The Laguna 24 S is a quintessential example of the "pocket cruiser" era of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Built by Laguna Yachts under the direction of Bill Downing and designed by W. Shad Turner, this model is a direct descendant—and in many cases, a rebranded version—of the popular Windrose 24. It was engineered to bridge the gap between a trailerable daysailer and a capable coastal cruiser, offering a level of interior volume and stability that was often missing in its 20foot contemporaries. With its high freeboard and wide beam relative to its length, the 24 S was marketed toward young families and budgetconscious sailors who required a vessel that could be towed to various cruising grounds without sacrificing the creature comforts of a fixedkeel yacht.
