A well-equipped owner's-version cat with a powerful sail plan, twin Yanmars, and B&G electronics throughout.
The Lagoon 42 has become one of the most recognizable cruising catamarans on the water today, and S/V Aquaholic — a 2018 owner’s version — is a strong example of why. Walking through the boat on video, it’s clear this hull has been outfitted with serious offshore cruising in mind, from the sail handling systems at the helm to the power generation below.
Helm and Sail Handling
The raised starboard helm offers clear sightlines to all four corners of the boat, with running rigging led aft through Spinlock clutches to a pair of electric Harken winches. A full B&G electronics suite — chartplotter, radar, AIS and Tri Data — sits within easy reach. The sail plan is genuinely powerful: two stand-up Karver halyard blocks on the forepeaks are ready for downwind sails, and the self-tacking jib furls and unfurls directly from the helm. Boom height is set thoughtfully for both stowage and reefing.
Power and Propulsion
Below, S/V Aquaholic carries a 13.5 kW Cummins Onan generator — enough to run heavy AC loads, including air conditioning and battery chargers, while underway. Twin Yanmar 57-horsepower diesels drive folding propellers, and one of the smartest features of the platform is on display here: the forward-facing engine compartments, which help prevent water ingress in a following sea. The house battery bank lives in the starboard engine locker, keeping service access straightforward.
