HAPPINESS IS ALSO A MATTER OF BALANCE. AND FOR YOU

to fully enjoy your Lagoon, it is our constant goal to ensure that

certain qualities we consider inseparable have been given priority

smooth ride through the waves and plenty of space for your comfort;

an efficient mainsail and a large foretriangle for a wide choice of sail

combinations and ease of maneuvering; a comfortable, safe cockpit

and a large saloon to accommodate the crew in ideal conditions...

Balance, for complete happiness at sea.
