What distinguishes the model

  • The galley is up in the bright saloon, which according to the specialist press offers plenty of space and comprises three cabins in the owner's version.
  • With 400 litres of diesel on board, there is ample range for long legs when there is no wind on passage.
  • The build relationship with the widely available Lagoon 40 speaks for a broad shipyard and spare parts network even far from home.
