You’ll be hard pressed to find another Lagoon 52F with as much thought put into off-grid sustainability. SummerCamp, currently for sale by owner, is the ideal sailing catamaran for the full-time live aboard not wanting to be constantly connected to shore power or have the generator running all day.
Just installed in January is an impressive LifePO4 battery power system sufficient to run every thing on the boat (i.e. air conditioning, water maker, scuba compressor (new last year), water heater, and more) without being plugged in or have the generator running.
At the core of the system is 3 Victron 5000 Multiplus’s in parallel, producing a total power of 15,000 watts. A 2400Ah LifePO4 (1200A @24v) battery bank was added (separate from the existing 12V 1260Ah AGM house bank) to power the inverters, bringing total battery capacity to ~3700Ah.
A custom 2KW solar arch was installed on the aft (designed to be able to conveniently store surf/SUP boards). An additional 850W of flexible panels was added on the forward coach roof, and an additional 600W of solar on top of the recently replaced bimini to top it off.
Adding in the existing 300W of solar the boat originally came with, she has an impressive 3600W of total solar power. On a sunny summer day, you can expect to see nearly 200A pumping into your batteries.
16 solar panels in total, are matched to 10 Victron Smart MPPT solar controllers for redundancy and optimal performance with shading. A Victron Cerbo GX touchscreen with an upgraded WiFi antenna allows you to monitor the health of this system remotely from any where in the world.
This system was also designed so that in the event the generator does have to run (if it’s been cloudy), or you are plugged into shore power, you’ll have the ability to charge the boats batteries at a rate up to 600A an hour, ensuring your batteries are topped up in no time and you can quickly get back to peace and quiet without the rumble of the generator.
The bimini top was recently replaced (Fall 2021) with a like-new top from a 2020 model. The original flybridge isinglass still has some life in it but the stitches are starting to go on the zippers (serviceable). Knowing this the current owners also bought an extra set of isinglass from a 2020 model as a spare to go with the boat.
The boat also comes with a full set of canvas covers for covering the helm electronics, steering wheel, winches, and all the hatches. The aft cock pit not only has the isinglass & bug screen enclosure, but also comes with sun shades that extend outward along the sides and aft of the cockpit, giving you additional shade coverage (the solar arch is also great for this). The dingy also has matching chaps to protect it from UV, seat cover and outboard engine cover (not shown in pictures).
You’ll also find bins and bins of spares (all conveniently stored in the custom shelving in the bow lockers), about $10k or more worth, making this boat truly ready to hop on and cruise. Alongside the more common spares you’d expect to see (i.e. oil/fuel filters, belts, etc.) is a spare alternator, waterpump, oil pump, extra set of folding Varifold props for the boat, spare propeller for the dingy, about $1,000 worth of water maker filters and much more.
The current owners are experienced liveaboards who are meticulous with engine/mechanical maintenance - so you’ll have very little to worry about in that department as well. SummerCamp is truly ready to hop on and sail away, just provision and head out.
