Lagoon 35 CCC

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: August 5, 2002

Refreshingly, Jeanneau is so up front about the capabilities of their newest Lagoon cat that they’ve initialed them in the boat’s title. The “three Cs” of the Lagoon 35 CCC stand, without fanfare, for Coastal Cruising Catamaran. Racing to Bermuda? Look elsewhere.

Surprisingly, the boat was created by Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin, among America’s most successful multihull duo from involvement in the controversial 1988 America’s Cup catamaran defense to Tornado-class Olympic campaigns. Initially, the M&M design team hardly conjures “cruising.”

Performance was clearly prioritized. Although the 35 employs a single-spreader rig that flies a relatively conservative sail plan of 620 square feet (including Profurl roller jib) the key to maintaining average speeds in the high single digits in moderate to fresh breezes is the easily driven hull and lightish displacement for a boat of this size — about 9,500 pounds unloaded.

The steering station with full instrument array and engine controls nicely fronts a comfortable seat for extended sessions at the helm. Halyards, sheets and reefing lines are led aft to a series of three cockpit-mounted self-tailing winches for quick and efficient sail handling; standard lazy jacks for the mainsail keep things tidy when tucking reefs or dousing altogether. The mostly Lewmar deck hardware package features rope clutches, blocks, genoa cars, traveler and so on.

The wondrous and vast deck space, typical of cats, includes a languorous cockpit stationed just forward of twin sets of transom steps for graceful boardings and exits ashore, for hopping a dinghy or for taking a plunge. Molded-in steps forward of the raised cabin gives ready access to the small trampoline between the hulls.

A tidy anchoring arrangement leads the rode under the tramp from a forward roller to a huge gasketed locker aft, which provides compartments for ground tackle, spare line, shore power cord, and plenty of other loose but necessary stuff.

You move from cockpit into the main saloon through a folding Plexiglas door. On the upper “floor” of the usual split-level bridge-deck arrangement, the galley to port opposite a big settee and dining area keeps the cook and the company together for socializing and both close to the cockpit when under way or at anchor. There are two big double berths aft, and a huge, airy head with roomy shower stall in the starboard hull. The port hull bow can contain a second custom head, a large single berth, or a workshop/storage area.

Beneath the double berths, access to a pair of standard Yanmar 1GM10 diesel inboards (bigger Yanmars are optional) is excellent. Coupled to fixed two-bladed props, the twin engines drive the 35 CCC at an effortless 7.5 to eight knots and make maneuverability in even the tightest of turnarounds a snap.

Like its 37- and 42-foot sister ships, the Lagoon 35 CCC is built in the United States by TPI using the revolutionary but proven SCRIMP resin-infusion process, and incorporates biaxial glass and a balsa core. Jeanneau’s 10-year blister/five-year structural warranty is one of the best in the boatbuilding business.

This latest Lagoon is very simple to sail and operate. It will redefine what you think is possible in under 35 feet of waterline for quick and comfortable coastwise exploration, lots of fun under sail and plenty of comfort when the hook is down.

Jeanneau Lagoon 35 CCC Review

• Post author By Hunter Frey
• Post date September 23, 2020
• 2 Comments on Jeanneau Lagoon 35 CCC Review

What does Jeanneau want the world to think with the acronym of “CCC” In the title? It’s the Coastal Cruising Catamaran. That’s it. Jeanneau was so transparent about the capabilities of their new cat, that they put it in the title. Thinking about racing to Bermuda? Look elsewhere. Designed by notorious sailing and design guru’s, Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin (America’s Cup & Olympics), they chose performance over comfort.

To understand the boat, I really needed a quick history lesson on Jeanneau’s production timeline. In 1984 they started production of their first generation Lagoon boats. They started big too. The Lagoon fleets of 55, 57, 67 and 67s models were the first boats that were splashed starting from the mid 1980’ up into the early 1990’s. Beginning in 1992 the production of any new models stopped. Looking back into the history glass, one can see the writing on the wall. So after some time with no activity, in 1995 Jeanneau launched the Lagoon 35. All eleven of them and then was bought out by Beneteau Boats. It was the last Lagoon boat to be built with the priority of performance over comfort. Since then, more than 5,000 boats have been produced. They’re widely known as a durable and reliable vessels and many were sent to sail with countless charter companies located around the world. Moon Tide, along with her captain, Bill, has been kind enough to let me board and do an interview. The two have been sailing the east coast “for longer than you have been alive,” Bill states. I’m 36 years young, so maybe not that long, but long enough.

