Namaste

Description

Referred to as the Lagoon 42 TPI, Namaste should not be confused with the more recent Lagoon 420 catamaran. Built to yacht grade specifications by Tillotson Pearson, this catamaran has been meticulously maintained and upgraded throughout her life. If your goal is cruising Mexico (or elsewhere), this is a turn-key boat. She is ready to cruise and requires nothing more than your personal effects. First introduced in 1991, the Lagoon 42 is a boat of style, build and layout quality that accelerated the popularity of the cruising catamaran in the USA. The Lagoon 42's were made by TPI with their state of the art resin infusion process, and designed by the innovative French naval architects Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost. The optimized hull construction using balsa and vinyl ester resin saves weight, which improves performance and sea-keeping. With striking good looks the catamaran received a lot of attention at her introduction to the market. Accentuated curves of the bridge deck cabin give the design panache as well as keeping the windage low and allowing her to point higher when close hauled. Only 51 TPI’s were manufactured in the United States, most of them were the charter model, Namaste is the rare owners model and was number “50”made in 1996. She is a thorough blue water cruiser with excellent seakeeping, handles easily, points well and can cruise at high average speeds in comfort. Awarded Sailing Multi-hull and overall Boat of the Year 1991 by Sailing World.
