I didn't mean to consider you as a Lagoon salesman! You have one of the very few reports that isn't, and one of the reasons I have some confidence that the boat will be a reasonable sailer. If I can get 8 knts in 14 true in sloppy seas, that's good enough for me!

Absolutely no offence taken.
I am fairly inexperienced in Sailing so other reports are definately needed. I would not rely too much on good winds for the 9 Dec. Think this is traditionally a fairly quiet time here in Florida but would be good if some other people especially experienced sailors could take the test sail and hopefully experience the regeneration aspect. This was NOT demonstrated nor was motoring just on Batteries.
I am confident, or is that hopefull!!! that Lagoon will sort out the problems. Just wish they would keep us more informed. Bad news or whatever, at least stops the rumors etc and we know exactly what to expect. In my engineering lives, we have always gone by the mantra to confess early and often. When you do have good news the customer is happy and positivbely surprised but is informed, is part of the team and the problem and kept at bay from competitors.