The boats handling and performance were definitely top priorities when designing,” Bill informs me. “Even in light winds, Moon Tide sails around 6-7 knots. When we get into some wind blowing true 12-15 knots,” he says, “10 knots of boat speed or more is possible. I’ve even seen 12 knots hold on the screen for a while.” Impressive I’m thinking. From research and discussion, the reason Lagoon 35’s can easily hold high single digit boat speeds, even in horribly light wind is with a big thanks to the light displacement of the hull( counter-acting the quite conservative a single-spreader rig which holds a smaller sail plan totaling 620 square feet, including the roller furling jib.) Like its 37 and 42 foot sister ships, the Lagoon 35 CCC is built in the USA by TPI, using their proven SCRIMP resin-infusion process, incorporating biaxial glass and a balsa core. Jeanneau’s 10 year blister and five year structural warranty was and is one of the best in the boatbuilding business. The designers, known as “M&M” have made handling this boat very easy.

Coming aboard, one cannot miss the large windows on the sides of the saloon which Lagoon’s are well known for. She has an average beam of 15’9”, which allows for easy access around the deck. The helm is loaded with the standard instrument array, auto-pilot, gauges and engine controls, with plenty of seating. All your lines, halyards, sheets and reefing lines, all lead aft into the cockpit. Also, nicely placed aft, there are four self tailing winches, offering an excellent shorthanded sailing experience. Three winches are standard; Bill installed the fourth, providing alternative purchase when needed. And believe me, there’s no shortage of space. Just gazing around, I see an ordinary catamaran. No Frills. The boat is very tidy and clean, for being close to three decades old. All the hardware is Lewmar and looks to be in good condition. Being on a boat, one out of 11, is pretty cool. The First thing that catches my eye after boarding is the amount of deck space and Jeanneau’s classic molded-in transom steps, for an easy boarding or swim. Forward on deck, sunbathing can be enjoyed by all, while lying on then trampoline between both hulls, free and clear from lines and sails.

Moving past the cockpit into the saloon, fitting a crew of four perfectly, you can see that a lot of thought was put into the design. The split level, “Galley Up” layout and the two piece dining table with the L-shaped seating (optional extra bed), keeps company together while underway and on the hook. The huge windows provide the inside with a lot of natural light. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator\ freezer, two-burner stove with oven and a very nice, large sink. Standing there, I feel like I am in a much bigger boat with the spacious layout. Built with two big queen berths aft and a quite large and impressive head in the starboard hull, I’m surprised at the headroom, 6’3”. That definitely adds to the spacious feel. There are 4 different layouts to choose from. Bill’s boat has a large berth forward, in the port hull with a small head attached. A custom, in-house re-fit. Right now, it appears to house all foul-weather gear and spinnakers. However some of the other layouts one can choose from, offer the port hull with a second custom berth and head, single berth with storage, workshop or it could be left unfinished for later design. Living aboard? There are so many gasketed lockers\compartments you can bring everything, but leave the kitchen sink.

Moon Tide is powered by twin Yanmar diesel inboards, larger engines are optional. The twin drives allow for the boat to cruise at 7-8 knots and maneuver in tight spaces with finesse. I asked Bill his thoughts overall on the boat and to sum up to me his overall take and what he said was simple, yet sufficient; he said, “The 35 CCC is very simple to sail and operate”, “it changed what I thought was possible in 35 feet of waterline. This boat is perfect for my wife and I.” he says. “It is lots of fun under sail, fast, has plenty of comfort when the hook is down, and I have had no major issues with the boat, so, I am happy”. Bill goes on to tell me that since his purchase of the boat, he has not wanted to change or modify anything. Besides adding a few creature comforts, the boat is the same as the day he bought it. He mentioned to me that on a few occasions when the boat has been loaded down heavy the seas can hit the nacelle and be loud with the occasional banging in-between the hulls. Her under-wing clearance is about 2’ un-loaded, so she seldom smacks the top of a wave. In addition to the generous clearance, the surface of the under wing is fair and devoid of anything that may snag waves and slow the boat.

