Replacing a catamaran that has come to be seen as a benchmark is no easy task. But the VPLP architects, in partnership with Lagoon and the celebrated Nauta Design studio, have been brilliantly successful in creating the new Lagoon 450.

infusion-moulding weight saving (important for a catamaran), best possible structure, protection for the environment and shipyard workers
interior joinery in Alpi reconstituted wood in the interests of sustainable development (choice of finishes: light oak or teak)
vertical glazing for better protection against the sun, optimisation of space and headroom
gull-wing bridge deck for greater comfort in heavy seas
VPLP design: a guarantee of performance under sail!
and the Nauta touch for elegance and comfort
~Above decks
a steering station on the fly bridge with safe access from both sides for perfect visibility and a large sunbathing area
a spacious cockpit, again ideal for sunbathing, on the same level as the galley, with a ventilation panel
a second cockpit, making best use of the forward area
particularly safe and effective transom platforms for coming aboard or accessing the tender
~Below decks
interior design by Nauta elegance and functionality
saloon and cabins exceptionally well lit
natural light in cabins thanks to large glazed panels on hulls
truly luxurious owner's and guests' cabins
U-shaped galley for greater comfort at sea
galley located between cockpit and saloon
engine compartments remote from the living areas and perfectly insulated
~Performances
19 days! Maybe not a Route du Rhum time, but nevertheless a very creditable performance for a voyage from La Rochelle to Pointe a Pitre (3477 miles) in a strictly standard Lagoon 450.

The sailplan gives the boat enough power to remain fast and dynamic in a wind of less than 10 knots.
