Used Windrose 5.5 Sailboats for Sale

The Windrose 5.5 is a small trailerable sailboat designed by W. Shad Turner and built by Laguna Yachts. It's described as a pocket cruiser and also a dinghy, suitable for day sailing, club racing, or teaching young sailors. Its production began in 1977. The builder, Laguna Yachts, was known for practical and accessible fiberglass sailboats, focusing on comfortable family cruisers and daysailers. The Windrose 5.5 is similar to the later Laguna 18, with some sources suggesting the Windrose 18 design was developed into the Windrose 5.5. There was an updated Windrose 5.5 released in the early 80s by Turner and Coastal Recreation that featured another foot of beam and a shallow, fixed lead keel.
