Cruising World BOTY Winner:
The
Lagoon 400 potential owners said they want cruising-cat
accommodations to be closer to those you have in your house,
and the designers delivered just that. As a result, the
400's hulls are wide, and they have the freeboard required
to contain truly spacious living spaces—and generous
bridgedeck clearance—in a 40-foot package. During their
dockside visit, the judges found the design team of Marc Van
Peteghem/Vincent Lauriot Prévost made no attempt to mask the
height of the hulls with steps in the hull or deck. As a
result, the boat had the most radical look of all the cats
we tested. Still, we found that the deck is wide, flat, and
easy to navigate and that the living space within was indeed
impressive.
