NUDE LATITUDES

The Lagoon 440  has their trademark vertical panoramic cabin windows.  She is 44′ 8? in length, 25′ 3? in beam, and draws 4′ 3? per the design specifications. The bows are slightly raked with a straight sheer and swim platforms aft. The goal is to maximize interior volume. The rig has a fair bit of rake to it at 70′ bridge clearance. The Lagoon 440 features a centerline flybridge which sits the helmsman up high. Underneath, the rudders are set forward of the Yanmar saildrives to maximize space in the aft cabins. The hulls are voluminous and have mid-sized keels to improve tracking and minimize leeway. Displacement is a moderate 27,000 pounds. Construction of the hulls and cabin below the waterline is of solid epoxy laminate while the topsides are a composite cored sandwich of fiberglass, epoxy, and balsa with abundant framing throughout the interior for better strength and reduced weight. The high helm position provides excellent visibility when maneuvering. Instead of guessing where all four corners of the 440 are, you can see well but need a mate to catch the dock lines. There is a windlass with bridle forward for easy anchoring, trampolines port and starboard, and a centerline well with deep tackle stowage area.
