I know of only one cruising cat to flip and it was a light weight Atlantic 57. I don't think you could flip one of these Lagoons. It would take some serious stupidity. I'd like to try one under a 25' or larger parachute type sea anchor. This Lagoon 620 might need something larger.
I could never figure out when a boat of this price keep sharp edges literally everywhere? Rounded corners, I hate sharp edges, not only do they look bad but they are dangerous.
I love the layout of the Lagoon 620, it allows a large crew, 2 trampolines, multiple dining locations, large cabins, and many more accommodations. Now I need to locate one of these to charter..
Teap just when zombies are walking on earth I am going to have one, If I did I did not know what to do with it... I am a prisoner of the destiny I have Chosen.. I am dead yet alive to tell I am...
your kidding right ?,its calm the boat is not rocking and im sure they can all swim . if there in a dingy I can see wearing one but not on board unless the weather is bad
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Maddux Maximus i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I was going to say,,,,I only saw the dual helm on the upper deck.....but rewinding the video,,I see throttle and shift levers and I'm guessing it's a joy stick steering just to the port side of levers?????? Ya,,,I've been out of boating for many years,,,my life sucks,,,anyone one know the winning lottery numbers for the upcoming draws?
@MyLifeinJapan09 I've been sailing a number of years. Lived on my sailboat 5 of those years while sailing around the world. A close friend flipped his 48 ft. cat in the Tasman Sea and if not for the escape hatch on the hull his wife and crew might have drowned. I guess his PHD makes him one of the idiots you speak of. I'm not getting into a pissing contest but I've "heard" more than two have flipped...ever.
It's wonderful what French nautical design, engineering and manufacturing, throughout the entire product line, has evolved to this degree of pedigree. What's next, a 85 footer? Hmmm, I think red wine is good for you...right?
you know, the chance of me owning such a ship is quite small so why not work as a captain on such ships. my dream job. just cruisin' round beautiful sceneries in the sun, keeping families happy and drink a beer at a bar in the evening collecting beautiful ladies. :P
ok, that is ridiculous...I love it!!! I'm on a Hans Christian 33 mono hull and I just had to tell her I love her and not to worry, but... I'm just saying this is a very nice boat that i would consider owning...don't tell my girl Shush...
this is a Lagoon produced video for the Lagoon 620 so it was probably filmed somewhere along the French coast, either the Atlantic or Med, but not filmed in the Bahamas..
Give me a monohull in bad weather any day. Cats have great initial stability, but they can pitchpole and once they start to go over they are not "self-righting". Trying to tack one of these beasts in light airs can be quite a trick as well.
The design of a catamaran makes them inherently susceptible to flip completely over if it catches wind just right. This has happened many times in the past and dozens of people have drowned trapped inside the boat. Most cats now have an escape hatch installed on the bottom of the hull allowing passengers to save their own ass when the vessel goes tits up.
sailing with the engines on is not fair, looks nice, pls keep me informed 60 feet or so but older, do have big dogs the f, up everything a yacht looks 10 years older in 10 weeks hahhahaha Regards bernard lans
So, what? The next size up is a ship-rigged frigate? That vessel is frigging huge! It's fun for you and your 10 favorite friends or employees! (By the way, no doubt I am envious of the folks that can afford this; but a mono-hull with 30 12-lbrs would be better...)
***** No, no, no. I don't know what lyrics you refer to, but they are not as good as they should be. You have two compound clauses. Technically to be grammatically perfect there should be periods or semi-colons. Commas are fine, but if you put in an "and" it breaks up the parallelism. You have an: A,B. A,B. With rhyming couplet on the B's. Don't trash it with an extraneous "and." "Nothing is better, Nothing is best. Take care of your health, Get plenty of rest."
***** A sem-colon: " ; " is used in English (at least in American English) as a connector between complete sentences, but where the two sentences are very well connected.* The use of a semi-colon is probably the highest-level grammatical distinction you will ever see. (It is also used when making a list of lists, as a sort of super-comma. E.g. : Listing the following: this; that; and something with long, short, and medium variants; another thing; and something else. ) * This cat is huge; it is bigger than my apartment. It is perfectly acceptable to write: (A) This cat is huge. It is bigger than my apartment. or: (B) This cat is huge, it is bigger than my apartment. The second sentence, (B) may be technically incorrect, but most native English speakers would not have any problem reading it. The starred version is both grammatically correct and also links the two ideas: 1) the boat is big, 2) it is way bigger than my apartment. That is the side bonus of a semi-colon. Using it to link two separate (and complete in their own right) sentences links the ideas embodied in the two sentences.
Mark M My poorly-made point about the size of the vessel is that this thing is huge. ( "So, .... um... What?," rather than "So what?"). It is a beautiful catamaran. Perhaps not the liveliest sailer due to her size, but way bigger than my condo. Heck, they might even have a clothes washer/dryer combo in that beast. Well, if you are going that big anyway, you might as well plump for the full-up frigate (three-master, square rigged, mono-hull, complete with olde-schoole armaments; and play "Master and Commander"). The point was clearly off-the-mark. It is a lovely boat. Next time I win a lottery I will put in my order and ditch all the excess baggage.
***** Really? For Age-of-Sail it was a 3-masted, square-rigged vessel. It was the smallest vessel a post captain could be assigned in the British Navy of the Napoleonic era. The main battery guns were carried on one deck (which was open along the mid-ship line). In modern navy parlance, I am much more shaky. A (modern) frigate is a small-ish vessel. Bigger than a destroyer, it has legs but is built for speed. In all ages (I write with possible correction), a frigate is the smallest-sized "real" warship. It can operate for long periods alone; it can crush any non-military opposition but it cannot stand in the line of battle when real capital ships clash (obsolete idea in the 20th century, proved about 7 December 1941 wrt capital ship supremacy). My (poorly executed) original humorous comment was along the lines of, "This Lagoon 620 is great, but you might as well have a yacht the size of a small ship of war." If I ever play and win a mega-lottery, my second call is going to be to a Lagoon seller (the first being to a financial advisor about how I need some money-management help, but first I need to buy a Lagoon 620). C'mon, this vessel is a monster. Might as well have a helipad. It is certainly way bigger than my condo.
