Equipment
Produced by our Design Offices in Vendée and in Bordeaux, the equipment on board the Lagoons with their choice and setting are not only the result of our designers’ studies and experience but also of our client’s feedback through our network of distributors.
Electric systems
The electric circuits are one of the vital systems on a modern cruising boat. With the help of its state-of-the-art CAD and layout software, Lagoon’s Design Office has created electric circuits where quality, reliability, ease of access and maintenance, lightness and security are paramount criteria.
Security is a major consideration, so the entire electrical system used on the Lagoon catamarans is strictly compliant to the CE standards.
The quality of the cables, which are screened and laid in their own conducts and coded, the easy access to the distribution panels, are all essential elements to guarantee the Lagoons are equipped with an electrical system of the highest standard.
Plumbing
Lagoon takes particular care with the installation and the layout of the various plumbing circuits required on a cruising boat: freshwater distribution circuit, sea water supply, grey and black water system.
Again, the 3D design and layout software used by Lagoon’s design office allows for the perfect integration of the circuits in the general layout of the boat.
The use of materials like high pressure PVC tubing, rubber flexible pipes, S/S valves, seacocks and connections results in an installation, which will not be adversely affected by the seawater environment in which it functions.
Refrigeration
For security reasons, the conservation of foodstuff is essential. Lagoon has studied the question of cold storage system of its boats in depth.
No cruise can be enjoyed without an efficient refrigeration system.
Lagoon’s and the Bénéteau group’s long experience has enabled them to come to an ideal solution with:
• The best insulation possible given the available volume
• The lowest electrical consumption
• Reliable compressors
• System efficiency
• Easy maintenance
• The excellent quality of the materials (S/S, etc.)
• The choice of widely distributed brands of equipment.
Deck gear, rigging
Experience acquired in racing has enabled Lagoon to choose nothing but the best deck gear and rigging: Harken, Lewmar.
The stresses on the rig of a catamaran are about ten times that of a monohull. This explains the care we take to select high quality equipment.
Lagoon has had a good working relationship for many years with suppliers renowned all over the world, the best in their sector: Z Spars, Sparcraft, Maréchal.
The deck plan design, the choice of materials and the calculation of stresses is a precise work undertaken together by our architects, suppliers and the Lagoon design office.
Each material has been subjected to extensive tests designed to select the most reliable, efficient and durable equipment.
These tests take place in the aging chamber in marine mist of the Bénéteau group laboratory as well as at sea on racing boats.
