New Lagoon 400

[Lucky Larry]

Greetings All,

I've been reading posts here for a while now and this is my first post. I've been following the two or three discussions on the Lagoon 400 and it looks like the forum is pretty polarized.

My wife and I made the fifth purchase of a Lagoon 400 while we were at the Miami boat show last February. We've been anxiously awaiting the manufactor and delivery and as I type this it's making 15 knots somewhere in the Atlantic on the back of MCP Nicosia. Do Over, as we've named her, will be sailing out of Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Do Over will be available for charter through Sail Caribe (www.SailCaribe.com) for the next three to five years, depending on if it takes three or five years to get our cruising kitty ready and enough experience under our sails to convince the wife that we really can sail off into the sunset... and find our way back.

While I have read all of the comments that have been posted on the Lagoon 400, we'll be forming our own opinions based on our experiences.

We'll let you know what we think of it and how it performs and handles. Our first sail on Do Over will be Thanksgiving week so I should have our first impressions written around the first week of December.
