The Lagoon 40 is a fractional sloop catamaran designed by VPLP Design and built by Lagoon, with production records indicating a start year of 2017. This model features a beam of 22.18 ft and a displacement of 23997.0 lb, offering a balance of interior volume and performance typical of modern cruising catamarans.

Best for:

This vessel is well-suited for coastal and nearshore cruising, particularly for owners seeking a spacious layout with modern amenities like solar power and watermakers. Its fractional rig and moderate comfort ratio of 15.7 suggest it is also appropriate for active cruisers who prioritize ease of handling and single-handed capability.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 3.08 and a displacement of 23997.0 lb, the Lagoon 40 is designed for safe offshore passage making, though owners frequently upgrade with watermakers and solar panels to support extended bluewater autonomy.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other VPLP-designed catamarans from the same era, such as the Lagoon 42 and Lagoon 450, which share similar hull forms and interior philosophies. It also competes with the Fountaine-Pajot Astrea 42 and Beneteo Figaro Beneteau 42, which offer similar beam and displacement characteristics for coastal cruising.
