Lagoon 42 Catamaran for Charter : San Diego
You think you know what you’re getting into when you step aboard a newer Lagoon. Space, oodles of it. In lounging areas, down below and on deck. A centralized cockpit with all controls at hand. Details designed toward comfort and entertainment. And indeed all these things are true. But Lagoon has also worked out how to make the boats more fun to sail. The smaller main and large headsails make bending on sail less of a chore. The code sail keeps her moving when the breeze gets light. She’s comfortable for crew sitting on the foredeck, and truly luxurious for those watching the waves go by from the cockpit lounge in the stern. Hopena is a fine specimen of the Lagoon 42 (2019), and you’re going to enjoy this cat much more than you ever thought you would.
Hopena Includes:
Master Suite on starboard side, with two cabins to port. Toys aboard include SUP/kayak, while lounging is improved both on and off the water with a lilly pad and deluxe bean bag chairs.
Lagoon 42 Exterior:
(from Sail Magazine Review, edited for length)
The transoms are wide enough to preclude any embarrassing moments boarding from a dock or dinghy, and just two low steps lead up to the single-level cockpit. Here a dinette to starboard will seat eight, a lounge to port will be cozy for two, and another small seat spans the space just ahead of the davits.
The raised helm is to port, and communication is easy from here to the cockpit while visibility forward is fairly good, especially if you’re tall. There is plenty of room for two people to work, and even room behind the helm seat for a third person to stand or pass through down to the cockpit.
Steps also lead up to the coachroof for access to the boom or the integrated sun pad. The helm ergonomics have truly been optimized, from the centered window cut into the composite top that provides a clear view of the mainsail, down to the many handholds for anyone who doesn’t have a grip on the wheel.
Lagoon 42 Interior:
(from Sail Magazine, cont.)
A three-panel glass door leads seamlessly from the cockpit to the saloon, which is located on the same level. The U-shaped galley is split, with a three-burner Eno stove and a single sink to starboard and refrigeration to port.
The L-shaped settee runs athwartships and also serves as a seat for the outboard-facing nav station. The saloon is spacious and will move traffic well, but it would benefit from an overhead hatch, as the only ventilation comes from two forward opening windows.
Our test boat featured the owner’s layout, with the entire starboard hull dedicated to the private master stateroom. Aft, the island bed is nice and low for easy access, and the large hull windows let the captain check out the surroundings without getting up. Amidships, a desk is a nice addition. The head forward takes up a third of the hull, with a huge shower compartment that has plenty of room for even the largest of crew.
The aft cabin in the port hull has the same low island berth as the owner’s cabin and a private head with a separate shower stall; the forward cabin has an integrated head/shower combination and provides access to the bow compartment that may be used as additional sleeping quarters
