and after almost two years of ownership
of our lagoon 42 we decided to upgrade
our boat we felt like that even though
the lagoon 42 was an awesome platform to
sail around the world
and to cross oceans safely we still felt
the need for a bigger boat something
more comfortable one that would provide
even more comfort at anchor and on the
way we started our search we have ever
bought a boat you already may know that
you cannot have everything you must give
something up in order to gain something
else we looked again into lagoons on
Tampa shows leopards and wood runners
why you need it to be a production boat
I can give you two reasons for that
first replacement parts and a large
community of owners we may sail in very
remote locations and finding readily
available parts and maintenance would be
key for us I'm always thinking about my
boat's resale value the key to avoid
losses is to try to buy your new
catamaran negotiating a dealer's
discount joy can be used as an example
of that
we bought our boat in 2016 for 432
thousand euros and sold almost two years
later for $520,000 I truly feel that
some production catamarans can hold its
value extremely well
after careful analysis we decided to go
for a lagoon 46 this is a new model just
launched by lagoon this specific model
sits between the lagoon 450 and the
lagoon 52 we also chose a owners version
and on the starboard side of the boat
that's where our cabin is going to be
location that was very similar to our
excellent 142 when buying a new lagoon
usually you are directed to a dealer
that is close to where you live
trying to match your nationality and
sometimes even language you speak our
objective is to take the liver of this
vessel in Europe and sail it in our
spare time in different locations around
the world by the boat in the United
States did not make financial sense to
us
on our next video I will go through the
specifics of the configuration of our
boat what we chose based on our previous
experience what we will order from
factory and options we will install
after delivery at the end of this video
you can also find the 2020 European
price list for the lagoon 46 I'm sure
you have heard of that saying that the
two happiest days in a boat owners life
are the day that they buy a boat and two
the date of the sell the boat I would
not disagree with the first portion of
this statement by nanoo Lagoon requires
you to pay upfront between 20 to 30% of
the boats negotiated price and be put on
a waiting list of almost a year based on
the popularity of the model you have
selected the lagoon 46 earlier slot was
July of 2020 to be delivered English
habla Stallone France meaning that we
have a year to prepare and be ready for
our new Lagoon 46 catamaran having
already gone through the process of
delivery for joy English August alone
will help us speed up the process of
preparing the new boat for cruising just
like a new house that is delivered
without furniture and many extra options
choose to have a boat will need a full
list of extras depending on how you use
it the main categories of extras that
we're gonna focus on our safety
equipment kitchenware
cabin sheets towels pillows etc
medicines charts spare parts solar
panels additional communication
equipments and tracking systems just to
mention a few I will include a detailed
list of those items on our next video as
well
we expect to spend about 10% of our
boats value in preparing our boat for
blue water cruising thank you for
