A new Beneteau 473 costs about the same as a new Lagoon 380S2
(between $300,000 and $350,000).

They're built by the same group of companies (Groupe Beneteau).

And according to http://www.cruisingcatsusa.com/whyacat.php3
they also have approximately the same amount of interior space
(although the Lagoon has more cockpit space).

If you could get either of these boats for free (with a free slip)
which one would you choose ?

Please add your name to one of the lists below :

That is a tough choice. I think I'd go for the Lagoon because I've
never had a cat and I'd like to try one. Besides, I think it will take
less bottom paint.

Jeff - neither are my favorites, but I've voted with my wallet

I vote that "poopie" tries making it to Thailand in a Mac 26.

Perhaps less paint, but you have to tape twice the waterline. And
buff twice the topsides. Actually though, the cat is a bit easier in
this regard because they sit lower in the yard. I have to confess
that the underside of the bridge on my boat doesn't get the full
treatment!

Actually, it's a toss up about which is more traditional... don't forget the
Polynesians crossed the Pacific in multis. :-)

True,
But then again I prefer arrows to pitchforks...
