Edit - yes Lagoon: https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/1163638-lagoon-bulkhead-fiasco-possibly-one-largest-boating-manufacturing-disasters.html

I recall seeing some pretty scary video from Sailing Nohoa as their boat flexed and even floorboards were seperating.

That's right, Lagoon have the bulkhead issue and Leopard steering. The walkout front lounge is pretty awesome in a protected anchorage but gives me pause thinking about heavy seas with green water coming over the bow. Every boat I have sailed has seen it's share of heavy weather and I imagine a bow filled with water in 5 seconds could be unsettling. I really want that stuff to roll off quickly or pass through the net.
