LAGOON 39

The 39 is a catamaran which offers an impressive feeling of space and volume. The work carried out by moving the rig aft has allowed the forward end to be freed of the mast support strut, giving a totally uninterrupted view forward.

A real plus for a family crew, making this 39-footer a successful travelling companion.
