The hybrid 420 design from Lagoon is a bold statement about its future of sailboat auxiliary propulsion. A generator situated in a bridgedeck compartment calls the shots with regards to all electrical needs – both propulsion and DC house and 110 V Ac for Air Conditioning and household appliances.

No diesels are under the aft beds. When motoring, the sensation of silent power is striking, and acceleration is instant. Under on 8-kilowat motor, the Lagoon 420 quickly reaches six knots and the only sound comes from the swirl of the prop.

In short, this system is an absolute dream for owners: it's clean, quiet, it should increase the distance a boat like this can travel before a trip to the filling dock!
