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. 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."

    We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.

    I started sailing at Modern at the end of 2021 and threw myself into it, spending as much time out on the water as I could. I came to Modern with some flat water dinghy sailing experience and it was quite a transition learning to sail bigger boats in much tougher conditions. There was a lot to learn, but the Modern instructors, Club Skippers and fellow Modern sailors made learning fun and rewarding. My Modern instructors were clearly very experienced sailors and sailing with them was inspiring! I want to thank the maintenance crew and office staff for their dedication and hard work - you are the folks who make things work! There is a lot more to learn and I look forward to sailing with Modern for years to come.

    Since many, many years, I had the dream to sail underneath the Golden Gate bridge. On October 14th last year, my dream became true. Thanks to our dear friend Aaron Fritz who made it possible and organized this cruise for us. With this adventure I was able to achieve one more milestone on my sailing career.

    Finally on the water, it was great! Full moon made the flows even stronger and it was like sailing in a washing machine.

    I did my sailing education in the English Channel, where the situation with the wind and flows is comparable to the San Francisco Bay. So I felt pretty much "at home" being on the helm in the Bay.

    I hope our skipper Stan Lander enjoyed this day cruise too. We, definitely did! It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.

    A very big thank you to all of you who made it possible, that my dream became reality! Also thank you for the MSC flag I got at the end of the day. It found it's place in my study, where I can see it daily.
