Hello, I'm Tony. We own a 2014 Lagoon 39, SV Mardi Gras. She is a 4 cabin 2
head "charter version". We ordered her fromTMM in the
BVI and have her in their
charter fleet. We really enjoy her as do many of the clients who have chartered her. I really like the ability to sail her singlehanded, my Admiral is always with me but it's nice to be able to manage all of the
sheets from the
helm. I've tacked her many times with just the auto pilot and then a little sail trim afterwards. My admiral loves the bathroom arrangement, having a totally enclosed
shower is very nice, keeps the rest of the room dry. We ordered her without air con and without genset and have since installed 3 ea Dometic Turbo air con units and a 9KW
Northern Lights Generator. We had to remove the second
water tank to have enough room to install the
generator. We are installing two new
water tanks under the forward berths to restore the total water capacity to 158 USGal.
Issues:
the block on the jib sail track can knick the
fiberglass when the jib luffs- solution welded a stop to prevent the block from being able to go back too far.
Bottom paint flaked - removed
paint, applied barrier coat applied new
bottom paint
No Good path for forward
mooring lines when attaching to
mooring ball- installed bow chocks to
route mooring lines inboard from
cleats
