What does Jeanneau want the world to think with the acronym of “CCC” In the title? It’s the Coastal Cruising Catamaran. That’s it. Jeanneau was so transparent about the capabilities of their new cat, that they put it in the title. Thinking about racing to Bermuda? Look elsewhere. Designed by notorious sailing and design guru’s, Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin (America’s Cup & Olympics), they chose performance over comfort. To understand the boat, I really needed a quick history lesson on Jeanneau’s production timeline. In 1984 they started production of their first generation Lagoon boats. They started big too. The Lagoon fleets of 55, 57, 67 and 67s models were the first boats that were splashed starting from the mid 1980’ up into the early 1990’s. Beginning in 1992 the production of any new models stopped. Looking back into the history glass, one can see the writing on the wall. […]

| Construction: | The Lagoon 35 CCC is the first multihull in the world to have a hull constructed utilizing the SCRIMP infusion method of lamination. The resulting balsa-cored composite offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio possible outside of an autoclave process. The one-piece hull incorporates two high-lift keels, rigid enough to support the hull for soft grounding. Integral marine grade ply bulkheads are bonded with wide glass cloth tapes providing torsional stiffness to the whole structure. The molded deck is also balsa-cored except in high stress areas where dense core is used. |

All sail controls lead to three cockpit-mounted, self-tailing winches for ease of single handling. The Lagoon 35 CCC offers two queen-size berths in aft cabins. The athwartship-mounted berths are situated to provide comfortable sitting height headroom. The main cabin houses a galley and dinette area. The two-piece dining table and L-shaped seat offer flexibility and optional extra sleeping. The galley houses an icebox, a two-burner stove with oven, large sink with integral drain board and ample storage space. The molded one-piece liner incorporates a vanity sink, a manual marine toilet and a large shower area. A second optional head can be installed in the forward port hull. Each cabin-living area has a means of allowing air in and out plus adding light to the interior spaces. |
