Tourists love that fly bridge though. A real sailor appreciates physics though.

It get people where they wanna go,

@@solaireastora5394 It’s slow, and inefficient.

@@dalesmth1 so what?

@@vincent5 Do you have a point besides your head?

just was thinking of the bulk head failures that seem to plague this brand.. interior wise shes a beauty but more of a sailing apartment which should concern us all...

There are hull problems with older models?

@@UTube-gs1yf I've seen bulkheads on older models built not to satisfying standards

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Stefan

Alot of creaking on a flat calm marina, very worrying to think they've already got 50 orders.

You can afford one don’t worry bud

Could the bulkheads and the creaking possibly be related?...

@@angela1984a I believe so. A lot of the bulkheads weren't cut right or attached on Parley revival.

The bulkhead probs were only on one model according to Parlay Revival. Unless there has been something recent. Haven't seen anything about others since he toured factory and met with reps of company.

@@terrykeever3280 Sailing Zingaro where abord a Lagoon 500 while underway. That boat also creaked like crazy. You can search for that video on his channel. Just type in "Lagoon" in the search window... So if it is those two models - then why couldn't it be a problem on more models? I'm not familiar with the entire Lagoon range though...

Same builder, most likely same issues.

I agree, and I am wondering how that superstructure will hold up to large breaking waves, and what that does for the overall stability of the boat. Yikes.

I assume it’s enclosable, but I agree that heavy weather “manage your yacht in a heavy squall” type situations need more explanation. If you’re going to do long term blue watering, you’re going to get hit - hard - more than once.

That's why you should buy an Amel.

​@@rouslant An Amel is a completely different vessel (monohull vs cat.) Cat people want a luxury ride. With that said, I would much rather be in Amel during heavy weather since the helm is well protected. I never liked an "open" helm design found in many cats. Amel will always (for the foreseeable future) be a better blue water sailor than any cat.

@@scotthampton8741 a "boat for good weather" is like training for a boxing fight preparing only for "little punches". The sea is the sea, anything that can't stand 80+ knots winds isn't a boat, just a floating coffin. And that boom 7 or 8 meters above sea level is just a call to capsize.

I don’t like all the cabins, I much rather have a way bigger master and say 2 guest cabins. Having all those guest cabins seems stupid. If I’m sailing with me and my lady I don’t want 3 other couples on a boat that’s only 55ft. Not saying it’s a small boat but it’s small when theirs 8 plus people on board. Why is it the older 50 plus foot cats seem to have really cool master bedrooms that take up the whole front part of the ship, I can’t remember the KZfaq family that has one but it’s really cool.

@@marcuslarwa9098 Most of these cats are sold into the charter market, where 8-10 guests pay 20-30K per week. The destination-tourism trade exploded about ten years back. You can still order most new cats in 'owner's editions' the way you want (fewer/larger rooms). Catana/Bali even created a boat (the 4.8) that is a bit smaller than their flagship charter boat (the 5.4), specifically to cater to potential owners. But it's also configurable as a charter. I think most charter operators would go the full 5.4, though. I'm looking at the 4.8 as a possibility in a few years, as I get ready to retire.

@@FamilyManMoving yea as a business that makes sense but like I said if I were getting it to sail around the world with my lady I’d much rather have less rooms that were bigger.

@@marcuslarwa9098 They probably have an "owners" version

That’s a great question lol

The real question is have they upgraded the engineering staff? The bulkheads are built exactly to the head engineer’s requirements.

@@RA-gk5zg Engineer? I thought they only had an interior designer (from Ikea) and built around that.

They should be recalling and repairing all the broken bulkheads. Hopefully they'll fix the issue. CRAZY!!!

If I can get aboard one I'll happily try and show the results Angela! Especially if they can bring them to Europe

@@yachtingworld Rapido 50 hull #1 in Spain

Well... If they haven't adressed that issue in production by now - then this company probably isn't going to last very long...

