Lagoon SEVENTY 7 Skipper Interview

In this insightful interview, we had the pleasure of conversing with Luke Butchers, the skipper of a magnificent Lagoon SEVENTY 7. During our discussion, Luke shared his experiences, choices, and future plans for this remarkable vessel.

Navigating the Mediterranean: Jabulani’s Adventure Continues

It’s been one hell of a trip. The Mediterranean offers a rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes, travelling through different countries and exploring the local ingredients and cooking techniques has been an incredible experience. I don’t think we’ll ever lose some of the friends we’ve met, and we’re all living our dream… Our favourite features on our Lagoon are the flybridge, Code Zero, water-maker and generator.”

First Lagoon 51 Handover

“Thank you, TMG for all the wonderful support throughout this journey of mine. Thanks to Joe, thanks to John I’m very happy with the service and delivery, it’s all been magnificent.” said new Lagoon 51 owner, Tony.

Australian owned Lagoon 450F Wins the ARC

“It’s fast if you sail it well. In those first few days, we were averaging 10-15kts which is what gave us the advantage.” If anyone says a “Lagoon is just a floating apartment” or “doesn’t sail well” they are incorrect. – Lagoon 450F “Aphrodite,” Class B ARC winner.

Amazing Lagoon Catamaran Handover in Sydney

“We are very thankful to TMG for the amazing handover of our Lagoon 42. The whole process has been outstanding, from our initial sales with Joe Fox to the coordination of services by TMG’s service partner VesselTec.” – Vincent and Amanda, Lagoon 42.

Where Jabulani’s Journey Began

“Meeting the TMG team and being welcomed into the family was the start of the journey. They took the time to understand us, who we are and what we want to achieve from our dreams. TMG assisted us with the technical, the practical and helped us to navigate the process from purchase to delivery and beyond to reach our aspirations. Now we are living our dream, and it’s thanks to TMG… The 46 is next level. She meets all of our needs to entertain our family and cruise the oceans of the world.” – Mike & Linda, Lagoon 46 owners.

Buying a Catamaran in the Middle of a Pandemic

Buying a catamaran and deciding to wrap up your life on land to sail the world is a life-changing decision, one made a little harder when caught up amongst the pandemic and uncertainty it caused.

So we turned to new Lagoon owners Ian and Jackie who put together an incredible story to give you the reality of what this experience was really like for them.

Lagoon European Launch 2020

“We highly recommend TMG. Rowan at TMG was responsive, professional and patient at every turn during this process, from selection of boat options (Lagoon 450S) prior to purchase, all the way through handover of the boat in France.” Karen, Lagoon 450S.

Lagoon 42, Bilby

“Through our travels, we’ve met other Lagoon 42 owners who bought their boat through other brokers (overseas)… You don’t know how good you’ve got it until you meet someone who got much less. A big thank you! Everything we wanted on the boat was delivered. Everything works & we were shown how it works. Any failures are ours due lack of familiarity or faulty memory.” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Lagoon 50, Themis

Fourth time Lagoon owner John Pruim has just become the first Lagoon 50 owner in Australia!!! “Lagoon allows you to go from a to b safely, easily and reliably. There is a sense of comfort and space, perfect for being a house on the water…” Says John. “The team at The Multihull Group will work with you to ensure you get just the set up you desire…” – John Pruim – Lagoon 50, Themis

Lagoon 42, Sabella

“”Lagoons are boldly angular in shape, and we thought that was fantastic. It creates that space inside and looks great on the outside. And the sailing performance for a production catamaran … is very very good.

When we arrived in Les Sables-d’Olonne John had this rockstar entrance… surreal does not even begin to describe how it felt.” ” – Aaron and Lara Jones – Lagoon 42, Sabella

“A big tick to TMG… They’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG. ” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Antics on the Flybridge

“It’s very very easy, so much space, we just had 4 couples for 5 days, it was very chilled out and relaxed.

The flybridge is such a big beautiful place with a view, its elevated and we put permanent clears around ours so you can use it anytime, day or night, windy or raining, it doesn’t matter. You can sit up there have lunch, have dinner. We call it the first class lounge, you can’t go wrong.” – Anthony and Seryn Ryan – Lagoon 630MY, Antics

Latest Pickup In France – The World Carries On

These Lagoon 40 owners recently took delivery, “We decided to stick to our schedule and pick up our Lagoon 40 in Les Sables-d’Olonne in early March despite the uncertainty surrounding the current worldwide pandemic and the lockdown in France (curfew in France is 7 pm).”

Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

“We love our Lagoon, we’ve been out in some pretty tough conditions and it’s always brought us home safe, it’s fantastic under sail and great at anchor so we absolutely love our boat.

Our favourite thing about our boat is the places it can take us, we get to see a lot of the east coast that most people can only imagine to see and to be able to access it with a boat it’s just fantastic.” – Matt Doncan – Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

“Greg and Sue Harding created and monitor the Lagooned in Oz Facebook Community and are vital and enthusiastic Lagoon owners.

The pair have owned numerous Lagoons and love their current Lagoon 440. – Greg and Sue Harding” – Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

There is more enjoyment in a sailboat in that the enjoyment is in the journey as much as it’s in the destination. That to me makes it a totally different experience.

The advantage of a flybridge to me is the fact you are that much higher off the surface of the water, you can get better vision all around, a greater sense of being on-top of the whole thing and I do enjoy being out in the sun most of the time.” – Jeff D’Albora – Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

Paul Rogers is one of the founders of Lagooned in Oz “…the best thing about our lifestyle is not the boat or location, it’s the people. There is a whole community of Lagoon owners, and the Lagoon events have connected us with so many wonderful people.” – Paul Rogers, Moor RnR

Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

David and Nerida Lee have been living aboard and sailing their Lagoon 380 for years, speaking highly of Lagoon as a brand and their on water lifestyle.

