News - Lagoon is installing new diesel engines into Horizons' 420's, so that you will be able to enjoy all the features of the 420, coupled with the reliability, power (over 8 knots), and fuel efficiency (2 gallons total per hour at 8 knots) of the Yanmar diesel engines. With the conversion to diesel engines on our Lagoon 420's, we are anticipating not only more power under motor, but also under sail. The electric motor 3 bladed props will be replaced by much lower drag 2 bladed props, and with the removal of a ton (literally) of redundant batteries, the 420 will be able to lift her transom and kick her heels!

The Lagoon 420 catamaran, with diesel propulsion, benefits from wide uncluttered decks and stable motion underway, allowing easy movement around the yacht both under sail and at anchor. The design of the helm station allows the yacht to be sailed short handed, with all sailing control lines leading to electric winches easily operated from the helm position. Wide transom steps and swim ladders, makes access to the dinghy or a dip in the sea, very easy.

The rigid bimini top gives terrific protection from the Sun (and those occasional Caribbean showers) whilst giving easy access to the entire length of the boom to add the finishing touches for stowing the mainsail into the "lazy bag".

The interior exudes French flair in a sophisticated but understated manner. The light oak Alpi joinery sets off the natural hues of the upholstery and the ergonomic “galley up” design with stainless steel work surfaces, double sinks, triple hob, oven and spacious refrigerator and freezer adds to a very social saloon area. This area opens up through large companionway sliding doors to the cockpit giving an inside/ outside living area and fine surroundings for al fresco dining.

Four air conditioned, spacious and equally sized double cabins with en suite heads and showers, ensures that everyone aboard is accommodated in luxury.
