Lagoon 39

Lagoon 39 - Bareboat Catamarans

The Lagoon 39 catamaran is a slightly larger version of the Lagoon 380 which has proved so popular in its 20 years of production and since.

The styling of the latest Lagoon 39 is impressive, made possible by making spaces usable rather than plentiful. The two heads are well appointed with separate shower cubicle away from the toilet, with basin between.. The companionways make good use of hull space, borrowing room from the saloon to provide an impressive amount of storage for a small cat.

This is a well thought-out boat made by the people who know how to build great catamarans. Successive Lagoon models have pushed the mast forward to gain more space in the saloon. Here, the yacht designer has said "enough, let's bring it back to where it should be". Our observation is that this move makes a big difference to performance, for comfort under sail,  and safety, derived from the yacht design science of balancing the centre of opposing forces to propel the boat forward. 

Inside the boat features a light timber oak veneer of appealing colour and grain. While this is real timber, it is reconstituted Italian Poplar grown in sustainable forests. Poplar itself is featureless so the veneers go through a printing process to create the wood look of choice. When bonded and coated with the best glues using the latest technology, a hard wearing surface results that is ideal for marine use. It looks as good as wood, it's produced sustainably, and it's an improvement on traditional timber in servicability. 

The cabins are very well appointed, with room to move and easy access to beds. The aft cabins have slightly larger beds, the forward berths still providing doubles space.
