There is a
hatch above the helm from where you can look over the boat. Actually I thought the helm station on the
Lagoon 440 looked weird. Each to his/her own I guess.
Bridgedeck clearance on the Fusion is 800mm. I haven't been able to find the bridgedeck clearance spec on a
Lagoon 440. Not even on Lagoon's own website. I Wonder why?

At the recent Hog's Breath
multihull rendezvous, a Fusion 40 often finished in front of a new FP Eluthera 60. I think it would have done better than a Lagoon 440, but no-one cared to enter one in the event.
