Exterior and Interior Design
In 2019 the French introduced a new sailing catamaran Lagoon 46, which will eventually replace the 450 series. The model has already won the award at the Asia Boating Awards. The boat has retained its family lines in the exterior and bright spacious interiors in a modern style. This was to be expected as the boat was being worked on by a permanent trio – VPLP design, Patrick le Quément and Nauta Design.
Facilities on board
In the new Lagoon 46, the cockpit has a functional dining area that can accommodate up to 10 people. The salon traditionally houses a kitchen and a cabin. Sunbathing areas are highlighted on the flybridge and at the bow. The Lower Deck is traditionally available in two versions, with three cabins (for private use) and four (charter version).
Features
The designers decided to move the mast closer to the center of the hull. This allowed to reduce the area of the mainsail, making it more obedient, and at the same time increase the stack. On the 46th, the manufacturer gave up the genoa, making it easier to work with the sails. The control post has been moved to the centre, but the view is a bit difficult and the optional cameras are not superfluous.
Region of sailing
The Lagoon 46 is certified for ocean access. Both the water desalter and 1040 litres of fuel reserve provide good autonomy. With this amount of fuel you can not just go to the marina, and in the absence of wind even go under the engine to the nearest islands.
