The
new Lagoon 420
was recently offered with optional diesel power in addition
to the Hybrid version initially introduced in early 2007.
The standard power in
this configuration is twin 40HP Yanmar 3JH4CE diesels with
saildrives and an early model off the production line was
recently taken for sea trials in France to establish
performance under power for this version.
We have taken the numerical
results from the sea trial and graphed them below. Conditions during the
sea trial were: 5kts wind, flat seas, 140 gals fuel (c. 90%), 26 gals water (c.
30%), 4 crew.
Highlights: Maximum speed just under 9kts,
fuel consumption at around 8kts is around 2 gallons per hours
(total for both engines).
