At 44â??, a reasonable cost, and offering immense space, the Lagoon 440 targets two distinct customer bases: ocean cruisers with an emphasis on performance and ultra comfort within a controlled budget, and the charter market with or without skipper. A simple glance at the boat is enough to notice its main distinguishing characteristic: a rigid bimini, with an integral helm station. The percentage of catamarans now equipped with biminis has practically reached 100%, and so it is logical for Lagoon to propose a built-in and much more esthetically pleasing solution. A simple rigid bimini would have satisfied many customer expectations, however we preferred to place the helm station at its ideal central location, with an extra-wide bench seat where guests can join the helmsman and participate in the joys of sailing. For safety, Lagoon studied in great detail the access to the helm station, and led one of the mainsheet ends into the cockpit, for easy quick release in the case of emergency. The helm station is surrounded by all the sail control lines, reefing included, so that one person can easily handle all the maneuvers. So while all of these innovations and more make the Lagoon 440 an original design, it still remains attached to traditional Lagoon values : a seaworthy vessel, safe, fast, comfortable, luxurious, where woodwork is predominant. Resolutely facing the future: absolutely LAGOON.
