to read that you’re so happy with your 450S. Thanks for the great review and I’ll be looking for a 450S for our next charter. Thanks for the great summary Did you compare performance, internal room against Leopard 44? No max displacement number. What cruiser doesn’t want to know that? Monohull owner here. I have spoken with a few lagoon 45 owners. I have been invited on board a couple different year ones. Their boats are all newer 2015 and up. Why are they all experiencing bulkhead de-lamination ? If l am not mistaken, 2010 was the first year for the lagoon 450. To date well over 1,000 hulls have been built. Lagoon is well aware of this problem. What year did the hull problems begin ? What year did lagoon correct the problem ? What have they done to remedy this default in manufacturing ? Not meaning to insult you. But your review reads like an advertisement for Lagoon. I thought your job is to be unbiassed. You did not find one fault. That tells me you are not a trustworthy person. Your job means more to you than your integrity. That makes you a boat salesperson, not a boat review person. Hi Matthew (monohull owner) MY ANSWERS IN BLUE CAPS Not meaning to insult you. YOU JUST DID. WITHOUT GETTING ANY CONTEXT AT ALL AND YOU CERTAINLY DON’T KNOW US. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE DO. IF YOU DID, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WE DON’T PROMOTE ONE BRAND OVER ANOTHER. THIS REVIEW WAS DONE IN 2016 WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR BOAT (HULL #5). I STRESS “PURCHASED” BECAUSE WE DID NOT GET SPONSORED AND WE DID NOT GET IT FOR FREE. WE BOUGHT THE BOAT OUT RIGHT BECAUSE WE BELIEVED THAT IT WAS, AT THE TIME, THE BEST BOAT FOR US. WE STILL HAPPEN TO LOVE THE BOAT AND ONCE THE BULKHEAD ISSUES ARE TAKEN CARE OF, IT IS STILL A VERY DESIRABLE BOAT. WE SOLD OUR BOAT (LAST YEAR WHEN WE UPGRADED) TO CLOSE FRIENDS OF OURS WHO LIVE IN THE SAME MARINA AS WE DO AND THEY NOW LOVE THE BOAT AS MUCH AS WE DID. But your review reads like an advertisement for Lagoon. WE HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH LAGOON WHATSOEVER. WE ARE FREE TO SELL ANY BOAT WE WANT TO, INCL. FOUNTAINE PAJOT, NAUTITECH, BALI, LEOPARD, XQUISITE ETC. (ALL OF WHICH HAVE THEIR OWN SETS OF ISSUES). SO, WE ARE NOT IN THE TANK FOR ONE PARTICULAR BRAND AT ALL. I thought your job is to be unbiassed. You did not find one fault. YOU MUST HAVE MISSED OUR NEGATIVES ON THE BOAT IN THIS POST. THERE ARE SEVERAL NEGATIVES THAT WE POINTED OUT. WE DID THE REVIEW AND IT WAS OUR OPINION AT THE TIME. YOU ARE FREE TO TAKE FROM IT WHAT YOU WILL. That tells me you are not a trustworthy person. Your job means more to you than your integrity. That makes you a boat salesperson, not a boat review person. WHILE YOU SAY YOU DON’T WANT TO BE INSULTING, YOU ARE MAKING PRETTY STRONG AND INSULTING ACCUSATIONS BUT THEN, THIS IS WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA ALLOWS. WE DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND CANNOT HAVE A FACE TO FACE WITH YOU. I have spoken with a few lagoon 45 owners. I have been invited on board a couple different year ones. Their boats are all newer 2015 and up. Why are they all experiencing bulkhead de-lamination ? If l am not mistaken, 2010 was the first year for the lagoon 450. To date well over 1,000 hulls have been built. Lagoon is well aware of this problem. What year did the hull problems begin? What year did lagoon correct the problem? What have they done to remedy this default in manufacturing? REGARDING THE BULKHEAD ISSUE: THIS CAME TO LIGHT TOWARDS THE END OF LAST YEAR (YEARS AFTER THIS POST WAS WRITTEN) WHEN A CRUISER DISCOVERED THE ISSUE AND MADE OTHERS AWARE OF IT. WE HAVE NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND LAGOON HAS CERTAINLY NEVER SHARED THIS WITH US PRIOR. NOR WOULD THEY, AS WE HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THEM. WE, LIKE THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY ARE WATING TO HEAR THE OUTCOME OF THIS ISSUE FROM LAGOON. PLEASE DIRECT ALL YOUR QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO LAGOON WHO ARE MOST QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. AS YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA IS ABUZZ REGARDING THIS SUBJECT AND YOU WILL GET VARYING OPINIONS FROM ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED. WE RECOMMEND TO OUR CLIENTS AND EVERY LAGOON OWNER TO LODGE THEIR CLAIMS WITH LAGOON. I BELIEVE THAT THE FACEBOOK GROUP HAS PUT OUT A BULLETIN ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS.

