Folie à Deux

Catamaran
Lagoon 40

Folie à Deux is an impressive Lagoon 40 catamaran featuring panoramic views from the salon and large windows in the cabins, adding comfort and luxury to your San Francisco Bay charter experience. With a spacious galley and salon, three cabins, generous storage, and excellent headroom throughout, the accommodation is the roomiest of all catamarans in her class. She also boasts a large, open, and dry cockpit with 360 degree views, ideal for comfortable entertaining on the water. 

This Lagoon 40's running rigging is configured efficiently, making this boat a pleasure to sail. The self-tacking jib makes her an easy boat to sail with short-handed crews. She is surprisingly good upwind and fun to sail off the wind too. On deck, there are plenty of handrails to grab onto and most of the hatches are recessed. Her comfort rating for day sails is 12 people and she sleeps up to 8. 

Fun fact: folie à deux is a French expression that means "folly of two" or "madness shared by two."

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.
