New Zealand's Cat 1 for
offshore requires proof of window strength for catamarans (see excerpt below). Clearly there are a lot of Lagoons that have sailed
offshore and met their countries
regulations. Including the
ARC. The windows appear very thick and strong and rebated so a wave would press them against the
hull and not pop them out.
Would someone please help me with any evidence that they may have received from
Lagoon or how they met the
ARC or offshore requirements to prove the window strength in their
Lagoon yacht? This would be a big help.
Thank you,
Dave
