February 2009 News From Lagoon!

The Lagoon 620 will be a wonderful addition to the upper end of the Lagoon Line!


Nick Harvey of Lagoon America reports:

The Lagoon 620 received her deck last Monday, February 16, in Bordeaux. Of
course, we were on site to see this impressive operation!
The 3.1 ton coachroof and the 4 ton deck, fitted perfectly on the hull. All
were impressed by the astounding living space with a flybridge of 153sq
foot flybridge and 234 sq ft salon!
The Lagoon 400 had her deck fitted today Friday, February 20, at the
Belleville sur Vie factory in Vendée.
Plumbing and electrics are already in place on both boats, as well as the
bulkheads and furniture, which already gives a good idea of the volume and
comfort of both boats.
First boats are planned to be in the water in April (Lagoon 400) and June
(Lagoon 620).
