I'm shocked anyone would buy the 450 these days without having the bulkheads inspected.

Another failed sailing channel.

Leanne we're thinking of you. When are you back on The Coast? Or Vancouver?

Why not use a aluminum or a steel bar instead of plywood? This is unacceptable for a boat selling for 1 million brand-new.

Welcome to Fiji

That is very fancy navigation equipment, are the days of celestial navigation over ? Do you mind if I forward to a friend in Canada who has a daughter in Fiji ?

Such slipshod workmanship on a $350,000 boat.

How was the performance of the sail? What is the top wind speed you have flown it?

loved that view of Tonga, would love to go there but how do I pull that off?

As a boat builder I am always horrified when I see the appalling design and build quality, is this one OK , depends on your standard.

Enjoyed your channel! Just Subscribed.I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!

I am surprised you didn’t stop by the island groups of Haapai which between Vava’u and Tongatapu where Nuku’alofa is

Beautiful

It's a known manufacturing defect, has to be fixed regardless unless you want the next owners to deal with it. Lagoon should assist all owners with repairs.

Wow, talk about off the beaten track,. A wonderful trip . Thanks for the video

what an amazing shark dive..wow is that something...

The sharks look peaceful. Not hungry.

Your particular boat probably has not seen sea states intense enough to cause the type of evidence that so many others have. It may only be a matter of time, in your case.

"Promosm" 🙃

The BH are in the process of buckling....stay close to shore

This is not nice at all. Minor though it seems to be, this is structural damage and there is no guarantee that it will not turn into something major in time. Lagoon used to be my favorite brand of catamaran. No more. The half-assed look of the carpentry job that seems to characterize most unseen plywood parts on the boat as well as the company's reaction to complaints about failing bulkheads (along the lines of "you are to blame not us") certainly do not inspire confidence in the builders of this brand. Very short-sighted indeed.

that is amazing - love it!

Such vibrant colours and a nice healthy coral batch. Lovely.

FLORIDA 🏖️⛱️💯

More vicarious travel and adventure, thanks! Better wet weather than -25.

While you have it open, I would reinforce the bulkhead with stronger plywood or possibly 1x6 screwed together then glassed.

Like the ostrich head in the sand😂

Good luck

Saludos ! Esta fabuloso!

The water looks incredible!

Doesn’t floating the chain affect your holding power? Do you increase your scope to compensate?

Nice

Lagoon is a disgrace. They know they have a problem and it’s all theirs. I can not believe they deny all responsibility and abandon all those owners. If you have a Lagoon and the bulkhead is not yet failing be assured it’s just a matter of time. Your bulk heads will buckle. It’s a defect built into the boat and known as a latent defect, meaning it will eventually fail. There is no way on earth I will ever buy a Lagoon, unless there is a document video of all repairs, a engineers certificate from Lagoon and a life time warranty from Lagoon. This just will not happen. Feel so sorry for all you Lagoon owners. The Lagoon boats are a bomb ticking and will always be viewed as a LEMON. THE BULKHEADS WILL EVENTUALLY BUCKLE AND FAIL.

Thanks for sharing. Love to see these far away places.

Yeah !!! What a trip. We are happy to watch your adventures.

I would want a sailboat without all of the paneling trim covering up the structural strength members. It gives you easy inspection and lightens the boat considerably. Imagine if a boat trimmed out like to Lagoon got holed. How would you even get to the damage to repair it in a timely manner other than going over the side in potentially rough seas. Bad design.

My friends this is a Wonderful video, I truly enjoyed it. Thank you very much for sharing. Wishing you happy and safe sailing.

Wonderful video, I really appreciate it and enjoyed it. Thank you very much for sharing. Dez.

Lagoon catamarans supporting their people gives me faith in the manufacturer. As long as they keep up with the repairs and are not forced to do a bunch at once they should continue to produce boats. Good job lagoon.

Why are all the fish on the equator always drunk?

Loved the sunset scenery. Always enjoy following your adventures. Thanks for sharing!

Hope you have a great crossing… see yah later…

Can't believe how much plywood is in these boats, very old school, you would think that the high stress areas would be foam, fibre glass. and carbon fiber for strength and lightness.

Hope you get your visa soon. Wish you fair winds and following seas. 😊

At the opening, I was wondering how you going to fit a catamaran onto a BC ferry?

LOL.. that lagoon 70 is a big boat!!! Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your videos.

Some really great scenery. Thanks for sharing! Steve
