Horizon Yacht Sales is please to present this 2023/24 Lagoon 40.  Skip the production line because this fully loaded Lagoon 40 three-cabin owner's version is due out of the factory in October 2023. The new owner will have the opportunity to make a return on their investment via placement into Horizon Yacht Charter's prestigious charter fleet or sail away on an adventure of a lifetime.  The Lagoon 40 Catamaran is packed with features that will appeal to an owner looking for a mid-size catamaran, which has the owner's layout, which has proven to be as popular in this size range as 4 cabin cats. Easy to handle with an ergonomic helm station, high aspect mainsail, and self-tacking jib. Single-level connectivity between cockpit and saloon, with smart, simple and elegant interior design for comfortable and stylish living. Strong but lighter than her predecessors. Weight distribution is optimized to maintain strength and improve performance. It will appeal to couples and family cruisers looking for a manageable cat capable of blue-water cruising. The Lagoon 40 Catamaran Features:  EASY SAILING The 60'5" mast is set to further aft as you see on the 42, the boom is shorter, and the mainsail is smaller with a higher aspect ratio, making it more manageable but without compromising performance. This 40 has the heavy-duty main which is recommended for the Caribbean trade winds. She also has a self-tacking jib which facilitates shorthanded sailing. The "white sails" provide plenty of power: in smooth water, with a true wind of 17-20 knots, you will see over 8 knots regularly. There is an option for a bow-sprit and gennaker which will further improve the off-wind speed –  look forward to 10 knots plus. The standard Yanmar engines are 29HP but we upgrade to the 45HP's just in case there is any powering to windward in some lumpy seas.   ERGONOMIC HELM STATION The helm station is compact but with a seat with room for two.  With the mainsail controls, Yanmar engine controls, and power winch easily in reach, sailing shorthanded is a breeze. The latest B&G navigation instrumentation is clearly laid out right in front of you and is user-friendly. The sloping composite bimini offers decent sun protection, and there are clear protective roll-down screens if you encounter a shower. The slightly raised helm gives great visibility generally around the boat, and the steps into the cockpit mean good interconnectivity with the crew. Moving around the deck is safe, the hatches are flush, and the side decks are wide with decent handholds. The boom is low to the coach roof, and access to the mainsail/stack pack for stowing is easy via steps from the helm position. The whole design brings harmony between the rig and the rest of the boat, it simply looks right.   COMFORTABLE AND ELEGANT LIVING SPACE The transoms are wide and have just two steps to the cockpit level. The cockpit itself is compact with a good size cockpit table and plenty of seating/soft lounging areas. There is single-level connectivity to the saloon through the sliding door, and a sliding window panel gives greater access to passing items from the galley. In the saloon, which feels like a comfortable apartment, the wrap-around vertical windows bring masses of light as well as give great panoramic views. There are two opening windows forward which provide ventilation and an option for passing drinks forward to those sitting on the forward deck sun cushions. The headroom is 6'6 in the saloon, with the nav station on the port side and the 'lounge' seating on the starboard. The galley has a three-burner stove, fridge, and freezer as well as good low and high-level storage space and generous countertop areas. The interior hull design is smart and simple. The joinery finishes inside is walnut which brings an upscale quality. Large embedded portlights allow plenty of natural light and make the cabins feel light and airy. This 40 is the three double cabins, two heads, and showers version.  All cabins and heads are well thought through, with decent storage and hanging space and comfortable double berths.   CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN The Lagoon 40 is strong but lighter than its predecessors. Weight distribution is optimized to maintain strength and improve performance. There is solid fiberglass below the waterline giving reassuring solidity, but they have kept the weight low above the waterline with vacuum-infusion construction and balsa coring in the deck and the hull. The aft rig position reduces pitching, and the gull wing-shaped nacelle reduces slamming in heavier seas. The newly squared-off transoms are wide and make dinghy access much easier. Also, remember the anchor has the roller on the cross-beam, so anchoring and attaching the bridle is easy.   IN CONCLUSION She is easy to handle, looks good, and will get you from A to B quickly and in comfort. She is an excellent platform for couples and families to enjoy the sun and sea in the Caribbean.

