Lagoon Rounds Out ‘Big Four'

The Lagoon Sixty 5 sailing catamaran rounds out the brand’s current ‘big four’ of new models and comes out a year after the Sixty 67 powercat (REVIEW, Issue 53) debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

The Sixty 5 is the French builder’s second-biggest sail model and is inspired by her big sister, the Seventy 7 that debuted in 2016 at Cannes, from where the first hull eventually made her way to Hong Kong for her Asia debut before heading to her home in the Philippines.

The Seventy 8 powercat premiered at Cannes the following year, with the model’s first hull in Asia arriving in Singapore this year courtesy of dealer Simpson Marine, which last year sold Sixty 7s into Malaysia and Taiwan.

The Sixty 5 is the sailing sister of the Sixty 7, but despite the name, has a greater overall length of 67ft 5in (20.55m), exactly a metre longer than her hull length of 64ft 2in (19.55m).

She’s also the successor to the acclaimed 620, which was launched in 2009 and upgraded with a Nauta interior in 2012, and has proved popular across Asia’s warmer cruising destinations including Thailand, the Philippines and the tropical island of Sanya, ‘China’s Hawaii’.

Like the Sixty 7, the Sixty 5 has streamlined bows, a rounded cockpit, high freeboards and, above all, great volume, as well as a beam of 33ft (10m).

Constructed at the Lagoon headquarters in Bordeaux, where the brand’s 50ft-plus models are built, the yacht was drawn by the brand’s trusted design team of VPLP for naval architecture and Italy’s Nauta Design for the interior. The result is wide circulation spaces on board and a modern, well balanced silhouette.