The Lagoon 35 combines an excellent layout and a high quality finish with the capability of sailing pretty darn fast. She offers her crew livability and affordability in a stylish, stable platform that also has the benefit of a moderate beam of 15’9”. Being able to venture into shallow depths, with a mere draft of 3’3”, one can go where no mono-hull sailboat may dare.

The first three pictures were taken by me before I bought my boat up to Long Island from Baltimore. L35 hull #3. Don’t know if Moon Tide is her.

Her original name was Hale Hale Holo and we named her Searenity

We owned her for eight years and I miss her.

The original design had a queen-sized berth in the rear of each hull, head and shower in the mid-starboard hull, and an optional head in the port hull.

Commissioned by Lagoon USA, and designed by Morrelli & Melvin, it was built by Tillotson-Pearson in Warwick, Rhode Island. When Groupe Beneteau bought Jeanneau-Lagoon production of the L35ccc was halted in 1997 after only 11 boats produced. Production of the USA TPI Lagoon 37 was also halted and moved to France, while production of the Lagoon 380 was gearing up. The L380 replaced the L35ccc and L37 and became the best sailing cruising catamaran of all time, with over 1000 hulls produced.

Marshall – was this the same Hale Hale Holo chartered by Anacortes Yacht Charters in Puget Sound? How did she get from one Coast to the other? Jim Mayock 415-407-3067 [email protected]

Jeanneau Yachts 55 review: Thinking outside the box

• Rupert Holmes
• February 28, 2024

Interior accommodation has traditionally been what sells mainstream cruising yachts, but the Jeanneau Yachts 55 ‘monocat’ turns that thinking on its head

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Boatbuilders rarely have the courage to launch a model that represents a radically different way of thinking. Instead, most new yachts are simply variations on established themes with incremental improvements that represent important evolutions over time.

And when testing boats it’s easy to gloss over what it’s like to spend time relaxing on board, whether in harbour or underway in lovely weather. Yet this is a critical factor in the enjoyment owners derive from their boats.

Even with the best natural ventilation, in tropical sun or when the outside temperature rises above 30˚C, the interior of any yacht gets uncomfortably hot. So why have monohull builders and designers continued to expend so much effort on optimising saloon and dining space below decks, rather than focussing on exterior socialising and relaxation spaces?

The Jeanneau Yachts 55 completely reimagines how the main living areas on a yacht intended for use in sunny climes should be configured. All key elements of the main saloon are effectively on deck, sheltered by a big sprayhood and hard top or bimini. It reflects how yachts are actually used, at the same time improving privacy in each of the sleeping cabins and in the owner’s quarters.

In a sense it merely recognises how many people use a boat with decent sun protection: maximising time spent in the cockpit.

While this is not the yard’s first foray into this concept of accommodation arrangement it’s the first model aimed at private owners. It draws on Jeanneau’s experience with the Sun Loft 47 of 2019, which was geared resolutely for the charter market. We got to put a pre production model of the Jeanneau Yachts 55 to the test in Spain last autumn.

Novel layout

The cockpit effectively extends a huge distance forward and has multiple different spaces for different purposes. Right aft is a full-beam flexible area with expansive sunbeds that convert to large tables, creating a space that easily rivals the aft cockpit of multihulls of a similar size. As with flybridge catamarans and motor yachts, cushions are a fast drying type made for use outdoors.

Immediately ahead of this area is the main control centre for the boat, with twin helm and winch stations. These have a pair of Harken electric winches each side, with one having a back-winding facility, and on the test boat all furling and reefing could be done electrically by one person.

The distinctive mainsheet arch is standard on all boats, whether or not the optional solid sprayhood and hard top are specified over the standard fabric components. This has the big benefit of keeping the sheet safely clear of the cockpit, however the standard arrangement doesn’t allow for fine control of sail shape.

On test: Oceanis Yacht 54

There’s something surprising and quite brilliant about the new Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54, which I bet you won’t notice at…

Lagoon 46 first look: Updating this catamaran is a significant step for the yard

Lagoon has sold 900 of its 450 catamaran model in eight years, maxing out the 130-a-year mould capacity in latter…

Outboard of the wheels the side decks slope upwards towards the foredeck in a refinement of the ramp first seen on the Sun Odyssey 440 back in 2017. This arrangement works really well on the Jeanneau Yachts 55, giving easy step-free access to the foredeck. It also effectively creates a deep bulwark, with an extra high 36in rail outboard of the winches, making it a safe place for sail handling. There are also lovely deep rope bags here, though longer handrails on the coachroof sides for use when going forward would be beneficial.