Horizon Yacht Sales is pleased to present this fully equipped 2023/24 Lagoon 46.  Skip the production line because this fully loaded Lagoon 46 due out of the factory in October 2023. The new owner will have the opportunity to make a return on their investment via placement into Horizon Yacht Charter's prestigious charter fleet or sail away on an adventure of a lifetime.  The Lagoon 46 Catamaran. A faster and more luxurious successor to the ultra-successful 450. The hard chine running the length of the hulls creates powerful lines and delivers better performance through the water due to less wetted surface area. Multiple areas to relax, an exceptional galley, and a sumptuous level of comfort and choice below decks. A dinghy Tender-lift option doubles as a bathing platform when the dinghy is launched Smart rig design, ingenious deck layout, and an ergonomic helm station make short-handed sailing a breeze Practical and glamorous she appeals to families on holiday and blue-water sailors alike. Lagoon 46 Catamaran features PRACTICAL COMFORT On board the Lagoon 46, there are multiple areas to relax with the prime position being huge sun-loungers on the flybridge behind the helm station. The flybridge itself is sociable and easily seats six. The neatly designed forward cockpit area has comfortable cushions flush with the deck and an open walkway onto the trampoline. The aft cockpit is spacious and well thought out. When the cockpit table is not in use it folds down and there is an ingenious sliding seat that folds beneath the table, allowing access from the cockpit to the flybridge on the port side. Also in the Lagoon 46 Catamaran’s cockpit, there is a sink, front-loading fridge and plenty of storage on the starboard side and forward to port an extensive countertop with a built-in icebox. The salon itself is spacious and sumptuous. The galley is exceptional with copious counter space and storage, with a big sliding window that opens to the cockpit. Natural light streams through the wrap-around vertical windows, and there’s a retractable sash window forward for maximum ventilation as well as passing drinks to the forward cockpit. Fully air-conditioned, with a generator, extensive fridge and freezer space and the water-maker option make this a design for easy living. CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY BELOW The Interior and accommodation are by Nauta Design. The combination of elegance and functionality, and the superior level of comfort are extraordinary. Sinking into the saloon settees, you have to remind yourself you are on a yacht. Large fixed hull windows with opening portlights bring natural light in abundance and great ventilation. The cabins give you a feeling of space and complete well-being.   PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING The mast step positioned further aft reduces pitching and allows a larger self-tacking jib, which is set on a curved track for added smoothness through the tack or gybe. The shorter boom and high aspect mainsail, with a traveller adjusted using an electric captive winch, makes for easier sail handling and manoeuvring as well as optimized performance. All the navigation tools and sail controls are neatly organized and within easy reach at the Flybridge. The narrower hulls below the waterline create less drag, but with the chine, there is no compromise to interior space, so better performance and better accommodation! With electric winches where needed, autopilot and the latest B&G navigation equipment sailing this boat can be sailed comfortably short-handed. With cable steering, the helm feedback is excellent. Under power, she is smooth and responsive. The Yanmar 45 HP diesel engines are standard but Horizon upgrades to the 57 HP’s. On the Lagoon 46 Catamaran there is a choice of dinghy davit, the standard system operated with a captive electric winch, or you could select the tender-lift option and have it double as a bathing platform when the dinghy is launched.   GETTING AROUND THE LAGOON 46 CATAMARAN The transom steps are wide, giving easy and safe transfer to and from the dinghy, and the two steps up to the cockpit are shallow. The side decking is wide with flush hatches and plenty of handholds when moving forward or aft. Access up to the fly-bridge is from either side of the boat from the side deck, and from the cockpit port side, with wide safe steps. Up forward the transition from the trampoline to the forward cockpit is flush, with no stepping down and the cowling for the anchor windlass makes a great tabletop. All the heritage, tradition and quality of Lagoon have been encapsulated in the Lagoon 46, and with advanced design performance and superior comfort, this is going to be a stunningly successful boat.
