Two Hulls, One Heart: An Owner’s Song for Mermaid’s Octopus

Every Lagoon starts as a dream. For Lyell and Rachael, that dream now has a name: Mermaid’s Octopus, their new Lagoon sailing catamaran, being finished at the yard in France and getting ready to ship.

While the boat was still coming together, Yanik and Michel set up a video tour so they could follow the build. Michel’s renders showed them what the finished boat would look like. Lyell and Rachael took those images, made an AI music video, and wrote an original song to go with it. It is called “Two Hulls, One Heart”, and they kindly let us share it.

Video and song by Lyell & Rachael, SV Mermaid’s Octopus. Made with AI from the boat’s renders. Watch it on their YouTube channel.

What following a build looks like

Ordering a new Lagoon means a long wait between signing and the first sail, and most owners want to be part of it rather than simply hear about it at the end. With Signature, you are kept close to the build:

• Renders before the boat exists. We show you your layout, colors and options as they will look, so the decisions feel real.
• Video tours from the yard. When your hull is coming together in France, we organize a look at it, so you can see progress, not just read about it.
• One team, start to finish. The people who specified the boat with you are the ones who follow the build, the shipping and the commissioning.

“You have both been very helpful and instrumental in helping us develop the vision that we both have had for this amazing new vessel,” Lyell and Rachael wrote to us. That is exactly the part of the job we enjoy most.
