As it celebrates its 40th anniversary, Lagoon showcased its newest model at the brand’s Exclusive Days event in France.
Lagoon staged a private premiere of its new 60 at the builder’s Exclusive Days in Bordeaux, where it hosted over 400 customers from around the world. Visitors were able to tour the Groupe Beneteau brand’s production facilities and view the full Lagoon product range, from the Lagoon 40 sailing catamaran to the Seventy 8 power catamaran.
However, the Lagoon 60 was the star of the show, and its christening was held in collaboration with Champagne Thiénot and Coral Guardian, a non-profit association that Lagoon partners with to restore and replant coral reefs. The Lagoon 60 sits in the sailing series between the 55 and Sixty 5, which is part of the Premium line with the Seventy 7 plus the Sixty 7 and Seventy 8 powercats.
The yacht features the open aft deck introduced on the Lagoon 55 and includes drop-down sides on each side of the cockpit. To port, the covered cockpit area includes an L-shaped sofa, a dining table and loose chairs, while to starboard is a daybed. The interior starts with a full galley or bar area to port, with a three-sided lounge forward. To starboard is an L-shaped sofa, dining table and chairs.
A saloon door and two symmetrical side decks lead to the foredeck, which includes a sunken lounge with sofas flanked by integrated sunpads with flexible backrests.
From the cockpit, starboard stairs lead to an extra-large flybridge featuring a bench-seat helm station to starboard, a forward U-shaped sunpad arrangement around a coffee table, and an L-shaped dinette in the aft port corner. The hard top can be covered with solar panels.
In the galley-down layout, the port hull features the galley aft, as well twin and double guest cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms. The starboard hull has a large master suite aft and a double forward, while there are two crew cabins in the forepeaks. The galley-up version has an extra guest cabin at the aft end of the port hull, in place of the lower galley.
The Lagoon 60 has already spent two months in the Atlantic and will continue technical sea trials in the coming months before its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10-15.
Lagoon is the world leader in cruising catamarans, having built 7,000 units since it emerged as an offshoot of Jeanneau in 1984, and recently appointed Asiamarine as its dealer in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.
