Re: Bahamas entry fees
I'm in total agreement. In addtion, don't forget that the Bahamas cruising permit allows you to leave the Bahamas and return once during the duration of the permit. So if you wish to push on down to

Re: Deck hatch size
They are lewmar 60s. You can fit in a folding bike with full size wheels, but it's a real pain.

Re: reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
Bill , you're absolutely correct, in theory.? However, the reality of the single line reefing system on the 450 is problematic when deploying the sail with the reef lines hauled in (We did transgress

Re: reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
Saw the comments about friction and binding. When reefing properly there is very little drag/friction since the sail should be eased. They do load up when the sail is trummed at which point your not

Deck hatch size
Can anyone tell me the size of the opening of the three deck hatches across the front bulkhead of the Lagoon 421? I am trying to buy a folding electric bike and want to be sure that it will fit into

Re: reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
The better solution, considering all the bends that reef lines need to negotiate (each adding friction) before leading back to the helm (single line reefing) is to replace your cracked blocks with new

Re: [LagoonOwners] reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
Make sure you use blocks designed for high static loads like Harken esp s!

Re: [LagoonOwners] reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
You should replace with proper blocks.? I, too, have had less than satisfactory performance with lead rings on the 450 and replaced them with blocks, but it is a much bigger sail and the reef tacks

Re: [LagoonOwners] reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
Just a personal note. My 450S came with the rings at the reef points. The definition of "low friction" is a point of contention for me. The reef lines bind up frequently. I am planning on swapping

Re: [LagoonOwners] Catamaran Guru Rendezvous For ALL Cat Owners
You solicited on Lagoon forum, that would mean you are looking to make a lot of new friends. Networking It's all about transparency and misunderstood intentions. Addresses you collect at a boat show

Re: [LagoonOwners] Catamaran Guru Rendezvous For ALL Cat Owners
Joe, most of the attendees (20 boats so far) are people who own boats and are cruisers whom we personally know. They are not likely to buy another boat any time soon. So, no I am not "collecting"
