Our beautiful, blue water proven Lagoon 400 catamaran ‘No Plans Just Options’ is now for sale, having taken us easily to thirty plus countries during the last 4 years we’ve lived aboard.
Purchased in Croatia, never chartered or in a hurricane or named storm, she has been a fun, comfortable and safe boat with four cabins, three electric heads and even a laundry with 7kg washing machine!
We’ve looked after her carefully as she carried our family from Europe across the Atlantic, into the Caribbean and up and down East Coast USA where she is now for sale in South Carolina. Our plan was to sail her home to Australia but Covid changed this just after we’d spent a significant amount of money outfitting her with new standing rigging, house batteries, sail drives and upholstery early this year for a planned Pacific crossing.
We were initially attracted to her as this is the most space (and head room!) you’ll find on a 40 foot boat meaning you’ll easily fit all your personal items and provisions and benefit from two new Vitifrigo fridges and a 95 litre Dometic freezer (both 2018) plus a large galley with big oven and three burner stainless steel Eno stove.
Initially when purchased, we set her up to sail efficiently but comfortably as a blue water cruiser so she has 950w solar power, a big Shenker water maker and compact Honda 2200 generator plus a large hard bottom Caribe tender with a reliable Honda 20hp outboard (also purchased 2018).
With a choice of four sails including an asymmetric spinnaker with sock and furling gennaker you can easily broad reach or downwind sail to your next destination as required. Electronics include full AIS, autopilot and all wind instruments and electric winch at the helm plus plotter (with USA and Caribbean charts) and radar. She is complete with all safety equipment including 12 person life raft, EPIRB, 400 litre diesel tanks, extra fuel drums, two anchors plus drogue and reinforced cleats to handle even the most difficult conditions.
The saloon and cockpit with integrated helm offer a huge space for this size boat so you can socialise with ease plus new tasteful upholstery in the saloon (July 20) and grey matching cockpit cushions and covers/clears in graphite grey colour giving the boat a contemporary look and feel.
Below deck the cabins are airy and spacious with elegant beech joinery and large Lagoon style portholes plus large hatches. There are two skipper cabins on the foredecks and the bathrooms offer sleek cabinets and electric Jabsco heads that are easily maintained.
Overall this is a lovely boat in great condition. We are keen to see her go to a new owner who will set sail on a new adventure and values how special she is as much as we do. Located in Hilton Head, South Carolina and priced to sell, she is available to view. Please contact me for more information or to make a time to see her.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Downwind sail area: 132 m2/1421 sq.ft
Mainsail area: 56 m2/603 dq.ft.
Genoa area: 28 m2/301 sq.ft.
Gennaker area: 76 m2/818 sq.ft.
