Lagoon 421 Owner's Manual page 3

We share a common passion for the sea: we, LAGOON as shipbuil-
ders and you who want to live your passion on the Seven Seas.
We are delighted to welcome you to the great family of LAGOON boat
owners and we congratulate you on it.
This manual was meant to help you to enjoy your boat comfortably
and safely. It includes the boat specifications, the equipment provided
or installed, the systems and tips on her operation and maintenance.
Read this manual carefully before you put out to sea so that you can
make the most of her and avoid any damage and any trouble. Get to
know your boat before you sail.
We keep improving our boats as we want you to benefit from the tech-
nological developments, new equipment or materials and our own ex-
perience. That is the reason why the specifications and information
given are not contractual, they may be modified without prior notice or
up dates.
This instruction guide has a general purpose and it may mention some
equipment or accessories or deal with some points or questions that
are not relevant to your own boat ; if in doubt, refer to the inventory
that you received on delivery of your boat.
Our network of LAGOON authorized dealers will be at your dis-
posal to help you get acquainted with your boat and will be the
most qualified to take care of her maintenance.
If this is your first boat or if you change to a new type of boat which
you are not used to, get some training in boat control and sailing to en-
sure your safety and comfort. Your dealer, your international sailing
association or your yacht club will be very happy to recommend local
sailing schools or professional instructors.
Even if everything has been provided for and designed for the safety
of the boat and the safety of her users, don't forget that sailing highly
depends on the weather conditions, the sea condition, and that only
an experienced and very fit crew, handling a well-maintained boat can
sail satisfactorily.
The sea and wind conditions that correspond to the design
categories A,B or C are changeable and are dependent on the ha-
zards of unusually strong waves or gusty winds. Therefore total safety
cannot be guaranteed, even if your boat meets the requirements of a
category.
Always listen to the weather forecast before you put out to sea.
Make sure the sea and wind conditions will correspond to the
category of your boat and you and your crew are able to han-
dle the boat in these conditions.
