Lagoon Eighty 2 Catamaran | Boat Review Teaser | Multihulls World

At the close of the Cannes Yachting Festival, we had the opportunity to sail aboard Lagoon’s flagship, the Eighty 2. We had first discovered this large catamaran exclusively in Bordeaux, and it has proved to be lively under sail and economical under motor – 11.6 US gallons (44 liters)/hour at 2,000 rpm. The captain, with 2,000 nautical miles logged on his circumnavigation of the Iberian Peninsula, seemed very satisfied with his new vessel and especially with his quarters at the forward end of the port hull. Traffic flows smoothly thanks to the wide side-decks and the forward door in the nacelle. From the flybridge, the crew enjoys a 360° view of the water and can easily swap from one helm station to another. We would just like to see slightly deeper halyard bags and more secure access for working at the boom. In the starboard hull, we were able to test the famous opening side panel that acts as a terrace on the water in the Owner’s suite. Despite being proportionately narrower in beam than the Sixty, for example, the deck offers a flybridge of some 540 square feet (50 m²) that can be fitted out as desired, while aft, the platform connecting the sugarscoops covers 236 sq ft (22 m²)... Inside, you’ve got the choice of galley up or galley down. The Lagoon Eighty 2 will soon be available in a power version under the name of the Eighty 3 - hull #1 is already in build.
