What this video covers
The 2024 Lagoon 43 replaces the Lagoon 42, introducing a redesigned hull, deck layout, and interior configuration.▶ 0:28 While the overall dimensions remain similar—12.82 meters long with a 7.69-meter beam—the Lagoon 43 features high-volume, flared bows designed to improve buoyancy and reduce slamming in head seas.▶ 0:03 The hull incorporates a "redan" step near the waterline to maintain a narrow entry for smoother wave penetration.▶ 1:40 The cockpit and salon are integrated through a modular sliding door system and a flexible table arrangement.▶ 3:41 The galley now faces forward toward the bow, prioritizing volume and storage over the overhead lockers found on the previous model.▶ 5:35 In the four-cabin version, the owner’s suite features a forward-facing bed and a large aft head, while guest cabins include island beds and separate shower stalls.▶ 8:07 The helm station is elevated for better protection, though it requires a step for shorter skippers to maintain visibility.▶ 17:10 Performance in 20–25 knot winds and heavy seas shows the catamaran handles well on a reach, though it requires careful management of the square-top mainsail and low-slung boom.▶ 15:08
