Awesome sunset in Malibu

Here is a little Video from a beautiful sunset

 We had a fantastic day in Malibu inside a cove doing a photo-shooting.

The return was magic... Spinnaker up. Speed between 9 and 11 knots and the sunset...

The best playground in the world

Paul adopted Clapotis... this is the best playground and versatile playground on the earth ... inside, outside, in the water... we can go anywhere on the boat and have fun !!!
For family, catamarans are definitely the best boat.

Dad and Boy Trip to Catalina

We went to Catalina with Paul to celebrate father's day ! Awesome trip and awesome boy .
He will be Clapotis' s best crew mate in the future .

LAGOON 450 Rendez-Vous

During our trip to Catalina, we got a FB message from Brian who was moored in  Emerald Bay.

I delivered Brian's Lagoon 450 (hull 146) about 3 years ago. Since then, the boat sailed 22,000 miles.

What a great time sharing latest news and remembering the old good days when we crossed the Atlantic during the ARC 2012 ...

Clapotis and Increddible sealodge are already good friends and they plan to leave together for the Marquesas in 2017

Tiphaine's Birthday

To celebrate her birthday , Tiphaine wanted to invite all her friends on board.

We ended up with 18 kids jumping around... But the boat is so big that we never felt the crowd.

Tiphaine is now 15 years and she promised to remain the staging manager on the boat.

Photoshoot with stars

Today we had a star on board of clapotis ...

We did a photoshoot for the ''Rich kids of beverly hills'' who are now engaged !

The challenge was to anchor closed to the Santa Monica Pier.. 35 feet of water and sand in the bottom... It was not easy to have some grip on the anchor but we did it.

Producer was very happy of the results of the pictures .

First Week end in Catalina

First week end in Catalina

In July 2010 we were 6 guys in Catalina, partying on a Beneteau Oceanis 40... We create a recurring event . ''the Catalina Triathlon'' . Since then we go twice a year to Catalina island to compete the famous ''Triathlon''.
We play cards, ''petanque'', hike in the mountains and have few drinks !

This was the first time for Clapotis on the island. a good opportunity to verify that the Lagoon 450 can welcome  easily15 people for dinner, hold 30 bottles of wine in the cellar and more...

And it was a good opportunity to test all the systems on the boat (generator, watermaker, pumps, lights, and more...).

We were 2 Lagoon Catamarans. Arthur took his LAGOON 400  ''Les 3 Amis''. Then we could accomodate a nice bedroom to everybody ... 2 Lagoon together is like a tennis court and Hotel ...

Les 3 Amis and Clapotis together in Catalina for the first time ... Not the last one.

Wine Cellar by the Captain

A lagoon 450 is always where you want to be... The good news is that we have plenty of storage to store the wine (red Bordeaux) and Rose' which are the skipper's favorite.... 

Any occasion will be good to have a good time with friends !
