Production
The design was built by Jeanneau's Lagoon catamaran division, later part of Construction Navale Bordeaux (CNB) and Groupe Beneteau in France. Production ran from 1998 to 2005, with 51 boats completed.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|title = Jeanneau (FRA)|access-date = 21 January 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230104184016/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|archive-date= 4 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau|title= Jeanneau|access-date= 21 January 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220418125800/https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau|archive-date= 18 April 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cnb-fra|title= CNB (FRA)|access-date = 18 December 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221218201226/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cnb-fra|archive-date= 18 December 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/cnb|title= CNB|access-date= 18 December 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221218201400/https://sailboat.guide/cnb|archive-date= 18 December 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/builder/lagoon-catamaran|title= Lagoon Catamaran|access-date = 18 December 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221218201237/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/lagoon-catamaran|archive-date= 18 December 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/lagoon|title= Lagoon Catamaran|access-date= 18 December 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20221218201350/https://sailboat.guide/lagoon|archive-date= 18 December 2022|url-status= live}}
Design
The Lagoon 470 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of vinylester fiberglass sandwich, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast and aluminum spars. The hulls have raked stems, reverse transoms with steps, twin rudders controlled by a wheel and twin keels. It displaces {{convert|20569|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.43|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard twin keels.
The boat is fitted with twin Yanmar diesel engines and saildrives, producing a {{convert|40|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} each or optional {{convert|54|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|127|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|158|u.s.gal}}.
For the yacht charter role the boat may be equipped with four cabins, each with its own head. For personal use the number of heads are reduced to three. The central salon has a table and seating for eight to ten people, plus a navigation station and a galley to port.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|8.98|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
Operational history
In a 2003 Cruising World review, Ralph Naranjo wrote, "designers Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost took the strengths and weaknesses of the older Lagoon 47 and created a multifaceted multihull, ready to play the role of a liveaboard, charter boat, or long-distance cruiser. The transition from the Lagoon 47 to the Lagoon 470 entailed a major hull and deck redesign and a new approach to the use of space below, resulting in a truly new boat."
