What's Inside This 13 Year Old Ex-Charter Catamaran? [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@bhoits4147]

We love you guys and congratulations on the baby

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you!

[@sophiainoregon8768]

Congratulations you two on your first baby! Randi, you look so good and a beautiful dress too. Wishing you the best.

[@rohanbadenhop5944]

Hey Jordan and Randi, I’ve just been binging on a heap of your old blog tours and reading comments etc. I would like to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed the format - a quick down and dirty on the boat with lots of visual. For the project minded of us, there is enough inspiration “good stuff” and adventure “project challenge” blend that just keeps me coming back for more!! Good balance of reality vs smooth on the edit too. Keep it up. And thanks.

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Appreciate your showing the Lagoon 440

[@crashkahuna]

Nice tour and your comments spot on. Good to see what a heavily used model like this looks like. I like the straight up windows and nav station. The flybridge and jacuzzi in front would probably be deal breakers for me but for charter I can see the value.

[@thommeyer6356]

Always enjoy your boat reviews/tours...thank you. Even though we're confirmed monohull people, it's nice to see other options that are out there.

[@sum2automation]

Nice... Everything looks really real... lol. Compared to today's plastic and junk construction. If I had the time to rebuild repair 100%. I would truly Buy It! Yes, build back with some new technologies and improvements for large seas. Truly Awesome... if I only had the time, I wouldn't think twice about it. Thanks for sharing another look see :)

This sure looks like the same boat I have a picture of as being damaged in Hurricane Irma. Picture shows totally de masted with a roof from a building on top. I hope it is disclosed to a potential buyer she is a hurricane damaged vessel. I would share the picture but I don't think youtube will allow

[@christorrance2876]

My home town. Can't believe how much building has been done downtown in Fort Lauderdale. Glad I live in Arizona at 6500' now . That cat had a very nice layout. Wish it had some spit and polish done. Would have made a big difference in appearance if they are really trying to sell.

Great video thanks guys. Maybe one day I'll find an affordable one for me to go around the world on your channel.

Another good tour. This boat has a nice layout. Newbie question: How hard is it to stop the squeaky floors?

[@ronaldharris6569]

Slow and comfortable is the lagoon way .as for the vertical pilot house salon windows I like that. Sailboats aren't fast enough for benefits from slanted streamlining.

[@kirsten07734]

Thank you for using the word “pan” correctly. It’s a small thing I know but over time when a word is used incorrectly multiple times in every single video it starts to wear on the nerves. It’s a different channel that does that, not yours. The occasional mispronunciation or misuse of a word never used to bug me until that channel did me in like a little brother on a long trip poking poking poking. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to traveling, getting access, evaluating, filming, editing, and interacting with fans. Thank you so much!

I would be happy to travel the oceans on that boat

[@roadboat9216]

Thanks for the tour! Basically a nice boat. However. If you want to buy one, get a super good survey. A good number of Lagoons have had loose bulkhead issues. This is major work, expense and concern. Do you homework. This is a big investment.

[@skyak4493]

@@valtracy17 If you want to see dozens of these, but clean, go to BVI. This owner realized that there are more of these for sale than visiting buyers in the next year in BVI. Smart move to just let someone sail it to Florida and dangle it in front of wealthy urban evacuees. This boat is clearly tired, but don't be fooled by the same boat with the rust stains buffed off. It takes a survey to evaluate, not a camera.

[@valtracy17]

@@skyak4493 we so want a Catamaran but can not qualify for a loan due to their stipulations. So we are going to have to pay cash for whatever boat we purchase. Is it plausible to think we can buy a Catamaran for say $125,000 or less? I know we will have to put work into it but being new to all of this, what do you think? Monohull may have to be where we start.

[@CheersWarren]

It is useful to see a production boat/catamaran, but a little boring compared to the more interesting boats you find. I was recently looking at "sailboat listings" and while some listing are old or by owner there were lots of interesting lesser know brands of cats at much more reasonable cost. Some if these might make interesting comparison. This catamaran is really a daytime sailing type , that flybridge is no place to be on a cold night. Also having all the sailing controls up there make it hard for anybody else help out when somebody else is steering. There was a time when it was important with multi hulls to be able to release sheets quickly before being over powered, probably not a problem with this lagoon but if you were sailing from the inside nav. position and need to adjust something it's a long way to go! Randi I love your jacuzzi idea for the forward cockpit! We used to do that in a small sailboat we sailed on the Hot Chesapeake bay in the windless summer. We would block the cockpit drain and throw in a some buckets of water to 3-4" deep to cool off in! Cheers Warren

[@fxpthl]

Oh Randi, you must indeed be getting close to having your new crew member! You look lovely, round, but very lovely! This boat should be detailed show it looks better!

The Lagoon vertical windows will keep the galley 8 to 10 degrees cooler in the tropics.