The two well appointed ensuite guest cabins are immediately forward of the helm stations. These are accessed from on deck, below the shelter of the hard top, which provides more privacy at night than a conventional arrangement with quarter cabins accessed directly from the saloon. The port is the larger of the two, with more floor area and space for a compact two-seater sofa.

On the downside guests have to descend into the depths of the hull via steep steps, so there’s potential for these cabins to feel claustrophobic, access to the starboard cabin’s heads is awkward, and the galley can only be reached by climbing up into the cockpit, then back down the main companionway.

The arrangement is great for owner’s privacy, and fine if you have teenage kids, but won’t suit everyone, especially those with children under a certain age.

Ahead of the guest cabins, towards the front of the sprayhood, is a small four-person dinette/coffee table to starboard and a navstation to port.

Both are slightly raised to give a good all-round view and the dinette can be lowered to create yet another day bed. This also makes it a good space to take a nap on short-handed passages, when you might need to be available at short notice.

Equally the navstation is an ideal place from which to con the boat when on watch alone, when the dished seat will help you stay in place when heeled on port tack. It also makes a great place to work using a laptop, as long as the almost all-round view doesn’t prove too much of a distraction. If it does there’s a secluded desk/dressing table in the forward master cabin.

Outdoor living begins at the stern with sunbeds, loungers and dining tables that easily rivals many multihulls for space. Photo: Gilles Martin-Raget

Monocat sailing

What about sailing performance? Naval architect Philippe Briand has created a boat with relatively low freeboard and powerful hull sections, plus plenty of form stability that on paper ought to hold its own against other mainstream cruising yachts of similar size.

More often than not, the yachts provided for our tests have the optional deep keel married to a taller rig with a slab reefing mainsail that typically gives 20% or more extra sail area than standard. This enables us to get a good feel for the fundamental qualities of the hull design.

However, the Jeanneau Yachts 55 we tested had the 1.9m shoal draught keel, along with the standard size furling mainsail and self tacking jib, albeit with upgraded sailcloth.

At the same time, the test boat’s displacement was some 3.5 tonnes heavier than standard, thanks to the shoal keel (800kg), plus the solid sprayhood and hard top in place of the standard fabric sprayhood and bimini, a washer-drier, air conditioning and a diesel generator.

It was difficult to make the furling main set well in the very light airs of my first day on board and, frustratingly, there was neither a Code 0 nor an asymmetric spinnaker on board. On the plus side, my experience is arguably a more realistic reflection of the configuration in which up to 90% of these boats will be ordered.

Many new designs impress with the way they sail in light airs – an important factor for summer cruising in Europe . However, this boat had very little feel or heel until the wind got above 7 knots, when we started making reasonable progress at just over five knots on a close reach, despite the restricted sail area. In only 4-5 knots of breeze we struggled to reach even three knots of boat speed, irrespective of wind angle.

Happily my second day on board produced 10-12 knots of breeze in which we made 5.5 knots close-hauled at a true wind angle of 55º, despite the boat being repeatedly slowed by a swell right on the bow. Bearing away with the true wind just aft of the beam, and that awkward swell on the quarter, we made a consistent 6-7 knots under main and jib.

The boat tracked well in these conditions, despite imperfectly set up steering: there was play, friction and vibration in the system, though we’re told these problems will be resolved on production boats.

Nevertheless, the helm stations are nicely configured, with big comfortable seats and large MFDs each side. There’s also excellent protection from sun, rain and spray, yet you can also steer sitting well outboard on the coaming to get a better view of the headsail luff, although the MFD and instruments are difficult to read from this position.

Are the seating and sunbed arrangements aft viable when there’s more wind and sea? There was much discussion about this at the start of the European Yacht of the Year trials. I sailed with the sunbed on one side, and table with space to seat six to eight people on the other, an arrangement with obvious appeal at anchor or at a boat show.

