She's a 2023 Lagoon 42, almost zero hours on the engines, loaded with watermaker, solar, lithium and electric winches, going to auction with a starting bid of just €100,000. On paper it's the deal of the year. In this video I'll tell you why I wouldn't take her if you handed me the keys.
The Lagoon 42 is the best-selling cruising catamaran ever built. That's exactly the problem. I break down how these boats are actually built, how they actually sail, and why "as good as new" doesn't fix what was wrong from the factory. We'll cover why a near-new cat lands at auction for a fraction of its replacement cost, and the real math you need to run before that starting bid seduces you.
Watch to the end for the one number that tells you when to bid and when to run.

No Boat Sails Like its Published Polar
No cruising boat sails like its published polar. The PredictWind data hub records your instruments over time so the algorithm learns how your boat actually moves, which is invaluable offshore. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
You’re Killing Your Engine By Letting it Sit
An engine that starts clean, runs steady, and doesn't smoke is in good shape. Check the belts, hoses, and pumps, but most importantly...actually run it. One left sitting wears out faster than one that's used. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