Sailing Blogs List Your Catamaran For Charter List Your Catamaran For Sale The Lagoon 42 is the French yard’s top seller and that is because it hits that sweet spot for many buyers. It’s big enough to live aboard very comfortably while not feeling too big to handle for a couple. This review will cover the main Pros and Cons of this model and some of the options we think you should go for. First Came the 420.. This VPLP design replaced the 420 and the 421 which were pretty big sellers for Lagoon (170 or so), so it had some pretty big shoes to fill. Read our Lagoon 410 review to get an idea how things have moved on since the 2nd Generation boats. In common with her other fourth generation sisters (the 40, 46 and so on), the 42 has a curvier look than her predecessors. It’s a design that has evolved from the third generation models like the Lagoon 400 (another top seller) and the 450. She’s solid and looks like she could handle a big sea. And then you have those trademark vertical windows in the saloon that maximise the living space and help keep the sun out of the saloon. You are not going to be sailing as fast as a C-Cat 48 , but that’s not the point of the Lagoon 42. It’s a great sailing/comfort package. Photos credit: Nicolas Claris, Lagoon.

Browse our extensive list of Lagoon 42s’s for rent below ⇓ Find a well maintained, high quality Lagoon 42 for charter with Katamarans. Living space. If you are looking to max out your living space per metre of length, then a Lagoon is always going to score highly and the 42 is no exception with a high beam to length ratio. You’ll notice the difference down below, especially. You can see from the side profile shot how far the coachroof extends forwards. That means a big comfy saloon. The shower in the owner’s version is huge. The life raft is held in a dedicated open recess on the transom of the boat and can be easily deployed whatever the orientation of the boat. Protected helm. The bulkhead helm is well connected to the cockpit and is well protected with a sturdy dodger. It´s a position that has proved popular with buyers. It is open to the sea though (see cons below). Although the boom is higher than some of the 42’s competitors, it is lower than a flybridge cat and pretty easy to access- a good compromise All the lines lead to the helm which sits to port on the main bulkhead. This make it an easy boat to sail short handed – the coach roof is just a short hop away. There’s a nice big nav station to starboard in the saloon at the end of the sofa. Resale. Although Lagoon sell a lot of boats, the demand for them is also high on the second hand market as they are a popular brand. If you look after your 42, she should fetch a decent price later. This is a heavy boat, so you will need to put some money in your sail locker to power it. Off the wind, you can call these boats nippy (it’s a catamaran after all), but you won’t be setting any speed records closer to the wind, particular in lighter conditions. Make sure the square top mainsail is at the top of your options list. A code 0 would be nice too. Lack of hand-grabs on the coachroof. We’d have liked to have seen hand rails here to improve safety going forward. There is a channel that runs along the coach roof to grab, but if its aesthetics vs safety, we choose safety. Visibility from the helm. If you stand on tiptoes, and duck and dive a bit, you can just about see all 4 corners of the boat from the bulkhead main. It is easier for taller people. That helm seat is pretty low, you might want to buy an extra cushion! Also, the helm is pretty open to port. On the one hand this makes it easy to nip around, but it feels exposed at sea and would worry me on longer night passages. Because of the bulkhead main, there is less room in the aft cockpit than other “open” designs. It is hardly cramped though. Ventilation in the saloon. There are no overhead hatches, only 2 forward opening windows. With the mast stepped back, you have a pole in the saloon breaking up the space. On the other hand, it’s something to grab onto if the weather turns. You might find yourself doing a bit of impromptu pole dancing if the waves get up. The edge of the coach roof can get slippy.

