A lagoon catamaran is a high performance vessel that, with adequate care, can offer you years of sea adventures.
To guarantee its durability and maintain its efficiency, it is essential to carry out regular and preventive maintenance.
Here we give you some essential tips to take care and maintain your Lagoon in optimal conditions.
1. Regular Hull Cleaning
The hull of your catamaran Lagoon is constantly exposed to the hard conditions of salt water. If it is not regularly cleaned, the accumulation of salt, algae and dirt can damage the coating and affect the speed and performance of the boat.
Tips:
- Rinse with fresh water after each outlet to remove salt and waste.
- Use soft nautical detergents to avoid damaging the hull.
- Apply marine wax every six months to protect the UV ray hull and corrosion.
2. Maintenance of engines and on – board systems
Your Lagoon is equipped with complex systems that require periodic attention to ensure that they continue to work properly.
Tips:
- Motors and propulsion system: replaces oil and water filters, and check the lubricant levels regularly.
- Electrical system: Inspect connections and batteries to avoid failures. Make sure the connections are firm and clean.
- Fresh water and navigation systems: Check water tanks and pumps to make sure they work properly.
Regular maintenance of these systems ensures that your catamaran maintains their autonomy and performance over time.
3. Antifouling application
Antifouling is a special painting that protects the hull from the accumulation of marine organisms, such as algae and mollusks, which can affect the speed and efficiency of the boat.
Applying antifouling also reduces water resistance, which improves the yield of the catamaran.
Tips:
- Apply antifouling at least once a year.
- Be sure to sand and clean the hull before applying the paint to ensure that it adheres correctly.
- Check the propellers regularly to eliminate any accumulation of attramed algae or networks.
4. Periodic inspections
Regular inspections are crucial to detect any problem before it becomes serious damage.
This includes verifying the hull, hydraulic systems, and sails (if it is a hybrid model).
Tips:
- Verify the hull in search of cracks or abolish.
- Check the sails and ends to detect possible damage.
- Control hydraulic and fuel systems to make sure there are no leaks.
Performs a technical inspection at least once a year, especially if you have an advanced model such as Lagoon 55, which has more complex technologies.
5. Prepare your Lagoon for summer
Summer is the season of greatest activity in the sea, so it is important to make sure that your Lagoon is completely ready to make the most of the season.
Tips:
- Make sure all systems work properly, especially the propulsion system and water pumps.
- Check the sails and other navigation elements to make sure they are in good condition
- Verify that antifouling has been applied properly and that there is no accumulation of marine organisms.
