DESIGN CATEGORIES
CATEGORY A
The boat is designed for sailing in winds that may exceed force 8 on
the Beaufort Scale and in waves of a significant height of 4 m and
more and the boat is to a large extent self-sufficient.
Unusual conditions such as hurricanes are excluded.
You may meet with such conditions when you sail long crossings, for
instance across the oceans, or close to the shore when you are not
protected from the wind or waves over several hundreds of nautical
miles.
CATEGORY B
The boat is designed for sailing in winds that may exceed force 8 on
the Beaufort Scale and in waves of a significant height of 4 m and
more and the boat is to a large extent self-sufficient.
You may meet with such conditions when sailing at open sea, or close
to the shore when you are not protected from the winds and waves
over several hundreds of nautical miles. You may also meet with
such conditions when sailing quite important inland seas which could
produce waves of this height.
CATEGORY C
The boat is designed for sailing in winds that do not exceed force 6
on the Beaufort Scale and in the corresponding waves (waves of a
significant height inferior or equal to 2 m).
You may meet with such conditions in exposed inland waters, in
estuaries and in coastal waters with mild weather conditions.
CATEGORY D
The boat is designed for sailing in winds that do not exceed force 4 on
the Beaufort Scale and in the corresponding waves (occasional 0.5 m
high waves at a maximum).
You may meet with such conditions in sheltered inland waters and in
coastal waters in fine weather.
NOTE:
The significant height of a wave is the average height of the upper
third of the waves; this corresponds more or less to the height of a
wave an experienced observer can assess.
Some waves will be twice as high as this value.

2.3 Deck equipment
zDECK FITTINGS
The fittings on the deck of your LAGOON 450 were selected according
to quality criteria.
To keep them to their best look, a regular maintenance is necessary.
- Rinse the equipments with fresh water, particularly the stainless
steel parts.
- Lubricate the different blocks, sheaves, turnbuckles, winches, tracks
and travellers.
- Clean and polish the stainless steel parts with a chrome and stain-
less steel polish in case of oxidation.
zPULPITS
Regularly rinse the stainless steel parts with fresh water.
zLIFELINES
Inspect the metal lifelines for ‘hairy wires’.
Check for corrosion, in particular on the connections.
zOUTSIDE WOODWORK
Regularly rinse and brush the outside woodwork with fresh water.
There are teak cleaners and brighteners on sale.
The use of a pressure washer is not advisable on teak.
2.1 Construction
The LAGOON 450 is constructed following the infusion process of a
polyester resin and a high quality anti-osmotic resin on a core of balsa
and fibreglass layers.
The hull bottoms and keels are made of monolithic laminates by in-
fusion.
2.2 Careening
A periodical careening of your boat will keep her original performan-
ces and avoid any adhesion of marine vegetation.
The type of the water where you boat sails determines how to choose
the antifouling paint as well as how often to carry out these caree-
nings.
Please contact a professional for advice.
WARNING
Do not let the hull’s large plexiglass windscreens come
into contact with fenders or hawsers: surface damage
would be irreparable.

zPLEXIGLAS
To protect the surface of your windows in plexiglas, avoid any contact
with alcohols, tanning creams, sand and all abrasive products gene-
rally speaking.
- Rinse the plexiglas with fresh water, do not use solvents.
- Brighten up with a soft rag soaked with a gentle cleaning product.
- Use polish paste to remove scratches.
2.4 Cockpit
zACCESS DOORS
The sliding door is fitted with a mechanism allowing its locking in an
open position. A latch on the door jamb allows its locking from inside
the saloon.
zCOCKPIT TABLE
The cockpit table is removable. It can be stored in the fly bridge
roof.
zBIN LOCKER
A bin locker with top opening is located on the saloon port side
entrance.
zSERVING HATCH
The cockpit is fitted with an opening serving hatch.
While sailing, please lock the serving hatch either in the open or
closed position.
zSWIM LADDER
A stainless steel swimming ladder is located on the starboard
transom. The boat may optionally be fitted with a second swimming
ladder.
zSHOWER
A shower supplied with hot and cold water is located on the starboard
side of the transom.
zSUNROOF
The sunroof, located on the fly bridge roof port side can be opened
from the cockpit.
It enables you to optimize the cockpit airing and offers a better field of
vision when manoeuvring in reverse.
WARNING
Be careful when opening the locker located under
the flying bridge roof.
WARNING
For safety’s sake, always sail with the ladder up and
kept in position.
RECOMMENDATION
While sailing, block the sliding door locking it.
