A mini-maxi, "avant-garde" catamaran with sleek and innovative design

With her new visual identity, the 40 immediately stands out. While faithful to the image of Lagoon’s "DNA", a new style is born: an individual, streamlined and accomplished design depicts her large portholes and panoramic view. This creates a refined and high-performance unit, emphasized by the chamfer running from the bow to the stern. A new generation Lagoon, recognizable at first sight.

Exterior: space and comfort

• A comfortable cockpit looking out to sea: a starboard dining table, able to accommodate up to twelve guests, a recreation area on the same side, and seating at the rear beam
• An ergonomic helm station is accessible from the cockpit or deck, thus enabling communication between the skipper and crew at all times. Large aft transoms with a spacious swim platform, allowing simple access to the tender and safe, easy boarding
• A forward cockpit, fitted with a sunbathing area, provides further living space

New generation rigging: performance and simplicity

A symbol of the new generation of Lagoons, the 40 is endowed with advanced performance features: a VPLP hull structure and an increased sail area provide a better sail surface area/displacement ratio. The decision to position the mast step further aft, which stems directly from VPLP's experience in competitive sailing, provides this catamaran with multiple advantages:

• A self-tacking jib for simplified maneuvers
• A large forward triangle for a wider choice of downwind sails: a guarantee of performance
• A shorter boom for ease of maneuvering

A main sail, with a high aspect ratio, enables the capture of better airflow in the upper parts of the sail for optimized performance.

• The re-centering of weight, thanks to aft positioning of rigging, considerably reduces pitching

Interior: elegance and luminosity

A selection of luxurious materials, by Nauta Design, enhances the new interior lines.

• A wide choice of accommodation layouts to meet the needs of owners and large families: available in three or four cabins

A new aft cabin, fitted with a « semi Island bed » berth and multiple storage spaces.

• Large hull window glazing with integrated portholes in the cabin provides exceptional natural light and an outstanding view
• Particular attention is given to volume layout, smooth flow of circulation, and luminosity making this new interior a truly pleasant living area
