Offshore cruising in a sudden pop‑up thunderstorm is anything but predictable—one moment the sea rolls steady, the next a wall of wind barrels down, whipping the rigging and heeling the boat hard over as spray leaps across the deck. Rain lashes sideways, stinging skin and soaking everything in seconds, until I can’t tell what’s seawater and what’s sky. The storm seems to come from nowhere, fierce and messy, leaving me braced against the wheel, drenched and blinking through the chaos, riding it out until the burst of fury suddenly eases as quickly as it arrived.

► Article in Special Issue N°24 Forever Green: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/refit-the-new-eldorado-for-recreational-boating ► The first catamaran from the Neo program, a completely refurbished Lagoon 620, was presented to us in Palma de Mallorca. Hull #29, dating from 2012, has spent 4 months at the Monfalcone yard in Italy undergoing a full refit carried out by the builders themselves: structural and mast inspection, bulkhead rework, replacement of engines, sails, electrics, plumbing, electronics, headlinings, upholstery, etc. Nothing escaped the Lagoon experts! What’s more, the catamaran, repainted in Star & Stipes blue, is now equipped with solar panels, a lithium battery bank, low-energy air conditioning and a wastewater treatment system. The cost of this more than complete refit (there are four levels of packs) is in the order of € 800K for a unit that trades on the second-hand market for amounts from € 1.3M. This brings the total to € 2.1M, which compares with the cost of a new, fully-loaded Lagoon 60 at around € 3.2M. A substantial difference that could well attract players in the luxury charter market. For the time being, the Neo program is open to the 170 Lagoon 620s and 50 Lagoon 630 MYs built, though other models will soon be added to the program. ► 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!