[@z_actual]

The 440 is an iconic world capable cruiser you can easily live on for years. The owners cabin plan is usually in the port hull with the berth forward in a massive cabin and head/shower all the way aft. Accommodations in that hull plan are 'generous'. There were a few layouts for the main bridgedeck cabin, notably the nav is shifted central to stbd but is much larger design. Its usually to find AC and washing machines etc on private 440's, not so on charters which will always be 4 doubles. It doesnt seem to me to be practical to convert. As noted the pull down aft is for the table, sometimes the washer is fitted in the sink unit to port of cabin entry. The most prevailing feature of the 440 is the fly bridge, which gives a very powerful commanding view. Its rare but its still possible to take water on the flybridge so all the usual safety is required. I never liked the stair design, to me this is the weakest link in transiting to the bridge. A 440 will pull like a train with an asymmetric or triradial. The bimini fitted doesnt look stock, its off something else. although they had dodgers Ive never seen one on a boat. Yes the boat is meant for charter, that means warmer climes for cooler folks were added thermal heat is unwelcome. So vertical glass and the small brim above are good solutions for that. This one looks pretty beat up, but if the price is right.... if not there will be others in the present economic outlook, but I would look offshore to Mexico Panama Caribbean, mid Atlantic or the Med for best value.

[@kevinswanson3910]

[@svechappe6075]

' "Every boat is a compromise." No truer words spoken. Many of the negative comments below are from armchair sailors that have no concept of reviewing things in context. The only proper way to evaluate a boat is to take into account its design intent and its price point. I think you guys did a good job of that in this video. Keep up the good work. Solianis beat you to the baby finish line (or maybe not), so time to get it in gear and get that baby OUT!

[@LearningtheLines]

[@scyz2807]

Kind of hard to miss the "tour" of Randy's belly! lol So when is the baby due? Anyway, I think this cat may be the right price for someone that wants to do charters with it. It's an income producer, so to speak. But then right now we have Covid and not many charters going on - I suspect. I could also be bought by two (or four) couples. 150K or 75K a piece and they've got it. Scott W PS - It was almost a year ago that I met you guys at the US Sailboat Show!

[@glennbullock1212]

@@stavros13ful Still that does not instill confidence at what would be a helm station used when weather was less than ideal.

[@stavros13ful]

@@glennbullock1212 Of course not. You could only tweak the course by a few degrees, Which happened to me a lot when single handing from San Francisco to Key West via Panama. I'd think of it as a watch station. Anyting bigger, or when the wind veers, etc would put you above at the helm to where the sheets, etc. are led. The nav station is a good hideout with a view, for what you'd be doing most of the time anyway. The helm needs a dodger, then the design's too tall with more windage than I'd be comfotable with for a passage-maker.

Leave aside ugly, this thing is going to sail like a brick. That fly bridge raises the boom a lot, making the main small. She's wide, heavy with reduced sail area. Nice charter or Island hopper but I wouldn't want to Ocean cruise in one of these.

[@chefdan87]

Why not? Heavy, slow, stable and comfortable.

[@jamesanderson2381]

We chartered one of these and I thought it was going to be a slug to sail. Was pleasantly surprised when we cruised along at 10kts in 14kts of breeze. Maybe a couple of knots of current but still pretty good. My first time in a big cat thought. Compared to monohull sailing this is a racehorse. Motoring was a breeze too, 7-8 knots at low rpms. I know there are much more nimble cats but was amazed by the performce of this big girl!

[@Frindleeguy]

Very not as bad as you think. Nothing to wind though

[@netook8]

I want a cat so bad, But COVID and CANADA. It is impossible to find them up here and no one is allowed to leave the country without severe penalty.

[@Ms_Princess_Zelda]

That cat seems decent but the quality seemed a bit to be desired. The woodwork is particleboard and several items were broken and isn’t built to last. Fly bridge is good for charter so you can skipper without tourists being in your hair constantly.

It bugs me when people use Isinglass to describe PVC windows, when I use it to clear beer. from wikipedia :- "Isinglass (/ˈaɪzɪŋɡlæs, -ɡlɑːs/) is a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish. It is a form of collagen used mainly for the clarification or fining of some beer and wine. It can also be cooked into a paste for specialised gluing purposes. "! Nevertheless - okay cat - vastly overpriced and not great in northern hemisphere or foul weather.

[@tomd.3082]

If you spell "eisenglass" this way, you get the proper definition for window material

[@wombatdk]

For the condition and age it's in and the seeming lack of equipment, it's too expensive. The design is debatable, but my main gripes would be the helm position, the whole layout, moisture in places where it really shouldn't be with signs of mold. Navstation and salon are fine. Throttle control inside but no steering is just stupid. Decent cabins and heads, definitely showing its heritage as a charter cat: Too much sleeping space. I'm guessing with the catamaran craze this may find a buyer, but honestly, at $300k you can just as well buy a new one for a little more.

I really cannot stand any Lagoon I see. It's like 20 years ago someone at Lagoon decided that catamarans needed to be as ugly as possible, and built to the lowest possible quality standard while appearing to be high end... I mean, it's worked out nicely for them I suppose, but I don't think I would ever even charter one, much less purchase one new, and even much less purchase an ex-charter version.

[@TheJeffrey575]

Over priced. I can see spending $100,000 updating the boat for blue water. The fly bridge needs some expensive retrofitting. The heads are nasty and expensive to update. The squeaking floor boards may be an indication of subfloor structural concerns. Hard to tell. The engine compartments are horrible. To achieve reliability to cross an ocean will require many hours and may require refitting if flooring is oil soaked making it a fire hazard.