@@angela1984a Yeah I’m sure they have. It was only said in jest. 👍👍

@@angela1984a it´s a FRENCH boat, not German, or Dutch, it´s French tech... I have seen Bulkheads broken fee from the hull on Jeanneaus enough, they build poor and sell high

@@Iam-mad Outremer and CNB are also French boats... I honestly don't think Lagoon being French is the problem here...

@@angela1984a Have You been in France? Did You own a french car? Have You been tricked by french sellers? KZfaq is full of sailing-channels in troubles with broken this and malefunctioning that. A french bowthruster is not to be used permanentely, because the cable melts, it´s not "designed" for permanent use. A dutch boat has hydraulic bow thruster. You can thrust as long as You want.

This will have a watermaker optioned by every owner for sure

@@MetalMike50 That's for sure. Maybe the technical part of the yacht will be shown a little more next time Because I see that there is an option for a fully electric powertrain instead of diesel engines this will be very popular in the years to come

@@MetalMike50 All very well but you still need to store the water for extended offshore passage making. Water makers stop working at the most inopportune times.

@@vorda400 you really thought you were doing something by comparing a ferrari to a bus

@@pred7949 There are better comparisons than Ferrari because these new buses look comfortable I was thinking about the design as a whole, not so much (although they are important) the performance Because when you do the math, even this boat is not cheap, and then again you wonder if the investment was worth it in the end, so you still have to upgrade everything, in the end you need to gather experience and see what you actually need

wribg

Lagoon earned the reputation for some sketchy production but I don't think and hopefully it won't be carried over to this

Looks dodgy...everywhere

@@inhale.exhale.2527 A day sailer at best

Please can you give your reason why you think that way.

@@ckbond41 first thing I noticed was the “stairs” up to the top flybridge. The narrator said the same thing I did “could use a handle rail along here”. Imagine yourself in a semi-rough sea, the boat rocking a bit and you trying to claw your way up those steps. The higher up you get the more pronounced the sea swell becomes. Its all well and good if you plan to just anchor it and motor in calm seas from island to island, but best laid plans of mice and sailors. Also my guess is more than one or two drunk guests will go sliding into the water along one of those walkways. Again any sea chop or motion will put many sailors and passengers in the water if there is not something to grab onto. The rule is “one hand for me and one hand for the boat” meaning you always want something you can grab onto while moving on deck. That boat as very few handholds and lots of place that come up to your knees. Any motion from the ocean will kick your legs out from under you as you hit your knees and put you in the water.

@@viking8889 Thanks for the info, really appreciate it.

You can't get any other cat now without wait at least 2 years. Unless some one step out from order and your dealer lucky be good kisser of right ass to increase his sales

Those were built ten years ago and they have changed their build practice... from what they showed Zattara ..🤷🏻‍♂️ But i still dont like the open fly bridge concept its a seasonal Mediteranian plus Holliday's boat some nice styling and lots of features but a skin cancer or hypothermia boat to sail.

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 One reported by Zingaro was 2 years old. Still, what was done for those owners

@@ckh2815 I think from what i remember in his report... they arranged a programme of inspections and offered remedial works to those vessels that hadnt been reported as having had hurricane damage or accidental groundings.. Its either in the end of the video where he visits the factory to discuss the matter or the one after that. 🤔👍🏼 With oceanic warming generating more high energy weather events from squalls, bombs and thunderstorms up to Hurricanes and Typhoons breaking out of their traditional ranges both geographically and seasonally. Seakeeping and easy safe handling will become more of an incentive for the extended cruisers and live aboard's.

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Do you mean Zatara? They do not have a Lagoon. They have a Privilège. And as far as I know they do not have any kind of bulkhead issues...

@@angela1984a I know the boat and the model and the guy who owns it and what he does and that he had Odd life Crafting to stay on route to the last boat show. But i may have got my channel names crossed. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ Put me right pls.

@@tinyb4165 Unless your a South African nutter like Catamaran Impi... lolol

Bali has solid foredecks on the sailing cats, but I think they are alone. I think for everyone else there are some legacy choices in cat architecture having to do with designs built around older materials and methods. Makers are starting to lift the foredecks and connect them. Trampolines on some modern designs have shrunk to the point they might as well go full deck, ala Bali.
