About
38 South is a 1999 Lagoon 380 4 cabin pre-owned Catamaran. It has been our floating home for 3 months of the year for the last 4 years while we have been travelling from Grenada to Australia via the USA. The smallest of the Lagoon range, the amazing 380 holds the record for the largest number of cruising catamarans built worldwide now over 800. This used Catamaran is easy to handle and can comfortably be sailed by one person. Halyards and almost all lines coming back to the helm making sail trimming and handling a breeze. The 380 is very comfortable both at sea and at anchor and most of all is fun to live aboard. This 4 cabin version offers two shared heads and maximizes accommodation. Since the first model rolled of the line, the basic configuration has not changed much over the years making these pre-owned catamarans an attractive and valuable proposition. Light is the key on the Lagoon 380 with vertical saloon windows making all areas bright and inviting. The helm station with its upgraded soft upholstered double helm seat is comfortable for those relaxing cruises. Visibility from the helm station is excellent. Having the engines remote from the cabins provides additional soundproofing and having propulsion aft of the rudders gives greater performance to the twin blade folding propellers. Direct access to the cockpit from the galley makes for easy living and entertaining. This is a serious entry level cruising catamaran and probably the most successful contemporary cruising cat currently on the market
