Lagoon 51
The Lagoon 51 is a model of sailing catamaran manufactured by Lagoon Catamarans, a French company within the Groupe Beneteau. It is a leisure-oriented vessel designed for comfortable cruising and extended voyages.
Introduced in 2022, the Lagoon 51 builds upon Lagoon's existing catamaran designs, incorporating features like a large flybridge with ample seating and sunbathing areas, a forward cockpit accessible from the saloon, and a focus on natural light and ventilation within the interior spaces. The yacht is typically offered in various layout configurations, accommodating different numbers of cabins and heads (bathrooms). These configurations cater to both private owners and the charter market.
Key aspects of the Lagoon 51 design include:
- Hull Design: The hull shape is optimized for stability, efficiency, and comfortable passage making.
- Flybridge: A signature feature is the spacious flybridge, providing panoramic views and a dedicated helm station.
- Interior Layout: The interior is designed for comfortable living, with a well-equipped galley (kitchen), a spacious saloon (living area), and private cabins.
- Sail Plan: The standard sail plan typically includes a mainsail and a self-tacking jib, making the yacht relatively easy to handle for shorthanded crews.
- Sustainability: Lagoon has emphasized eco-friendly features in the Lagoon 51, including options for solar panels and hybrid propulsion systems.
The Lagoon 51 is marketed as a comfortable and capable cruising catamaran suitable for both coastal and offshore sailing.
