With the Eighty 2, the Beneteau Group brand has unassumingly announced an "iconic yacht". The Lagoon measures 25 metres by eleven metres and focuses on relaxed sailing with every comfort.

The new cat picks up on the experience of the Lagoon Seventy 7, but aims to surpass it in all facets. While the exterior lines of the new addition were created in the sketchbooks of designer Patrick Le Quément, Nauta created the timeless interior. The aft cockpit, an area equipped with mobile seating to which a raised floating platform adds a whole 22 square metres of space, is at the centre of the on-board activity. A few steps lead up to the almost 50 square metre flybridge, where there are two steering wheels from which the crew has easy access to the lines and winches.

Clean electricity, clean adhesive

Solar cells cover the roof, which in turn charge the battery pack to cook or entertain guests at anchor in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Sustainability is also on the agenda elsewhere: in the construction method. The adhesive for the hulls is to be made from 100 per cent organic or recycled material. Lagoon aims to save ten tonnes of emissions per unit. The world premiere of the Eighty 2 is scheduled for the Yachting Festival in Cannes in 2025.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
