One Year as a Lagoon 43 Owner | Full Interview, Newport Boat Show 2026

A year ago, Leo walked the docks at the Newport Boat Show. He had never owned a sailboat. Today he owns a Lagoon 43. In this conversation with Kristy Hansen of Signature Catamarans, Leo talks about buying his first boat, why the broker mattered more than the brochure, using the boat as a business, what ownership support looks like after delivery, and his advice for anyone who loves the idea of a catamaran but is hesitant to take the next step.
