What the fleet has seen

The Lagoon 470, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Lagoon 470 is a 14.5-meter fractional sloop catamaran, designed by Van Peteghem, Lauriot Prevost, and Lauriot-Prevost, and built by Lagoon and CNB between 1998 and 2005. It features a twin keel hull, a 7.9-meter beam, a 1.4-meter draft, and displaces 9329 kg. Aboard a 1998 Lagoon 470, The On Deck Channel documented a mast removal for a complete standing and running rigging replacement, with the owner planning DIY upgrades including new LED lighting, a modern wind instrument, a VHF antenna, and radar.2:08 Riggers emphasized labeling all standing rigging wires for accurate reproduction, inspecting sheaves, cleaning ball-bearing mainsail cars, and applying Tef-Gel to stainless steel fasteners to prevent corrosion.8:18 They also recommended replacing internal wiring with tinned marine-grade cable and keeping it within the mast conduit to prevent slapping.14:31
