What this video covers
A couple currently living on a 41-foot monohull in Banderas Bay, Mexico, evaluates a Lagoon 450 catamaran for potential purchase.Watch They seek more space for remote work, Starlink equipment, and surfboard storage, as well as increased stability to reduce rolling in anchorages.1:41 Accompanied by experienced Lagoon 450 owners from the channel Parlay Revival, they inspect the vessel for common structural issues, specifically checking for bulkhead deflection near the mast and engine room.4:57 The inspection reveals approximately 25mm of deflection in the aft deck, a known design flaw in certain model years.6:11 Despite the need for structural repairs, the boat’s overall condition is too pristine to allow for the significant price reduction the couple requires, as the sellers have already declined a $400,000 offer.8:39 A subsequent day sail confirms the catamaran’s speed and stability, but the couple decides to remain on their monohull, citing a preference for the tactile sensation of heeling under sail.15:44
