Hi Rita,

We've looked closely at both for charter and for eventual purchase. We prefer, by far, the Lagoon. We've chartered Lagoons and have never been disappointed. Can't say that for other models. The main swaying factor for us has been what Peter illustrated - we just do not like the separate helm and line situation - very inconvenient. Yes, we love to sail together, but not always glued together smile

Hopefully the BVIs will let us in for our rapidly approaching charters on Time Will Tell. LOVE the L42.
