What was the catamaran market like back then?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Marc Van Peteghem:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There wasn\u2019t one! Yachties didn\u2019t really consider catamarans to be real boats. I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the early adopters of the Lagoon\u00a055s who were convinced that multihulls were <\/span><b>the<\/b> <b>ideal cruising machines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and yet were equally aware of the prevailing conventional view. To get the brand off the ground we had to make the catamarans look like a monohull, drawing a yacht with classically elegant lines. In fact <\/span><b>the<\/b> <b>Lagoon\u00a055, is basically an outline!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This elegance came at a price, reducing headroom below decks and offering somewhat limited clearance above water, flaws that were partially rectified with the Lagoon\u00a057.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Initially, the early projects were treated as if they were separate projects. How did this evolve into producing series of boats?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Marc Van Peteghem:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We owe the success of this amazing adventure to catamaran enthusiasts and their vision of yachting. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first Lagoons were built one by one at the Jeanneau Techniques Avanc\u00e9es yard under the direction of Jean-Fran\u00e7ois de Pr\u00e9morel. Series construction developed progressively as subsequent orders came in. In particular, Bruno Belmont began to nurture the development of the brand from the second project onwards and since then, he has been involved in the design of every single model. Following <\/span><b>the purchase of Jeanneau by B\u00e9n\u00e9teau<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Lagoons were assigned to the CNB yard under the direction of Dieter Gust who, realizing that we were witnessing <\/span><b>the dawn of the multihull era<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, began to put in place the building blocks of the industrial process we know today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>With the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/vplp.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=3f21a64983f6fe6e7d2e5d44f&amp;id=f4027a8d10&amp;e=1023bc8de7\"><b>second generation<\/b><\/a><b> of Lagoons, launched in 1997, you innovated with vertical glazing around the coachroof. That took some guts, didn\u2019t it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Marc Van Peteghem: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It caused quite a stir at the time, but seeing the concept become a mainstream feature a few years later was<\/span><b> the best kind of recognition.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> B\u00e9n\u00e9teau taking over the yard was an opportunity to rethink the entire range and Fran\u00e7ois Chalain (*), who wanted to drive the brand forward, pointed us in the direction of this solution. It was <\/span><b>an obvious architectural response to the \u201cgreenhouse effect\u201d that plagues sloping coachroofs.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Moreover it increased internal volume and deck space. It was an obvious but daring solution, and we had to have enough elbow room at the yard too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lagoons have often been pioneers in terms of architecture (gull-wing design of the underside of the saloon, mast stepped further aft, flybridge\u2026), and they also established a certain style. What did Patrick le Qu\u00e9ment bring to the table?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Mathias Maurios:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Patrick joined us for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vplp.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=3f21a64983f6fe6e7d2e5d44f&amp;id=c2bf5d8ccb&amp;e=1023bc8de7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fourth generation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for the Lagoon\u00a039 in 2013. He was and still is a leading figure in automobile design and <\/span><b>he taught us about curves!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> His first job was to sculpt the bow at the hull-deck interface to give it its diamond shape. Initially his input was in small doses but later he became a driving force. Today the Lagoons all feature a very sculptural design. Patrick continues to collaborate with us and <\/span><b>he<\/b> <b>coaches our own designers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Marc Van Peteghem:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> He also pointed us in the direction of <\/span><b>new applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as Alias. Retracing Lagoon\u2019s history is like looking back at the development of naval architecture, its techniques and tools. From paper plans which have a tendency to distort, to the fully digital solutions of today. And meeting some great people along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Turning to the present day, how does the new Lagoon\u00a060 (unveiled in Bordeaux on 6 March) fit into the company\u2019s range?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Mathias Maurios:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s the link between Lagoon and Lagoon Yachts,<\/span><b> a catamaran with an unhindered view of the sea.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From head to stern, nothing interferes with the panorama. You never lose sight of the horizon thanks to the exceptionally well integrated glazing. It\u2019s what we call the \u201cin and out\u201d, an essential criterion for boats designed for sailing in the sunnier parts of the world, and on this model it works very well. We have spent more than 5,000 hours of design time on this <\/span><b>Lagoon\u00a060<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including architecture, structure, style and digital modelling. Everything has been drafted down to the smallest details, which makes itself felt in terms of integration and perceived quality. The \u201cWow!\u201d factor is there!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #6c879a;\"><b><i>\u201cWe need to make cats more accessible.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>What\u2019s next for cruising catamarans?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Mathias Maurios:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I think the next big step will focus on <\/span><b>simplifying sail handling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The deck spaces provide extraordinary life experiences but we need to facilitate access to these boats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Marc Van Peteghem:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yes, you can think whatever you like about how catamarans are going to develop, but using the power of the wind to explore the world in your own little house on the water is an enchanting promise. Experienced yachties will always enjoy pulling on the lines, but does that mean the others have to content themselves with motoring? We need to take into account how people intend to use their time on the water, and the skills they possess, to <\/span><b>make cats more accessible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are plenty of avenues to explore, such as wingsails, electric propulsion for \u201cmotor sailing\u201d, and enhancing the possibilities for sailing in light winds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mathias Maurios: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lagoon and VPLP have been fortunate in that <\/span><b>they work together closely<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, understand each other and have evolved in parallel.
