It’s been six years since Lagoon launched a range of sailing yachts (and its powercat variants). The SIXTY 5, with its 67’5” (20.55 m) overall length, now coexists with the SEVENTY 7, which is almost 10 feet (3 m) longer. At the same time, the historic range stopped at the 54’4” (16.56 m) Lagoon 55.
It was therefore only logical for the world’s leading manufacturer of cruising catamarans - 7,000 examples built over the course of almost 40 years - to launch a larger model: the Lagoon 60 was announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Overall, this next model, for which production has just begun, has a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. The first Lagoon 60 is due to be presented at Bordeaux in March 2024. We’ll be there, of course!
