WALK THROUGH 2018 L450F 4/4 DREAM CHASER

Nice boat Gary! I always loved the 450F. Who doesn't want a flybridge seating area? 🙂

Bulkheads!!!!!!!

[@Catamarans]

In my opinion this issue is way overblown. Consider the following: - If you speak to any experienced rigger they will tell you that any catamaran that experiences tropical storm winds of over 80-90 knots will severely stress the standing rigging and cause the shrouds to separate from the bulkheads. They were not designed to go through hurricanes. This yacht PARLAY was hit with Hurricane Irma's 155 mph winds and turned over! This was the source of that problem.- There has never ever been a mast lost because of the bulkhead issue. - The source of this hysteria are the videos by the guys who bought PARLAY. a "Constructive Total Loss" and re-named it PARLAY REVIVAL. I surveyed and sold PARLAY to the previous owner seven months before Hurricane Irma ... We used a first class SAMS-accredited surveyor who did a complete rigging survey and I was there and helped him with that survey personally. I can tell you there were no signs of bulkhead issues before Hurricane Irma wrecked the yacht. That rig was in perfect condition. - There have been only 40 claims submitted to Lagoon out of almost 1,300 boats-built and many were in the areas that hurricanes Maria and Irma transited. Six of the claims were a result of some riggers in Martinique who received the wrong rig-tuning tension instructions and over-tightened the shrouds. So, only 34 yachts were affected by non-hurricane reasons. That is 2.6% of production which, in my opinion, is "next to nothing". Lagoon has stated that they will repair any 450's under age 6 that follow the claim procedure. - I used to own a boat yard in Florida and have fixed up 9 hurricane-damaged yachts and I'd never do it again because it's much more difficult to DIY today than 20 years ago. The PARLAY REVIVAL guys are discovering this the hard way. If they only would have spoken to me before making this CTL purchase decision I could have saved them and lot of "blood, sweat and tears" (not to mention money).

@@Catamarans Whoa….Whoa….hold on there sales person; to correct you there are over 50 vessels with bulkhead issues and very few of them experienced hurricanes. The fact is, this vessel, the Lagoon 450 has a design flaw in that the bulkheads have a very weak design subjecting them to failure after normal ocean use. The fact is, is that many are in use as offshore cruisers and not Tran-oceanic passage makers. If they all were used as trans-oceanic passage makers, they All would have bulkhead issues! Ask yourself this question: Why did lagoon change the bulkhead design after the Lagoon 450?

[@AORD72]

@@Catamarans lagoons are poorly designed. Look at the thickness of the bulkheads and the lack epoxy and glassing. The bulkheads are not strong enough compared to the weight of the boat. Even in moderate seas over time you would expect failures.

[@AORD72]

Exactly, lagoon's are one of the worst yachts you can buy.
