not the engines then?

nope, apparently not after seeing the meters.

Been a sailor for three years. Can confirm you are right!

Thanks. Nothing that exciting just some pooled rainwater splashing out

@@waterdragon4944 clearly looks like water on my computer. I guess it was my phone's small screen.

Still around, have a couple more videos worth of footage that I've been too busy to put up.

The engine is only on for the last bit. As the speed of the wind increases, you have to reduce the amount of sail up in order to reduce the strain on the rigging and keep the vessel under control. You have to start doing this around 25 knots of wind plus or minus. At 45 knots, the sail up is either very tiny or you are using bare poles, ie just the force of the wind on the boat, without any sails up. It is also getting close to the point where storm tactics such as drogues or sea anchors are needed. In this video, there is just a tiny bit of the jib out for the first part.

I'm not sure why they left it like that. Anything that you can see is painted, but under the hatches it is not. It does allow you to see the core, perhaps it allows any damage or hull problems to be seen directly.

I lived in Nanaimo for 4 months on the dock in the municipal marina.

Hi Scott I am a huge fan of your channel. It was one of my inspirations for doing this. I always tell Scott M. Well, I did a UA-cam video. I'm no Scott D. but I did my best!

BCCP Pilot yes the heater is pretty good. If ordering again I would get more of the options factory installed vs locally installed. The slight cost savings is for the most part not worth the waiting. There are vents in the bedrooms and at least in the owners bathroom with temperature controls and possibly vents without controls in the other heads. I can't remember that exactly or how many vents are in the salon. I will try and get back to you next time I am on the boat.

Thanks for the info, anything else you can advice on will be great

olivier brossy, it had 5 full sized adults on board, close to full fuel and I think full water in the double tanks. However no provisions, no clothing or personal items. After being on the boat longer in different currents and conditions I am going to say the boat speed is probably inflated by half a knot or so at these higher speeds. It is definitely more about comfort than performance on this boat but it is nice to know it can still go pretty good. Plus it was about 2 degrees Celsius outside at the time. Code zero was getting us wind speed at around 4 or 5 knots later this summer as well.

thank you for your reply! Enjoy sailing! bye

William Victor Thank you for the feedback!

cynikalX Thank you.

cynikalX Thanks for asking. You can find the charter rates and contact info here: www.nanaimoyachtcharters.com/sailboat-charter-rates-info/ Charter rates are in Canadian dollars and I have asked them to further discount the off season rates. The contact info for booking is on that page as well. You have to call them directly for up to date rates, specials and availabilities.

Phil RIta thanks for the kind words. Can you believe this was taken in February in Canada?

Hi Eduardo, thanks for the comment. Since the boat is in charter, the manual flush toilets were chosen deliberately for their reliability. Lagoon has the electric toilets as an option on the Lagoon 42. I would have considered them if I was buying it for personal use only. There is a lot of debate on the topic, for example here... forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/173217-electric-vs-manual-head/

Hi Andrey, that's about where it hit 3 knots. It can get up to about 9 knots in Gabriola Passage. There are some good youtube videos of kayakers on it at higher speeds. Skookumchuk Narrows has even better videos, where it gets up to over 17 knots.

Thanks Laura!

Thanks Peter, I bought mine based mainly on the video from the Lagoon website, never having seen one. I am happy with the boat obviously and hope you will be too!

Thanks Jose, look forward to seeing your videos from yours!

Yes Dean, the three big things to worry about here are logs in the water, rocks just under the water and the big fluctuations in tide and currents which make timing journeys through the passes important.

Thanks Dean! Can't wait for the summer to really start here. Worst weather of any year I can remember so far. We were lucky to catch a nice day.

Tim Hansen, I'm not sure of the model. There is only the one heater but there are vents and controls in all the cabins and the large washroom as well as in the salon.

Tim Hansen, thank you for the comment, could you please be more specific about what you want to see?

Can you see all the amps go in and out?

Dean Collins I was initially thinking the same thing. My worry would also be about a battery or dc electric fire in the engine compartment where the switches are. Getting to the fire extinguisher port is easier to do in real life than it seems in the video, and I would prefer to have a separate engine compartment from the main hull as opposed to having the engine inside the hull, as some cats have the engines right under the beds. I don't know enough about the design and safety process or thinking to comment fully on it. I will see what I can figure out and if I should be doing any modifications. Other suggestions or comments on this are appreciated.

Dean, You can certainly add an automatic fire extinguisher system inside the engine compartment. You could also add a remote shutoff for the fuel valve. You are limited in terms of where you can have the extinguisher port, but it is quite accessible if you need to use it.

Yep I guess that's one of the issues when you are limited to 42ft.....how to fit everything in. Still looks a great boat though some bits seemed to "squeak" and groan more than I thought they should while walking around. I guess at the end of the day you really do need to go to 50+ in order to have a true engine compartment "firewall". Now that you've had the boat for a while do you think there is any chance at all someone could be sleeping in the owners cabin if either motor was running? Or is that not really possible due to lack of insulation between the bed/motor even at low revs.

Dean Collins, yes there is a bit more squeaking than would be ideal. I've seen other videos commenting on this too. I will try lying on the beds with the engine running in a couple weeks when I am on it again and let you know. We are lucky here with so many great places to stop that I don't know if there will be much night time motoring for Water Dragon at all given its charter base location.

Tim Hansen I will check into it and let you know.

Hi Tim, Yes, the service batteries are charged from either or both engines on a Lagoon. Not the case with some other manufacturers

Thats fine, on Lucia 40 that i've chartert last year only one engine can charge the batteries But waterheater is only the port engine, right?

Tim Hansen, yes the water heater is only heated by the port engine.

TSS NCS thank you for the nice comment.

and the Lagoon 42 is an awesome boat

Marco Quiros thank you for the nice comments.
