Re: Lagoon 400 Bulkhead an issue?

A well built balsa boat is much better than a badly built foam boat but then again a well built foam boat is much better than a badly built balsa boat, they each have properties that are...

Re: Lagoon 400 Bulkhead an issue?

Yet with all the weight saving techniques it still weighs almost 50% more than the comparable Seawind or Catana and has equal or less sail area.
