The Lagoon 500 is a French sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost and first built in 2005.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Design
The Lagoon 500 is a recreational catamaran. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. The hulls have raked stems, reverse transoms with swimming platforms, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel on a flying bridge and twin fixed fin keels. Base specifications state displacement of 38,808 lb (17,603 kg). [1][2][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.58 ft (1.40 m) with the standard twin keels.[1][2][3]
The boat is fitted with either 55 hp (41 kW) or 75 hp (56 kW) diesel engines, with saildrives. Fuel capacity is 254 U.S. gallons (960 L; 211 imp gal) and fresh water capacity is 254 U.S. gallons (960 L; 211 imp gal).[1][2][3][10]
The design has three to five cabins. The main salon has an L-shaped settee while the rear cockpit lounge has a U-shaped settee. The galley is located on the port side of the main salon and is U-shaped. Cabin maximum headroom is 80 in (203 cm).[3]
