LAGOON 420 HYBRID OFF THE BEATEN TRACK, DELIBERATELY.

The 420 marks the end of the long, slim hulls, demanding aerodynamics, narrow cabin roofs, spartan living conditions, power and speed, and welcomes in comfort, ease of manoeuvring, and above all fabulous living spaces. The 420 no longer flatters sporting fantasies and offers hedonists a comfortable cruising boat with no concessions to performance. It does away with two engines out of three and retains a sturdy generator, responsible for diesel-electric propulsion and production of abundant energy for this very welcoming platform. The sail plan illustrates the same philosophy: taking advantage of the wind, from a close to a broad reach, neglecting the sacrifices imposed by sailing close hauled or in a flat calm, which few people appreciate.
