[1][3][7] The Lagoon 55 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of vacuum infused polyester fiberglass, with wood trim.
The hulls have plumb stems, reverse transoms with swimming platforms, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel on the flying bridge and twin fixed fin keels.
The optional rigid bimini obviously means the boom is quite a lot higher, compelling the crew to undertake some challenging manoeuvres.
A second access to the flybridge on the starboard side deck, an option not fitted on our test boat, will avoid the need for any further acrobatics.
Not bad for a boat weighing over 30 tonnes with all the gear on ... With the 272m² asymmetric spinnaker, you will maximise your speed heading on a broad reach as well.
