And by the time wed gained enough sea room to crack off to a reach though the wind had settled down into the teens we still managed to add a couple more knots to our pace by unfurling the code zero.
Lagoon catamaran top speed. Scoops Aft Boarding Steps The steps in the scoops are a little steep and the bottom step is not deep enough. Past the breakwater we hooked a left rolled out the self-tacking jib and headed for deeper water. She was built between 2010 and 2019 by Lagoon France.
Lagoon 500 Margarita recently came back from Vladivostok to Singapore with a new record. She was built between 1999 and 2008 by Lagoon France with 548 hulls completed. As the revs go up she reached 20 knots the top speed in 37 seconds.
The Lagoon 380 is a 3711 1155m cruising catamaran designed by VPLP Design France. More to the point with the motors cut our speed over ground hovered right around 9. Under engine we do a comfortable 75 knots at 2500 rpm.
For the record with the throttles wide open the boats two 57 hp Yanmar diesels pushed us along at 85-knots. While the Outremer 45 is known for speed it doesnt compromise on the quality of living. It has a top speed of 16 knots which is higher than almost every other catamaran of its class.
If we look at 10 knots for example the Lagoon 44 catamaran has impressive cruising range of 650 NM Regal range at 10 KT is 220 NM. From 2340 to 2440 HP. You can settle into life on this boat with complete peace of mind.
For a predominantly downwind race in fresh conditions fresh enough for two large cats to capsize the average speed for the 14 finishers was approx 10 knots for an average boat length of approximately 12 meters. 12 days this is an average speed of 15 knots with a top speed. Both cruising speed and top speed are satisfactory.
