Production

edit

The design was built by Laguna Yachts in the United States, starting in 1982, with 400 boats completed by the time production ended.[1][2][5][6]

The Windrose 26 is a similar Turner design that was produced by Laguna concurrently. The Classic 26 was built starting in 1991 by Classic Yachts using the old Laguna Yachts tooling.[1][2][7][8][9][10]

Design

edit

The Laguna 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 3,900 lb (1,769 kg) and carries 1,500 lb (680 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 3.08 ft (0.94 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h).[2]
