What this video covers

The Lagoon 38 catamaran, designed by VPLP with interiors by Nauta Design, features a mezzanine helm station positioned between the cockpit and coachroof to facilitate single-handed manoeuvring and docking.2:16 The vessel utilises an infusion-moulded hull construction and incorporates a flared hull design above the waterline, which significantly increases interior volume in the forward cabins compared to the previous Lagoon 40.12:46 The layout includes a three-cabin owner’s version with a dedicated master hull and a guest hull featuring two cabins with separate shower stalls.12:14 The cockpit and saloon integrate into a single living space via a modular door system, while technical storage in the bow accommodates a generator and auxiliary water tanks.7:30 During sea trials in 19 knots of apparent wind, the boat maintained 7.5 knots on a beam reach.14:31 Under power, the vessel reached 8.3 knots.15:39 While the helm station offers excellent visibility, the primary electric winch for halyards and sheets appears slightly undersized for the rig.15:48
