Whichever version is chosen, the saloon is well lit and includes an L shaped galley with ample storage space, a large work surface and direct access to the aft cockpit. It is a user-friendly boat with all controls brought back to a unique helm station. The genacker bowsprit and the mooring gear are fitted to a central fore and aft beam. It features a standard hardtop bimini with optional panels to enclose the cockpit completely.

With a tall rig, a gull wing shape bridge deck and an overlapping genoa this is buy far the fastest roomiest catamaran we have designed. Powered as standard with two 8 kw electric motors and an 11KVA/220V or 13.5KVA/110V generator.

Complete installation comprises of two electric motors connected to propellers by straight shaft transmissions, one generator and two set of 6 batteries. When batteries are 100 % charged, the boat will be able to function with both motors for approximately two hours (depending on speed). When batteries are 80 % charged, the generator will automatically start and charge the batteries in order to provide electricity for the motors. When sailing, propellers will recharge the batteries.

Benefits

• A modern, forward-looking solution;
• A clean and green system: low fuel consumption, little carbon dioxide emission;
• Runs in silence;
• Only one diesel engine to maintain;
• Electric motors are maintenance free;
• Energy savings: the generator provides electricity for the motors, the batteries and the daily boat needs (air conditioning, power outlets, washer/dryer, etc.).

The first L420 to arrive in North America, sold by myself, will arrive in Annapolis sometime in September. This will give you the opportunity to view this magnificent vessel before she makes her appearance at the 2006 Annapolis Sail Boat Show. For more information on Lagoon Catamarans, contact:
