French catamaran builder Lagoon has launched a new 51-footer that is an evolution of the best features of previous models combined with new additions. With a new rig and an open interior, this swanky cat will find a solid target market in both charter and private use.
Like its predecessor the Lagoon 50, the new Lagoon 51 is the work of VPLP and Patrick Le Quément, and in fact it shares the same hulls with a slightly different bridgedeck in between. The new model gained 2 feet in LOA with longer swim platforms but also slimmed down by about 2,000 pounds.
