About the Lagoon 380 S2 Owners Version
About Lagoon 380
The Lagoon 380 is one of the most popular catamarans ever built and it’s easy to see why almost a 1000 of these great cats have been sold. As the world’s largest multi-hull builder, Lagoon got it right with the 380, which has a great combination of space, sailing ability, easy handling and modern design making this a great live-aboard catamaran. Hundreds of Lagoon 380’s have traversed the world’s oceans and they are common place in most anchorages in the Caribbean supporting their record for strength, reliability and proven ability as a cruising boat for a couple or family. This tried and tested design was perfected over the years and this 2007 model benefits from years of production beforehand to refine the design even further. The catamaran feels far bigger inside than its overall length would suggest.
This legendary Marc van Petegham and Vincent Lauriot-Prevost design was in production for 20 years and improved with the introduction of the 380 S2 (which Monty Mango is), which included the addition of large windows below decks to make spaces lighter and brighter, an additional winch at the helm, a larger helm seat and safety rail, improved ergonomics at the instruments panel, changes in the galley and many other small but useful improvements.
The vertical windows in the saloon help keep the interior cool by reducing the sun’s rays entering the living space. Construction is polyester and vinylester resin with solid glass used below the water line (to prevent water ingress into the core if the hull is damaged) and balsa sandwich for the hull above the waterline and the decks. Four water tight bulkheads are present. The cat will motor between seven and eight knots in the right conditions and can sail at speeds in the double digits when on its favorite point of sail – a beam reach.
With a draft of around 1.2m (3.8’) the boat can access particularly shallow anchorages for a skeg design catamaran.
Owners Version
Most Lagoon 380’s were produced as a four cabin two head layout for the charter market and they proved immediately successful due to their easy handling and large living spaces for a catamaran of relatively small external dimensions. Lagoon also produced a limited number of Owner’s Version 380’s with three cabins and two heads (one much larger than the other). The Owner’s Version, which has all the benefits of the four cabin layout, is a rarity and is a far superior layout for cruising. The master suite is fantastic for a boat of this size and utilises the entire starboard hull resulting in a good amount of floor space for easy maneuverability. A concealed sliding door closes this suite off from the rest of the boat making it self-contained master suite.
Additionally, the Owner’s Version includes double the wardrobe and hanging space to the other cabins, a good sized head with a separate shower room, increased head room above the bed, and desk and book shelf with additional storage space. This has been our full time home with two children for over a year, and the master suite has been a great escape as the children have one side of the boat and we can close ourselves off in the other for some peace and quiet!
Cockpit and Saloon
The large cockpit seats eight comfortably and opens to the interior with a sliding glass door and sliding window which opens to the galley, perfecting the concept of indoor/outdoor living. The fold out timber bar is a favourite feature and provides a convenient place to pass food or sit alongside while enjoying conversations with those in the saloon.
The navigation station has been raised and a standalone good sized freezer added underneath. This additional freezer storage means the boat can hold a sizable amount of frozen food for weeks away in remote locations. It has allowed us to provision in a cost effective manner as well as store large amounts of fish caught while underway. We can easily go for a month or more without having to visit a grocery store.
The saloon table can be lowered and a custom cushion (made in Nov 2019) drops in to make a large day bed or overnight sleeping for guests. This makes a great area for kids to play, sit or sleep while on passages and for those off-watch at night to sleep while being close to the person on watch in the cockpit.
Storage
The Lagoon 380 has tons of storage even in comparison to catamarans far larger. Ample storage exists under the saloon settee and separate chair near the saloon entrance. A custom pantry was added in the portside hallway making a great place for daily use kitchen items. A forth drawer was added in the galley to further maximize storage and a storage compartment was built in under the starboard side floor for additional food storage. The under bed storage is cavernous and can hold guest’s suitcases, spare clothes, engine spares, water etc. The forward hull storage is incredible and being an Owner’s Version the starboard side is even larger. This houses the watermaker and one can stand in the locker easily due to the depth. Each forward locker can accommodate countless water toys, fenders, buckets, spare diesel jugs, a spare outboard motor and so on. The anchor locker is large and well laid out. It easily accommodates the 100m of 3/8 anchor chain, a spare anchor with chain and rode, the generator and generator fuel cans. The adjacent locker is also large and can hold bulky items such as fenders, beach chairs, pram etc.
Off the grid living
The good sized tilting solar array provides all the energy needs for the boat and outputs 765watts. The watermaker happily runs off the battery bank and solar power and only during times of prolonged cloud cover or rain do we need to run the generator to make water or top up the batteries.
