The Lagoon 37 is a French catamaran sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost as a cruiser and first built in 1991.[1][2][3][4]
The design was initially built by Jeanneau in France, through a new division, Lagoon catamaran, which later became part of Construction Navale Bordeaux (CNB) and then the Beneteau Group. In the United States it was produced by TPI Composites. A total of 41 boats were built between 1991 and 1998, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Design
The Lagoon 37 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of balsa-cored bi and triaxial cloth fiberglass, with isophthalic resin. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig. The hulls have raked stems, reverse transoms with steps to swimming platforms, twin internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel and fixed fin keels. It displaces 11,833 lb (5,367 kg) and carries no ballast.[1][2][13]
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keels.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with twin British Perkins Engines or Japanese Yanmar diesel engines, for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 52 U.S. gallons (200 L; 43 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with two central cabins and a cabin in the port pontoon, each with a double berth. There is a central salon with an eight-seat U-shaped settee. The galley is located in the port pontoon, amidships. The galley has an island configuration and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and double sinks. The head is located aft in the starboard pontoon and includes a shower.[1][2][13]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.74 kn (14.33 km/h).[2]
