About the LAGUNA 22
The LAGUNA 22 is similar to the earlier WINDROSE 22 and the BALBOA 22. Sail area: -Main: 101 ft² / 9.38 m² -Jib: 105 ft² / 9.75 m² -Genoa (150%): 160 ft² / 14.86 m² -Spinnaker: 359.5 ft² / 33.4 m² Max outboard power: 10 hp
Designed by Shad Turner and built by Laguna Yachts (USA) from 1983–1987, the Laguna 22 is a compact fractional sloop with a displacement of 2280.0 lb. While the exact hull count is unknown, owner reports highlight the boat's manageable size and specific structural vulnerabilities.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a lightweight, easy-to-handle package, particularly those comfortable with DIY maintenance given the prevalence of owner-applied Cetol and Interlux coatings.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.43 and a D/L ratio of 148.4, the Laguna 22 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a bluewater passagemaker, lacking the heavy displacement and robust construction typically required for extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- It compares to other late-1980s 21-22 foot fractional sloops like the O'Day 22 or Catalina 22, sharing similar beam dimensions (8.0 ft) and roles as entry-level cruisers, though the Laguna's 11.16 comfort ratio suggests a slightly more motion-dampened ride than some ultra-light contemporaries.
