[MHml] Multihull delivery gone badly wrong

[Alan Christoffersen]

Its always sad when lives are lost.

Don't Lagoons have emergency exits/entrances so in the case of a flip, the 
crew can get into a protected room?

I must say - IMO,  they represent some of the worst trends in catamaran 
design - for ocean going vessels that is. As a coastal cruiser for use in 
protected waters they are probably fine,  but there is obviously a large 
market out there -where the colour on the countertop and the curtains are 
important sales factors..  Does anyone think they look nice?  OK Price is 
low, so m3/? is very good.

Sorry - I just couldn't resist the comment, having spoken to a salesperson 
on a Lagoon at the La Rochelle boat show , who kept on about how great they 
sail, sometimes over 10 knots!!!  they just seem clumbsy and downright 
ugly.

Best Regards/Med venlig hilsen

Hi,

Does anyone have further information about this accident where two crew 
were
rescued and the skipper perished while on a delivery between France and the
US? I understand it to be a Lagoon 380
