380

Vertical windows provide maximum visibility, whether you’re seated or standing in the salon. Vertical salon windows allow even those who are seated in the cockpit to have good visibility right through the salon and beyond to the panorama ahead of the vessel.

Simplicity reigns: the link between the interior and the exterior is of utmost importance, and that is why the galley on the Lagoon 380 becomes the logical connection between the salon and the cockpit without blocking the way, and the large bay sliding door is the ultimate passageway to and from the inside to the outside, and the resulting visibility, appreciated on every Lagoon, is exceptional. Vertical salon windows increase the usable space within the salon. In those cats with angled windows, the area under those "acres" of sloping glass are unusable. The situation is akin to some minivan automobile designs in which their large, sloping windows generate excessive heat in the sun, while only creating "acres" of marginally usable dashboard surface. By comparison, a salon with vertical windows allows for standing headroom right up to the windows. You’re able to use and enjoy both the full width and length of the salon.

The Lagoon 380 gives you: simple layout, safety and comfort on board. The sail control lines are led back to the helm, the engine access is through the transom.

• You enjoy complete protection from sun, wind, and rain
  The forward helm position makes it possible for you to enjoy the all-weather protection of a full-sized bimini and dodger. Alternatively, the substantial drawback of cats designed with helms at the aft corners of their cockpits is that the sliding mainsheet traveler between the two steering stations makes it impossible to install a bimini to shelter either helm. So, the helmsperson has no alternative to "baking" in the sun or "drowning" in the rain. 
  

• The Lagoon 380 has a quick hull, the result of trickle-down technology used in designing racing multihulls, where the design team of VanPeteghem/Lauriot-Pre'vost sets the standards of excellence.
