This 39-foot design by VPLP keeps the signature with vertical windows and overall appearance of all modern Lagoon models, but made significant changes to the rig and hulls to improve sailing performance. Most importantly, the mast and centre of buoyancy of the hulls are now much farther aft. The bows are also very fine and plumb to maximize waterline length. Moving the centre of buoyancy in a boat changes everything, including the structure needed to support the loads. Normally, the mast on a cat is stepped over the main bulkhead at the forward end of the house. But because there is no bulkhead under the mast on the 39, Lagoon had to install an unobtrusive compression post at the edge of a galley counter, supported, by a husky bridgedeck, comprising a strong composite beam with stringers that transfer rig loads to the hulls. This grid is also tied into the fore and aft bulkheads, making for a square, stiff structure. This cat has served four seasons for a French Charter company in Corsica under professional care and maintenance, before privately used by the French owner and finally in 2022 bought by the current second owner, who sailed the cat around the Baleares. The cat is berthed on the mediterranean coast in Spain, ready to be viewed on appointment and to be handed over to the next proud owner for the sailing season 2025.
