Would you like a free Beneteau or Lagoon ?
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 |

It's interesting to see that Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot are on John Neal's list of recommended offshore boats whereas Beneteau and Jeanneau are not. http://www.mahina.com/cruise.html This link doesn't seem to be working right now but you can still find the list at www.archive.org. |

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. BENETEAU 473 LAGOON 380S2 Popeye Gaz JG |

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! |

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.) -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