This is great for reefing and makes things fairly fast and easy. My issue is that every time I drop the main I have 10 foot loops of reefing line hanging off the end of the boom. I usually go tidy things up and stuff the lines back into the sail bag, but every once in a while they get tangled and then the next day when I raise the main I'm spending time with the main 1/2 way up with me trying to untangle the reefing lines. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't think pulling in all the reefing lines every time the main comes down is a good idea. Seems like a lot of friction and wear for nothing, and I'm not sure I could get it all in as fast as the main drops and don't want to take longer. Maybe just pull the leech slack in from the gooseneck and have the slack there? Again, looking for any suggestions to just make this easier. Thanks. 22-04-2022, 11:34   Boat: Lagoon 380 , but ends up tidy. . As an option, reef using a short tack and a out haul line?? How often do u reef? 22-04-2022, 12:08   Boat: Bavaria 36 22-04-2022, 15:55   22-04-2022, 16:00   Boat: Columbia 50 , and wrap the reefing loops around the sail like sail ties. Then the cover goes over all. Matt 22-04-2022, 18:01   Boat: 1962 Columbia 29 MK 1 #37 line reefing and I had it for a while on my curent . I agree with kiwin, get comfortable with pulling them all in once the main is down. Having lines dangling is not a good idea IMO. Dropping them loosely in a stack pack would probably be ok but I don’t understand the benefit of wrapping them around boom. I understand the friction added, but I would not worry a bit about possible added chafe, unless you have some bad leads or blocks there somewhere. As far as the tangling, I’m not sure about that one; the lines should be in the bag In a way that they can feed out quickly. Having lots of line to deal with is just part of single line reefing. You might consider only using the single line for the two deeper to cut down on the bulk. With a stability and room to , I would think old fashioned slab reefing would be ok if not preferable, if the single lines get to be a hassle. 22-04-2022, 21:56   Boat: C&C 27 Mk III 23-04-2022, 02:04   Boat: Lagoon 400 . Just remember that these must be free when rausin . It will be more of an effort to raise the sail due to the extra friction. 2. Just take the dangling tails and throw back into the lazy pack before you close it. This may be difficult on where the end of the boom is out of easy reach. 23-04-2022, 05:38   Boat: EDELCAT33 or it the end of the boom? I am sure you have a stat pack or similar so the extra lines should fall inside the bag. I am not clear why would you have lines coming down from the boom in the cockpit. Do you a picture? 23-04-2022, 05:46   Boat: 1992 lagoon 42 tpi 42. Part of the problem is that with a (very) roachy main sail, the reef points are all pretty far aft so the lines fall off the back. After dropping the sail I go aft and tuck the lines in the stack pack on top of the sail. Once zipped up, they stay in well and they don't tangle when we raise sail. 23-04-2022, 05:50   Boat: Lagoon 380 group did a utube on just single line reefing on a Lagoon cat. It did look suspiciously easy. One trick tho, is marking the lines with sharpie to indicate proper position relative the line . 23-04-2022, 05:58   23-04-2022, 06:06   Boat: PDQ Altair, 32/34 . 24-04-2022, 03:31   Boat: Westerly Konsort 29' with 3 mainsail reefs, each with a separate line at tack and clew. These 6 lines are led back to the cockpit along with kicking strap (boom vang) and mainsail . It takes me about a minute to reef (longer to tidy the lines) and usually longer to un-reef (to sort out any twists in the reefing lines which occasionally cause snags in the clutches). When reefed the reefing lines are stowed on the coast roof under the sprayhood (dodger). Obviously the clutches are all labelled. 3 clews lines to one side of the and 3 tack lines to the other side. The system works brilliantly for me. 25-04-2022, 07:40   Boat: Lagoon 46 / Searay Sundancer 350 and they are blown aft). On our boat, the boom is above the soft , so I can barely touch the boom when standing on the top of the cockpit roof, and the end of the boom extends past the roof, so my only way to stow the lines is with some fancy wrist work and a long boat hook. I can't even drop the boom down unless I take down the first. Eventually, I'll get a hard bimini and I can then stand up next to the boom. I think I'll play with pulling in the slack for the leech reefing points at the gooseneck but not pull in the slack from the luff reefing points as that is neatly in the bag. Then, when raising the main, the leech reefing lines can play back out. Or, I can expedite getting a hard binini! :-) Again, thanks for all the replies!
