You've probably seen the story already - Raff and Sascha, the sailors behind Spear It Animal, one of YouTube's fastest-growing and most-watched sailing channels.
Taking on an extraordinary rebuild of a Lagoon 45 with a story unlike most.
Once listed for over $700,000 in pristine condition, this catamaran was flipped upside down into the mangroves by a hurricane, stripped by looters, and sold off by the insurance company. Even the original engines were gone - so Raff and Sascha got to choose a new setup from the ground up.
Their choice: twin NANNI N4.50 engines.
✔️ Mechanically injected - no ECU, no diagnostic software needed
✔️ Naturally aspirated - the largest non-turbo engine in our range, less to maintain
✔️ Proven Kubota block - serviceable in any port, worldwide
✔️ Low RPM, high torque - smooth and efficient, ideal for charging batteries at anchor
"We're gonna feel extremely comfortable going anywhere in the world knowing that we can fix this thing with a wrench and some pliers." - Spear It Animal.
We're proud to be part of their next chapter!
