Laguna 24 Tall
Description
The Laguna 24 is a compact, trailerable coastal daysailer and cruiser produced by Laguna Yachts, designed for family fun, club racing, and light overnights with an emphasis on ease of handling, stability, and affordability. Built with a masthead sloop rig and a swing keel or fixed fin options, it offers responsive performance in moderate winds while featuring a cozy cuddy cabin sleeping 2–4, making it ideal for beginners or short-handed sailors on lakes, bays, or protected coasts. Known for its lightweight fiberglass construction and simple lines, the Laguna 24 competes with models like the Catalina 22 or Hunter 23, providing a balance of speed (PHRF ~240–260) and comfort without the complexity of larger boats. Approximately 200–300 units were built during its production run, with a strong used market for its low-maintenance appeal and trailerability (under 3,000 lbs. total weight).
