About Dignity

We are Helen and Steve Southwood. In October 2008 we moved aboard Dignity, our Lagoon 420 and began our travels.

For a long time our dream has been to travel the world. A couple of years into the new millennium we decided to do our travelling by sailboat. In 2005 we bought Dignity. Dignity is hull #20 off the Lagoon 420 assembly line. She was launched on April 23rd, 2007 and was in service in the CatamaranCo charter fleet for her first year before we moved aboard.
