Cruising catamarans are not to everyone’s taste, but the pros and cons versus monohulls are well known. The Lagoon, however, enjoys more sympathetic styling than some of her contemporaries. Beneteau clearly has the financial muscle to indulge in some serious R&D before commissioning a new boat and it shines through in the Lagoon. She has been carefully and thoughtfully put together and represents a refinement and distillation of all its considerable experience in this field.
The helming station was a prime example of this approach, as it delivered most of the benefits of a bridge deck helming station without leaving the helmsman isolated, as is often the case with this arrangement. I was also impressed by the directness and ‘feel’ of the helm, which was a refreshing contrast with many cruising multihulls.
