Designed by the renowned French naval architecture firm Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost, this compact cruising catamaran represents an early entry into the production multihull market during the 1990s. Built by Jeanneau in France and TPI in the USA between 1991 and 1998, only 41 units were produced, making it a relatively rare find among cruising catamarans. At just under 37 feet overall with a generous 20-foot beam, this fractional sloop-rigged catamaran offers impressive interior volume and deck space while remaining manageable for a small crew. The twin keel configuration provides excellent directional stability and allows for convenient beaching or drying out in tidal areas. With a moderate displacement of 11,833 pounds and 839 square feet of sail area, the boat delivers respectable performance while prioritizing comfort and stability. The design philosophy emphasizes coastal cruising and short-handed sailing, making it well-suited for couples or families seeking the space and stability advantages of a catamaran without the complexity of larger vessels. Its shallow 4-foot draft opens up cruising grounds inaccessible to deeper monohulls, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively straightforward maintenance. This model helped establish Lagoon's reputation in the production catamaran market.
