Apparantly there is a list of 350 modifications already drawn up from lessons learned. I don't believe this is unusual for a new boat. Noone at the show was clear what was on the list but I have had promisses that I will be sent the list once it's available.

Would of course be interesting to know, what these problems exactly are, but up to now we have no further information. |
I think this is no more than unanticipated delays setting up the production line. Lagoon has, understandably, been focussed on getting the boats to the shows and have been deferring other commitments. To get Hull #2 to Annapolis they had to ship it rather than sail it over so the timeframes were tight.

The small genset has no power left over to charge batteries when driving full speed. We went for the larger genset as we don't want this compromise.
I heard that Lagoon have a 10 year plan by when all their boats will be hybrids. They also stated that they designed the L420 hull around the electric motors (rather than retrofit into a design aimed for diesel) so it may not even be wise to consider putting a diesel into this boat.
