The Lagoon 400 is a French sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost as a cruiser and first built in 2009.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The boat is a development of the 1997 Lagoon 410.[8]

The design was built by Lagoon catamaran in France, 2009 to 2012 with 264 boats completed and then in its improved S2 version from 2012 to 2017, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][8][9][10][11]

Design

The Lagoon 400 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept diamond spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. A bowsprit and square-headed mainsail were optional. The hulls have nearly plumb stems, reverse transoms with swimming platforms, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel and twin fixed fin keels. The original production version displaces 22,531 lb (10,220 kg) and the S2 version displaces 22,818 lb (10,350 kg).[1][2][3][8][12]

The improved S2 model introduced improved galley cupboard storage, a new electrical panel and changes to the cabin layouts, as well as other minor interior cosmetic changes.[4][8]

The boat has a draft of 3.97 ft (1.21 m) with the standard twin keels.[1][2][3]

The boat is fitted with twin Yanmar diesel engines of 29 or 40 hp (22 or 30 kW) each, for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 106 U.S. gallons (400 L; 88 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 79 U.S. gallons (300 L; 66 imp gal).[1][2][3][12]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four to eight people with up to four cabins, with double berth cabins fitted fore and aft in each hull. The main salon has an L-shaped settee plus there is a U-shaped settee in the cockpit. The galley is located in the salon on the starboard side. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. Two to four heads can be fitted in the hulls. Cabin maximum headroom is 84 in (213 cm).[1][2][3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a gennaker of 818 sq ft (76.0 m2) or a code 0 sail.[1][2][3][8]

The design has a hull speed of 8.21 kn (15.20 km/h).[2][3]
