Lagoon 60

A palace puts to sea…

Lagoon, the world leader in cruising multihulls, hadn’t spent all its ammo during the euphoria that gripped the post-Covid market; rather, it’s now that the going is tougher that the manufacturer is pulling out all the stops with no less than two new sailing catamarans, the 43 and the 60, which will be presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival. It was the larger of the two catamarans, now the flagship of the “standard” range, that we got the chance to discover in the crystal-clear waters off the northern end of Menorca.

The Lagon 60 is a truly comfortable blue water catamaran. Thanks to its high- performance hulls and powerful sail plan, it performs admirably in almost all wind conditions.

8 knots on the GPS with 8 knots of true wind: loving the gennaker!

The cutter rig features a staysail and a genoa on station - plus a code 0. The square-topped mainsail is an option that boosts the sail plan and makes the Lagoon 60 more lively once under way.

Replacing the former “first in class” model was never going to be an easy task. In this case, it would be the shadow of the 620 hanging over the 60. 169 units were sold of the larger Lagoon (before the Premium models), and it was a great success; the aim of the all-new 60 is to follow in the footsteps of this best-seller!
Back in March in Bordeaux, where all Lagoon yachts over 50 feet are built, we were able to see for ourselves at the very first presentation of the Lagoon 60 how all the key points of the 620 had been taken up and, of course, optimized to meet today’s requirements. We were also able to observe a number of innovations... which we were finally able to try out in real life.
Brand manager Thomas Gailly and product developer Bruno Belmont welcomed us to Fornells Bay, Menorca. It’s not as easy to get to as the neighboring island of Mallorca, and the north-facing position doesn’t enjoy the sane favorable thermal wind regime found off Palma... But none of that mattered: there we were, in conditions very close to those of proper cruising: the Lagoon 60 was actually anchored here,...
