The Windrose 22 and Laguna 22 are a series of American trailerable sailboats that were designed by W. Shad Turner as cruisers and first built in 1977.
Designer W. Shad Turner drew boats for both California-based companies and did adaptations after the buy-out.
They have fractional sloop rigs, raked stems, plumb transoms and transom-hung rudders, controlled by a tiller.
[5] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Many skippers like to think of both the Windrose 22 and the Balboa 22 swing keel versions as very similar to both the Catalina 22 ... and the Venture 22 ...
There is some merit in this appraisal, except that, while all four of the boats have roughly the same total displacement (about 1,800 to 2,300 pounds), the Windrose and Balboa have considerably more ballast and less structural materials.
