Drew Hakin is no stranger to ocean crossings. After plenty of research and hands-on experience, he chose the Lagoon 42 as the perfect catamaran for his global adventure, and it hasn’t disappointed.
“We looked around quite a bit, and investigated the opposition! We went for the Lagoon based on a number of things. The 42ft is the right size for us, and she has a good feel when under sail. She has a good mix of features we wanted in a catamaran… the combination of layout and space was just what we were looking for. Importantly, the Lagoon 42 sails well short handed. I am used to a large monohull, sailing single handed. Comparably, the 42 is extremely easy to sail.
The 42 is a very, very nice boat. I’d be hard pressed to fault it. Usually with a new boat, after a while you find things you’d like to be different, but there’s little of that with the Lagoon, it has been very well thought through.”
