@@owenkuntz9108 But not with Lagoon 450

I think the problems have all been spotted now.. the manufacturing problems focus seems to have moved on to some of the Leopards out of SA.

If you bothered watching their earlier videos, Ty fixed all the known issues with the L45. But go ahead and make yourself feel better by putting other people down.

@@btrotta "All the known issues!?" Have you seen the videos of the extensive "known issues" these vessels have!? The bulkhead to hull weakness, the front decking literally being held down by a few screws and some glue, that can, and has, failed while. Sailing in light seas!? These things have more issues than a bad mother in law.

@@btrotta I did watch Ty work on the bulkheads, and while Ty appears to have strong abilities and skills, the consensus seems to be that the build quality of these vessels is terrible on verily important levels.

@@geofferyrobertson6608 Good luck

At least the problems are known and how to address them and what to watch for.

And unlike Leopard which tortures its victims (they call them "customers", but they turn them into victims) trying as much as they can to shrug away from their warranty responsibilities - Lagoon at least took responsibility and offered their customers (not victims) an easy course of action to survey their boats for cracked bulkheads and an easy process to have those fixed effectively and efficiently without dragging their customers through hell for years. I still don't think Lagoons are "real" boats - both Leopard and Lagoons are charter boats designed to be as cheap as possible, meant to be mostly motored around by people who aren't staying on them for more than 1-2 weeks a year.

The problems on D1 were fixed during their repair process. So there's nothing to worry about. I, as you should, congratulate the new owners and wish them many miles of happiness and memories aboard their new boat.

Lagoons fix was just an edge cap so when you removed the easiest piece of trim it would look like a strong repair. The damage on those bulk heads goes further back and the most people think out of sight out of mind.

It is a Lagoon 45, and they have been shown to be poorly built.

There's only two operational states of systems on a boat: broken or about to break. This is a constant process.

Seems pretty normal. You should watch Travel Sketch… they bought a brand new 2022 Leopard and have spent a year on the hard and $93k fixing it…

@@dlachtor CHEERS FOR THAT , I'LL CHECK THEM OUT

@@dlachtorWatching the issues with the factory glass work on that brings up significant concerns.

One is a French made vessel and one is made in Africa.

​@@Nickleg ??? Sailing Dauntless repaired two Leopard cats; Travel Sketch is trying to get their Leopard cat repaired.

We repaired one lagoon and one leopard

@@SailingDauntless Oops, my mistake! Well, you've repaired two catamarans; and have done an amazing job on both not only with repairs, but with upgrades as well!

If memory serves me right they checked and added the reinforcements to it. You should be able to scroll back in the channel and actually be able to find the videos they did on it

@@KayColeLynn If I recalled, they did add the reinforcements but the bulk heads were not damaged

Ty put it the kit from Lagoon after seeing some delamination, but after seeing the related issues with the hull and bulkheads along with the decking.. I wouldn't even sail on one without major inspections and retrofitting.
