Lagoon 421

The same but better!

Here is the revised and corrected version of the 420. With its less bulky lines and more hydro-dynamically efficient hulls, the 421 should make a name for itself as one of the most widely-distributed catamarans on the market.

Thanks to a new rigid bimini design which now extends the coachroof, the Lagoon 421 is clearly easier on the eye than its predecessor.

The mainsheet track is fixed to the bimini, so the cockpit can be 100% dedicated to relaxation. Apart from the davits, there are no fittings aft of the coachroof: children will appreciate it!

The nacelle enjoys generous lighting, thanks to the large ‘windows’. These are vertical and protected by the coachroof extension so as to reduce the greenhouse effect to a minimum.

In short, Lagoon certainly designed, with this model, its most comfort-oriented boat. A daring wager, but one which finally paid off, as 179 Lagoon 420s have been built in three years. But times change, and customers once again appreciate performance under sail and good aesthetic qualities. The Bordeaux-based builder has slightly lowered the hull height and eliminated the rigid bimini perched very high above the cockpit. The sail plan has also been boosted from 97 to 103.4m².

The square-headed mainsail improves performance in light weather. Charter companies will opt for the short mast, which is more reassuring for inexperienced crews

For the moment, the electric motors are finished

The 420 attracted special attention because of its hybrid propulsion, derived from automotive technology. At the beginning of the production, all the models were equipped with it, until the builder returned to the good old diesels. The formula certainly works, but the performance is nothing like that with i...
