Lagoon 42

Automatically translated. View original

A lively yacht, the batteries barely last through the night, but this is very good compared to older catamarans. A good working desalinator, sails, and equipment in general all worked well. I was pleasantly surprised that it sails relatively well on a close reach. The fishing rod from the charter came with an elusive squid, bring your own lures and a hook for pulling out fish - due to its absence, we missed out on a great tuna!

Recent boat, comfortable, nothing to complain about except for the battery autonomy which leaves something to be desired when the fridge and freezer are plugged in (2 days before the end of our cruise, the freezer was empty, so we turned it off and saw a big difference in battery autonomy. A generator should be considered. We were 7 people.
The helm station is great with a chart integrated into the GPS (I didn't need to use my nautical charts).
The cabins are comfortable and well arranged for storage.
The saloon is practical with storage under the benches.
We left from Eden Island with a very friendly welcome from Sylvain, the Seychellois are very nice and helpful, especially in the small port of La Digue.
We chose to do our own provisioning (there is a large and well-stocked STC not far from the departure base) much cheaper than the Spar in Eden Island.
We also chose to take a boat without Wi-Fi on board, which was not always easy for our daughters, but in the end, we shared other things...
We didn't have very nice weather (even though it was dry season: July), when we slept on the buoy in Ste Anne Bay in Praslin, the buoy chains of the pontoon were torn off by the swell during the night, the Seychellois said they had never seen that...
I hope this review helps you ;-)
