Composite

Composite material

- The sandwich core in balsa offers better mechanical (excellent resistance to compression) and chemical (more stability over time) properties.

- The construction by infusion: not only offers the optimal proportion of resin in the fibreglass (comparable to that of the pre-impregnated building technique), but the quality of the bonding between the composite materials and the isolation of each balsa square by mechanical ties between the inner and outer skins improves the quality and reliability of the structure, while providing an appreciable gain of weight.

- The systematic use of a very high quality anti-osmotic resin on all the Lagoons is a guarantee of durability.

- Buoyancy is also a guarantee of security. All Lagoon catamarans comply with the CE standards for the unsinkability of multihulls. The forward and aft compartments of each hull are separated from the living quarters of the yachts by watertight bulkheads. The density of the materials used and the absence of ballast enhance the unsinkable characteristics of the boat. Even after an impact, you can carry on sailing with your Lagoon.

Lagoons built by infusion technique
• Lagoon 420: hulls and bridgedeck
• Lagoon 500: hulls, bridgedeck and deck
• Lagoon 570: hulls, bridgedeck, deck and structural bulkheads
• Lagoon 67: hulls, bridgedeck, deck and structural bulkheads

What makes the difference

• The sandwich core in balsa offers better mechanical (excellent resistance to compression) and chemical (more stability over time) properties.

• The construction by infusion: not only offers the optimal proportion of resin in the fibreglass (comparable to that of the pre-impregnated building technique), but the quality of the bonding between the composite materials and the isolation of each balsa square by mechanical ties between the inner and outer skins improves the quality and reliability of the structure, while providing an appreciable gain of weight.

• The anti-osmosis barrier systematically created by the use of vinylester type resin on all the Lagoons is a guarantee of durability.

• Buoyancy is also a guarantee of security. All Lagoon catamarans comply with the CE standards for the unsinkability of multihulls. The forward and aft compartments of each hull are separated from the living quarters of the yachts by watertight bulkheads. The density of the materials used and the absence of ballast enhance the unsinkable characteristics of the boat. Even after an impact, you can carry on sailing with your Lagoon.

• The vertical windows of the deck cabin offer many advantages:
- More protection against the sun: it is cooler in the saloon
- More volume inside the boat without encroaching on the exterior
- Higher headroom
- Better visibility to the outside world
- Timeless design

• The wide hulls offer more volume in the cabins with larger floor space.

• The volume of the hulls allows us to fit double beds even on the Lagoon 380.

• Steering cables (same as on racing boats) and trapezoidal rudders offer a precise control, an excellent performance and a very responsive helm.

• Helm stations have been designed for comfort and ease of manoeuvring.

• The saloon and cockpit spaces are well proportioned and the ease of access from one to the other is typical of the layout on Lagoons and always appreciated by their clients.

• The living areas on Lagoon catamarans are comparable to those of monohulls30 to 40 % longer.
