The Lagoon 421 due to be launched in May is probably the surprise this year. She was developed after a thorough study of what users of this category of cruising catamarans require, and truly represents a summary of their expectations.

Naturally, she benefits from all the strong points the Lagoon 420 is famous for:
. outstanding comfort for a 42' catamaran (3 or 4 cabin versions available) including an independent washroom with toilet and shower for each cabin;
. a safe and comfortable deck layout (wide side decks, easy circulation, excellent overall ergonomics);
. the famous "seagull shaped" platform that prevents from slamming into big waves is continued forward so as to receive the anchor roller and an optional strut to fit a gennaker;
. and of course, the Lagoon 421 is also available with the Hybrid2 (diesel / electric) propulsion system.

The Lagoon 421 also features a large number of improvements directly inspired from numerous owners' suggestions:
. more dynamic lines and a lowered profile with the same comfort;
. a new, lowered fixed bimini for a better protection from spray and sun and reduced windage;
. optimized hull lines with a redesigned underwater hull shape aft;
. and for good performance in light airs, the Lagoon 421 is available with a square top mainsail configuration.
