► Full test in Multihulls World N°197. ► Two years: that’s how long it’s taken to complete the Lagoon 60 project from A to Z - the replacement for the emblematic 630, that has seen unrivalled success in this size of catamaran (169 sailing models and another 58 examples of the 630 MY, the power version!). Seeking to ride a powerful wave of events motivated by the celebration of the shipyard’s 40th anniversary, Lagoon organized a world premiere event at home, at one of the Bordeaux yard’s platforms, where all models over 50 feet are built. The waterfront event was intended to be festive and even celebratory, with the presence of former international basketball player Boris Diaw, the brand’s ambassador. Lagoon also took the opportunity to showcase their full range of 40 to 77-foot yachts, both afloat and ashore. In terms of outline, the new 60-foot model, as ever signed by VPLP, presents a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation on deck concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. For the interior, the designers have managed to ensure totally flush circulation from one cockpit to the other, including of course the nacelle - a floor without steps, and that changes everything! We've already booked our sea trial of the Lagoon 60, which will be undertaken off Palma de Mallorca in June - stay tuned! ► Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Exterior design: Patrick le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Length overall: 59’11” (18.27 m) Beam: 32’5” (9.87 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Air draft: 98’ (30 m) Light displacement (CE): 70,560 lbs (32 t) Upwind sail area: 2,571 sq ft (239 m²) Mainsail: 1,603 sq ft (149 m²) Genoa: 968 sq ft (90 m²) Motors: 2 x 150 HP Fuel: 343 US gal (1,300 l) Water: 254 US gal (960 l) Berths: 8 to 14 CE Category: A: 14 / B: 14 / C: 20 / D: 20 www.catamarans-lagoon.com ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Hold on tight - really tight - because we spotted the world's most powerful PWC, built by Benelli, at the Southampton Boat Show. You know Benelli, the company that's world-renowned for crafting some of the finest hunting shot-guns around? Well, turns out these guys also like their waterbikes. And, they like them powerful. To the tune of oh, say, 315 hp. Yowza! Now, the Benelli isn't yet available in the US of A, and that's why you probably haven't seen this bad boy just yet. But, stay tuned. We heard some interesting rumors at the show, and it sounds like this PWC may be coming to our shores in short order. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/10/benelli-first-look-video-of-the-most-powerful-pwc-in-the-world/ For more PWC videos, visit www.boats.com.
