Lagoon 400 S2

Specification

Construction

The 400 is built using Lagoon’s tried and trusted method: : solid laminate below the waterline and balsa core above, including the decks. The hulls and decks are infused with polyester, and Lagoon adds vinylester resin to the hulls as an osmotic barrier.

We rebuilt the main bulkhead and all the floor under the water tanks, fixed the water problem that comes from the mast (on all 400), we built it back stronger that original also modified the drainage slope inside the floor under the water tanks so that water drains out… not in (this is a major flaw in the Lagoon fix bulletin from 2015 on these models). Tons of pictures are available detailing the work we did.

Sailing

Sailors won’t be disappointed with the Lagoon 400, especially off the wind. Sure, there is a trade off for all of that living space, but you should comfortably achieve 7 knots and over in a breeze, even upwind. She tacks well if you boost the speed before coming through the wind. The genoa is easy enough to handle. In a breeze, she’ll comfortably claw off a lee shore. A Good Sailor in a Breeze, Especially Off the Wind.

In moderate winds (10-20 kts), the Lagoon 400 sails well from 50° to 140° TWA. Like most cats, running directly downwind is not really an option unless you have a parasailor or spinnaker as the shrouds stop you from opening up the mainsail. You are better off “tacking” downwind and moving the apparent wind forward. You can expect a SOG of around half of the apparent wind, up to 10 kts of boat speed. All the sail handling is done from the elevated helm station at the port main bulkhead which has become a Lagoon trademark for this sized boat.

Easy to Handle

The running rigging is simple, all lines, sheets and halyards come back to the helm and all the work can be done on one of the tree electrical winches. Raising and lowering the main and reefing works well from the helm.

Getting about the boat feels safe, as the layout has been kept clean with wide flush decks with recessed hatches. The bow lockers will comfortably store all your lines, fenders, and sails, and they have a false floor giving you an additional lower section to store stuff.

Living Space

This is where Lagoon have excelled on the 400 and the design has stood the test of time. The saloon and galley are very roomy for a boat this size, with plenty of storage under the saloon sofa.  Add a fridge into the cockpit if you don’t have one and you have one fridge for food and one for drinks.

The saloon also includes a handy nav station. Head down below, and you will also note the living space that you get on these boats versus some of the competition. The berths are not that far off a 450, and there is plenty of stowage space.
