About the Lagoon 560

French yacht builder Lagoon established itself as a leader in production catamarans, and the 560 represents their expertise in creating luxurious cruising multihulls designed for extended voyaging. This sailing catamaran targets serious cruisers who prioritize comfort, space, and stability over outright performance. Built for blue-water cruising and extended liveaboard adventures, the 560 showcases Lagoon's signature approach to catamaran design with emphasis on interior volume and outdoor living spaces. The twin-hull configuration provides exceptional stability and reduced heeling compared to monohulls, making it particularly appealing to sailors seeking a more comfortable motion at sea. Lagoon's reputation for thoughtful layout design likely extends to the 560, with the brand known for maximizing usable space while maintaining structural integrity for offshore sailing. The boat suits couples or families planning extended cruising adventures, coastal exploration, or even circumnavigation voyages. While not designed for racing applications, the 560 offers the practical advantages that have made Lagoon catamarans popular in charter fleets and among private owners worldwide. Its design philosophy centers on creating a stable, spacious platform that transforms long passages into comfortable experiences while providing the reliability needed for serious offshore cruising.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
21.75
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
19.09
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
3.06
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 10.03
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 6.0