With seven people on board, in a Force 3-4 breeze and uncomfortable swell, this area aft was favoured over the more sheltered and secure seating further forward, even when close-hauled. In these conditions it felt safe, though in rough weather and high angles of heel it would be a less inviting space, while the width of this area and its proximity to the transom would undoubtedly make it feel insecure.

Given the Jeanneau Yachts 55’s accent on outdoor living, along with Jeanneau’s emphasis that the main below decks accommodation is primarily for owner’s use, it’s surprising they didn’t create a more comprehensive outdoor galley, even if that would inevitably compromise other elements. Instead there’s an optional barbecue that swings out from under one of the aft seats, so you need to stand on the bathing platform to use it, plus an optional fridge drawer under a seat further forward.

Returning to port with a quartering swell the boat rolled enough to make you think why not buy a catamaran instead? There’s a multitude of answers to that question, of course. For example, for anyone who spends a lot of time in the Mediterranean at busy times of the year it’s usually much easier to find a visitor’s berth for a monohull, whether in a chic Ligurian marina or a bustling Greek town quay.

Of course multihull owners may counter that by pointing out that catamarans don’t have a monohull’s tendency to roll in an uncomfortable anchorage and you can often anchor off and dinghy ashore with a decent tender – but that’s not always feasible.

Designed for the owners

All the space on deck makes this feel in some ways like a much larger yacht than the overall length might suggest, so descending the companionway is a surprise as it feels small for a 55-footer. But that initial impression misunderstands the whole concept of this boat.

Unlike almost any other yacht, the idea is the main below deck spaces accessed via the companionway will be predominately the preserve of the owners. This highlights how much of a change of mindset is needed to accurately evaluate this boat.

To starboard is a very long and very well appointed galley, and a saloon/dining area with space for six people to port. There’s lots of room to move around here – proportions are those of a smart apartment – though the wide open expanse may present a challenge at sea in rough conditions.

Double doors in the main bulkhead open onto a properly spacious full width owner’s cabin with a wonderfully open feel and the peninsula bed offset to port. To some extent the feeling of space comes at the expense of stowage volumes, but there’s an option to replace the vanity desk here with a big wardrobe, while retaining the small sofa to starboard.

There’s also an excellent almost full width head and shower right forward, but it’s surprising there’s no provision for an easily accessed day head in addition to the three ensuites.

Stowage on deck includes a huge sail locker forward that’s large enough to be fitted out as an optional skipper cabin. There’s also a big lazarette aft, measuring 2.1 x 1.5 x 0.35m, where you might otherwise expect to find a tender garage. This has access from on top, as well as from the bathing platform, making an excellent wet storage area for fenders, watersports toys and so on. There’s also a dedicated liferaft locker.

Optional telescopic davits have a capacity of more than 100kg, sufficient for an aluminium RIB of up to around 3.5m with a tiller-steered outboard. This is arguably a better option than a tender garage, which invariably severely limits the size of dinghy that can be carried without significantly reducing the volume available aft for accommodation.

An optional retractable gangway to port means access to the water, or to a quay when berthed stern to, is available even when the tender is stowed on the davits and the central transom walkway is therefore not available. The pilot rams and steering gear are accessed through a hatch at the side of the lazarette that’s just wide enough to crawl through, before rotating yourself 90º to the right. This would make it very difficult to access at sea and some will find it difficult even in port.

The standard twin 380lt fresh water tanks are a decent size for a boat with only three double cabins and there’s a high capacity 36lt per minute water pump for near domestic levels of water pressure. However, the 230lt fuel tank is definitely on the small side for the 110hp engine. Engine, generator and other systems are installed in a tunnel between the guest cabins, accessed from cockpit hatches, and therefore nicely separated from the main interior accommodation.

Hull construction is vacuum infused polyester, with solid laminate in the keel area, while the matrix in the bilge that helps spread keel loads is glued in place. The standard of finish generally looks very neat and the interior joinery is well executed. However, integration of the optional hardtop elements with the mainsheet arch and optional solid windscreen are not as slick.

This means there’s a lack of clean lines and continuity in styling terms. From a distance it looks good, but close up there are too many changes of surface level to look really clean, tidy and stylish.

