Lagoon 42 (owners version, no charter)

We, a Swiss couple (no kids, non-smokers, no pets), bought this owner-version Lagoon 42, new, in April 2022, and have now enjoyed her in the Med for 3 summers. She opened up new perspectives and future plans for us, as we thoroughly enjoyed our time on her. The time has come to say good-bye and pursue new adventures.....and we are selling here in a pristine, Swiss-maintained, fully equipped, ready-to-cruise condition. As an added advantage, all first 2 year 'baby-diseases' have been eased out!

She is a standard Lagoon 42, owners-version, which is the most-sold cruising catamaran ever, which comes with many maintenance and repair advantages. Price is ex-VAT, as the boat is registered under Swiss flag. She is equipped with the optional higher 57HP Yanmar engines, which have been maintained and serviced by Yanmar technicians as per the service plan. Also, she has the optional folding props, which add 1 knot of boat speed. New anti-fouling paint was placed on early 2024, and is of excellent quality (Nautix A88 Formula+, the best!). She has been winter-stored on the dry yearly, anodes replaced each time, and, this year, placed in the water early May 2024. The owners-suite has the optional additional storage-cabinets.

Safety has been our focus, with annual rigging inspections, frequent engine maintenance, an 'under-service' life raft, weekly inspections by the owners, various safety slings, self-inflation life jackets, many fenders, long land-lines and clear check-lists for all various procedures (in German, but we can easily translate in English). We spend most nights on anchor and went with the (oversized) 20kg Viking anchor, which according to this expert is the best of the best: https://youtu.be/nLAXEvRfQbI?si=ABwCltloAZva4KOA . We kept the standard Lagoon 42 Delta anchor, and wired this up as well as a spare anchor. Finally, the dealer installed the B&G Halo 24 Radar (better range than Lagoon option), which works seamlessly with the B&G plotter and adds another level of safety when on a crossing.

Modern technology allowed us to be on anchor almost non-stop and enjoy the most remote anchorages: At the stern, the dinghy is sun-protected through a professionally build solar arch that holds 4 x 405W solar panels. At the helm station, we had the dealer build a custom bimini top that consists of 2 x 460W panels, with a plexiglass slide window in the middle (allowing full sail-trim visibility and easy access to the roof). This gives her 2,140W of solar capacity. The energy is stored in five 206Ah (1,030Ah total) professionally installed, marine-grade LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate, so no combustion danger as with Ni-Co containing batteries), 12V batteries. She has a 100 liters/hours, 12V water-maker, which was professionally installed in the port-side engine compartment. We easily managed to live comfortably for 4 over-cast days on this, whilst running the water-maker and 220V washing machine. She has 2 panels per Victron MPPT ( 3 x MPPT 150 I 60's), so even if there is some shade from the sails/mast, there is always enough power coming in. All is hooked up with Victron materials only (Multiplus II 12/3000W 220V, SmartShunt 500A, GX Touch 50, Cerbo GX). All wiring was done at top safety standards and the 12V high amp cables are over-designed in thickness. This gives her uninterrupted 220V power all day and night. As a result, we cook on 2 portable induction stoves and a combi microwave induction oven....and haven't used the propane stoves and oven (but we have an unused gas bottle on-board, as a back-up). Early in the season we used a portable electric heater in our owners-hull to keep warm (1000W) and in the few really really warm summer nights, we use a portable 220V air-conditioning in the port guest-cabin (smaller volume to cool) that can run all night long (batteries are 55% when we wake up)). On normal summer days, the top-of-the-line Caframo Sirocco II fans and many hatches keep the boat well ventilated. We have enough power to make potable water whenever we want. This also allows us to run our Starlink connection 24/7 (we work from the boat). The Starlink can be included in the sale and the subscription transferred, and is installed next to the solar-arch, where it has minimal obstruction. She also has a 12V remote-rotating camera in the cockpit, that is always connected thanks to the Starlink, allowing us to 'check-in' and see how's she is lying when we are ashore.

The dealer installed a conventional 8kg 220V washing machine on the place where the 3rd toilet was, in the small heads (bathroom) forward port-side (works very well - however, there are now only 2 electric-flush toilets remaining). Furthermore, we had the electrician installed 220V plugs in the saloon (Swiss must have their Raclette!), forward anchor-locker and in the port-engine compartment. The dealer also installed a separate 12V fresh-water pressure pump, with normal 'Gardena' hose connection at the trampoline, allowing us to give the boat a nice fresh water wash or clean the anchor when required. We have a (conventional) 220V ice maker and a small electric grill, we are happy to throw these in the package.

We had a custom 93m2 Code 0 sail made (as the Lagoon one was too small), and this allows her to sail very decently in low winds. The Code 0 has a UV cover, allowing it to stay outside, but we mostly disconnected it after daily use. This comes with the Lagoon-optional Code 0 winches and furler. Reefing is easy and safe, and we added chafe-protection to the 1st reef-line. She has the optional square top mainsail that adds a bit more power. She is no race-horse, but we have been very satisfied with her sailing performance overall. The electric winch at the helm station makes hoisting the main (and the dingy) a breeze. The mainsail lazy bag is from Lagoon and works well. We always stored the main in the bag after each sail.

The Highfield dinghy is easy to use, with the well-proven L42 davit system. It's the 'standard' Lagoon dinghy, with 20HP Honda engine (great speeds, engine serviced in early 2024). We always took the dingy up after we used it, though the hypalon material is strong and UV resistant, whereas the strong aluminum bottom allowed us to safely drag her on a sandy beach. 

Overall interior and boat-use: Guest berths were only lightly used. Pots and pans (Tefal), cooking utensils, cutlery, cups etc.....it's all fully complete and in good condition. Hatches come with mosquito screens, ventilation is great. Cushions are clean. Wood veneer has a few hicks, but nothing obvious. Overall, she is in really good condition. The light green color scheme, with logo and custom cushions, we tried to follow, gives her a distinct 'i am not a charter'-look.

We are now (July 2024) sailing Croatia, heading towards Dubrovnik. If there is an immediate interest, we could do the sea-trail in-person and perform a detailed hand-over and explain everything efficiently and thoroughly still this summer.....in case you wish to cross the Atlantic this year.
