2024 Lagoon 43 flybridge sailing catamaran revealed
All-new Lagoon 43 features a semi-flybridge deck and easy dockside accessFrench luxury catamaran group Lagoon has revealed the Lagoon 43, an all-new replacement for one of the best-selling models in the brand’s history.
The new Lagoon 43 will replace the Lagoon 42, a model responsible for more than 1000 sales worldwide.
Due for a European launch later this year, and an Australian market introduction in 2025, the Lagoon 43 features a semi-flybridge built into the trailing edge of the coachroof that introduces roof-level seating and a sun lounge.
The design allows the boom to sit lower than if the catamaran was designed with a traditional full flybridge as well as making the mainsail and jib/genoa easily visible from the raised, but still well-protected, helm position.
All the lines lead to winches located on the forward part of the semi-raised helm station, allowing for short-handed sail control.
Another feature to set this catamaran apart from the crowd is a special aft entryway built into the coaming of each hull.
The design provides a step-through space to enter or leave the Lagoon 43 via the aft cockpit space, as well as load or unload luggage or provisions. The void can be closed off using a pair of rail inserts.
The saloon features a forward galley, with the aft space taken up by a large table for up to 12 people that extends from inside to the open air of the cockpit, sheltered by the extended hardtop above. The saloon space offers all-around water views.
Forward, the Lagoon 43 features a large lounge space with three sunbeds and a central couch with a coffee table.
Key to the new Lagoon 43’s design are more generous interior volumes that have extended to the cabins. The owner’s cabin features a forward berth with an ensuite head and shower located aft similar, Lagoon says, to much larger yachts.
If the Lagoon 43 is to regularly have more guests onboard – think charter operations – two cabins in a mirror image of the starboard twin-cabin setup can replace the owner’s cabin.
Lagoon’s range of catamarans is sold in Australia via TMG Yachts.