This model represents a big bet and a bold move for Jeanneau that effectively creates a new type of yacht for private owners. When I first saw it at Düsseldorf in January 2023 I was taken with the concept, and the obvious enthusiasm Philippe Briand and Ignacio Oliva-Velex of renowned interior designers Winch Design have for it. Of course the Jeanneau Yachts 55 won’t suit everyone, and there are many who wouldn’t consider this boat, but it has potential to be a good match for many others. Admittedly the price of the pre-production test boat we sailed was inflated thanks to a very long list of extras. However, there are ways in which it didn’t feel like a $1million yacht, even if some elements such as the owner’s cabin and the expansive seating/sunbed areas aft are very nicely executed. Nevertheless the core idea clearly works well and aspects of it can’t easily be replicated on a multihull. Jeanneau plans to build 15 boats each year, so doesn’t require a huge production run for it to be considered a success. Even though this part of the market tends to be very conservative, 17 Jeanneau Yacht 55s have already been sold and we can surely expect to see more production designs for private boat owners along similar lines in future.

TESTIMONIES OF PASSIONATE OWNERS Join the Excess tribe !

"It's a great atmosphere right from the start, with everyone mixing together. We're all one big family!"

Béatrice and Jean-Pierre D. - Excess Campus - EXCESS 14

"I like this boat because it's fun, it's fast and it also allows you to cruise, so it's a good mix between cruising and fast sailing."

Ned and Misala - EXCESS 11

"You learn lots of things. And then meeting and sharing with the other owners... So far, it's been great!"

Cathy and John B - Excess Campus - EXCESS 14

"In Tahiti, there are children who have never seen the sea, and we'd like to take them sailing. It's part of one of our projects with the Excess 11".

Hinatea & Tristan - EXCESS 11

"I found that sailing was both relaxing and stimulating, as well as a good escape from the stress of my profession. »

Jeff B - EXCESS 11

"What I’m going to say seems to be kind of ridiculous because I’ve just got a brand new Excess 15, but in my mind I have already started thinking about my next dream boat. In six years from now, when I become a seventy year old man – if I’m alive still – Excess 17, with the Torqeedo solution."

Hiroshi H - EXCESS 15

“When the Excess 14 first came out, it seemed almost perfect. The main advantages of this catamaran are its perfect size for two people, and its ease of sailing. With the boom being low, it’s easy to handle.”

Tony & Heather - EXCESS 14

“We loved the family atmosphere. Excess is like one great big family to us, and we're really glad to be part of it! They're always there to listen to us and advise us.”

Jeniffer and Cédric - EXCESS 14

“I love both the profile and the “hybrid” concept, halfway between a traditional monohull and a very cruisey catamaran such as a Lagoon. It's comfortable and easy to sail, with no more water on deck... And ladies prefer a boat that doesn’t heel!”

Giovanni C - EXCESS 11

“I've been seduced by the performance of the Excess range, and that’s really why I've just bought an Excess 14, which for me is the ideal compromise. For me, with my sailing experience, it’s interior space and habitability, it meets all my expectations!”

André G - EXCESS 11

“We spent exactly 365 days onboard of our Excess 11 in both the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and loved the combination of comfort and sailing performance. We never imagined that taking showers or cooking while crossing an ocean would be so much fun!”

Marco and Lizzy - EXCESS 11

“In our opinion, this is the perfect compromise between comfort under way and at anchor, and great sailing sensations with performance that frequently impresses us! It sails very well upwind as well as in light airs. From 7 knots of apparent wind, we move faster under sail than under motor. We don't regret our choice one bit, and enjoy every day spent on board our Silène.”

Marion and Arthur - EXCESS 11

" - About the Excess Factory Tour - A thousand thank-yous for a wonderful day on Saturday. We really enjoyed taking part. The tour of the premises, with perfect commentary, was very interesting and informative. Thank you also for allowing me to see a preview of my own boat. "

“Yes, we were very impressed with the Excess 14. Each year, we teach hundreds of students how to sail on all the latest catamarans in production, from Fountaine Pajot, to Bali, Nautitech, etc..."

Tim G - EXCESS 14

"The boat was really light and fast, the mainsail is laregerand easier to operate. The sails can be hoisted and lowered very quicly... The self-tacking of the foresail, ma,ny catamarans don't have this. This one is especially good for leisure sailing, family outing, for the begginers starters... First of all, it's covenient. That's impportant, it's easy to maneuver, it's easy to get started."
