About the LAGOON 47
Designed by Van Peteghem & Lauriot Prévost and built by Lagoon./Jeanneau, the Lagoon 47 is a distinctive catamaran with a production run limited to the year 1992. With a hull count of ?, this model represents an early entry in the modern performance catamaran market, featuring a fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and charter operators who prioritize interior volume and beam over extreme bluewater ruggedness, given its wide 24.92 ft beam and relatively light 19842.0 lb displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the 114.02 D/L ratio and 3.69 capsize ratio suggest moderate stability, the critical frequency of rudder/shaft issues and deck core moisture reports indicates that extensive mechanical and structural refurbishment is required before considering serious offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and early Fountaine-Pajot models from the early 1990s, as they share similar beam-to-length ratios and fractional rig configurations aimed at maximizing sail plan efficiency on a wide platform.
