Re: Price of mast, sail and all rigging

Funny you should ask. I have a 2017 450F that lost its rig during Irma, but was otherwise largely undamaged. I ordered a complete OEM rig from US Spars as soon as I received the OK from my insurance...

Re: Insurance Claim

Re: Help with new boat spec.

TXNewbie - I went through this process about 16 months ago when I ordered my L450, which was delivered this January. I'd be happy to review the option list with you and discuss the choices I made,...

Re: Lagoon 450 Mast/Rig - Irma Damage

So glad to hear that your 450 suffered relatively minor damage. Sounds like you were quite fortunate. I'm sure I've seen Pura Vida in the BVI.

Re: Lagoon 450 Mast/Rig - Irma Damage

Agreed. For now she'll stay put (not that I have much choice). I have contacted Z-Spar for some cost/lead time information.

From the photos I have seen, it appears that Solicitude moved a little,...

Re: Lagoon 450 Mast/Rig - Irma Damage

Thanks, PaulinOz for the detailed information, and everyone else who has responded.

Re: Lagoon 450 Mast/Rig - Irma Damage

Lagoon 450 Mast/Rig - Irma Damage

Does anyone know if it's possible to acquire a complete build spec for a Lagoon 450? I know most, if not all, of the information is in the documents that were shipped with the boat, but don't have...

Re: Underwater Light Placement

Thanks Mike. Your lights look good.

Would you mind elaborating on where they're installed? E.g., are then below the aft bridgedeck pointing inward/downward at a 45 degree angle about 1' below the...

Underwater Light Placement

I know this topic has been covered here in the past, and I have read the other threads covering underwater lights (that I could find) on this forum. I have of course also looked around the Internet...

Re: How much can I responsibly afford to spend?
