If you like the feeling you get driving a bus and have everyone but the
helmsman watching where you have been rather than where you are going, get
the Lagoon. Otherwise I would much prefer the Bendytoe.
(But for that kind of money you can find some much better boats for long
distance cruising.)

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 :


BENETEAU 473


LAGOON 380S2
Popeye

I hope you are going to invite us all to the launch party. :-)

It could be quite a gala event.

Oh, Yes! Between the neighbors, news group members, web site visitors and
even vendors who have said they wanted to be at the launching I may have to
rent the old PJ yard in Savannah for the day. :-)

Don't forget the Spade anchor customers. I should get two tickets on
that alone. :-)

Let us know and we'll be there with a truck load of "libations".

and they lined up 2 by 2...
