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