Designed by Shad Turner and built by Laguna Yachts from 1983 to 1987, this compact 22-footer represents solid American craftsmanship from the 1980s production boat era. The fiberglass construction features a fin keel with transom-hung rudder configuration that provides responsive handling characteristics typical of modern sailboat design. With a displacement of 2,280 pounds and 900 pounds of ballast, the Laguna 22 strikes a reasonable balance between stability and performance for its size class. The fractional sloop rig carries 206 square feet of sail area, delivering a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 19.07 that suggests spirited sailing performance without being overly aggressive. The hull's 19-foot waterline length generates a theoretical hull speed of 5.84 knots. The boat's dimensions—21.58 feet overall with an 8-foot beam and 2.92-foot draft—make it well-suited for day sailing, weekend coastal cruising, and small boat racing. The comfort ratio of 11.16 indicates a relatively quick motion in a seaway, while the capsize screening formula of 2.43 suggests reasonable stability for protected waters sailing. This design appeals to sailors seeking an affordable entry into keelboat sailing or those wanting a manageable boat for single-handing in coastal waters.
