Description:

This VPLP design replaced the 420 and the 421 which were pretty big sellers for Lagoon (170 or so), so it had some pretty big shoes to fill. Read our Lagoon 410 review to get an idea how things have moved on since the 2nd Generation boats. In common with her other fourth generation sisters (the 40, 46 and so on), the 42 has a curvier look than her predecessors. It’s a design that has evolved from the third generation models like the Lagoon 400 (another top seller) and the 450. She’s solid and looks like she could handle a big sea. And then you have those trademark vertical windows in the saloon that maximize the living space and help keep the sun out of the saloon. You are not going to be sailing as fast as a C-Cat 48, but that’s not the point of the Lagoon 42. It’s a great sailing/comfort package.
