Production edit
The design was built by Laguna Yachts in the United States, starting in 1982, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]
The Windrose 26 is a related design to the Laguna 26 which was produced by the company at the same time. Both designs led to the Classic 26, which was produced by Classic Yachts starting in 1991, using the Laguna molds, after Laguna Yachts went out of business.[1][2][7][8][9][10]
Design edit
The Windrose 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 3,600 lb (1,633 kg) and carries 1,200 lb (544 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 3.08 ft (0.94 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The cabin headroom is 6.17 in (16 cm).[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[11]
The design has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h).[2]