“The fact that you can wake up every morning with different scenery… it’s the freedom! For us it was finding a boat that would take us and all our possessions and our Lagoon does that. We live and sail in paradise! ” – David and Nerida Lee – Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

Ticketyboo delivered

“The entire TMG team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable… From our first enquiry, through specification, order, to delivery and after-sales, TMG have been terrific to deal with. Ordering our Lagoon 40 was no small decision and a perfect delivery reassured us from the start,” Mike Pain.

Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“Ross was super – he went through everything.

We’ve never had that; going through everything was a huge positive.” – Graeme and Linda Hubbard – Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“I think it’s a fascinating and great way to live … so many people put things off until retirement and then can’t achieve their dream when they get there.

I’m happy with my choice.

It stretches you a bit and you juggle a lot of things, but with good people like the team at TMG, you can follow your dream.” – Drew Hakin, Adèle 1

Slingsby hopes to hold off hard-charging Kiwis when SailGP splashes down on Sydney Harbor

SAN DIEGO (AP) — No pressure whatsoever, but Tom Slingsby and his mates with Team Australia really need a win on home water when SailGP makes its annual stop on Sydney Harbor this weekend.

Not only have the three-time defending champions not won a regatta in Season 4 of the global league, but there would be no bigger gut punch than if their hard-charging rival from across the Tasman Sea, Team New Zealand, hoisted the trophy and sprayed Champagne with the backdrop of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge.

“It would be pretty bad,” Slingsby said in a video call from his home north of Sydney. “It’s probably the worst-case scenario for multiple reasons.”

With skipper Peter Burling taking paternity leave, the Kiwis are turning to Nathan Outteridge to helm their foiling 50-foot catamaran in pursuit of a third straight victory and fourth this season. Outteridge, an Australian, lives in New Zealand with his Kiwi wife, Emma, and their two children. A two-time Olympic medalist, Outteridge skippered Japan the first two seasons of SailGP and is a helmsman with two-time defending America’s Cup champion Emirates Team New Zealand, which is led by Burling and Blair Tuke.

“They do have Nathan Outteridge steering this event so at least there’s an Aussie there somewhere,” Slingsby joked. He then turned serious: “We need to stop them.”

Do the Aussies feel the pressure from the Kiwis? “Hopefully, because we’re coming,” said Tuke, the wing trimmer who is co-CEO with Burling.

“We’ve said all along that we’re here for the long road,” Tuke said in a video call from the Auckland waterfront. “We’ve got a good team and we’ve set up some really nice processes now and had some hurdles, some speed bumps, that’s for sure, but some of those have definitely made us stronger as a unit. We’re pretty focused on being in the final at the end of the season and doing one better than last year.”

Burling reached last season’s Grand Final before Slingsby held him off in a tense finish in the $1 million, winner-take-all race on San Francisco Bay.

The Kiwis beat the Aussies in the Season 4 opener in Chicago and have rebounded nicely from the catastrophic failure of their wingsail at the end of the opening day of the Saint-Tropez regatta in September.

The Kiwis are coming off wins in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, both in light air. The wind should be fresher on Sydney Harbor, where the Aussies won the inaugural SailGP regatta in 2019 and again the following season. They were third there last year.

New Zealand has pulled within six points of the Aussies on the leaderboard of the 10-team league with six regattas to go before the top three teams sail for the season title and winner-take-all prize, which is now $2 million, on July 14 in San Francisco.

“Look, not putting pressure, we’ve had seven events this season and we haven’t managed to win one and the Kiwis have won three,” said Slingsby, an Olympic gold medalist and former America’s Cup champion. “For sure they’re the favorite heading into this having won the last couple. If ever there’s a time to get us back on track, the Sydney event would be a great one to win.”

The Aussies were seventh in Abu Dhabi, the first time in 14 regattas they failed to make the podium race.

New Zealand has finished fifth and fourth in Sydney and would love to win this one heading into their home regatta in Christchurch on March 23-24.

“That’s definitely the plan,” said Tuke, who teamed up with Burling to win three Olympic medals. “When you’ve got a bit of momentum, you want to keep it going. We want to get over there and show what we can do.”

“Welcome to the vibrant and diverse city of Sydney, Australia! From stunning beaches to iconic landmarks, there's something for everyone in this city of endless possibilities. No matter what your interests are, Sydney has something to offer,” the airline wrote as part of the sale. “Book your trip today and get ready to experience Australia's most vibrant city.”

Fly roundtrip to Sydney from either Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Honolulu starting at just $998, or fly from Houston starting at just $1,198. Travelers can also fly roundtrip to the Australian city from Chicago starting at $1,298 or fly roundtrip from New York City starting at $1,498.

The sale also offers deals in Air New Zealand’s premium cabins with a roundtrip flight to Sydney in the airline’s Business Premier seats starting at just $6,898 from either Los Angeles or San Francisco.

Blackout dates and valid travel dates vary by origin city. Most flights during the promotion require a minimum seven-day stay.

The sale comes as Air New Zealand prepares to introduce its Economy Skynest , which will feature sleeping pods passengers can take turns using. In addition to the Skynest, travelers looking for a bit more space on long-haul flights can stretch out by booking a Skycouch in economy, which allows passengers to turn three seats into a makeshift bed; or by booking the “Economy Stretch” cabin class , which features 39 percent more legroom.

Air New Zealand was named the safest airline in the world for 2024 , edging out second-place Qantas due to the Australian carrier’s fleet age.
