The Windrose 24 is a recreational keelboat built by Laguna Yachts in the United States between 1974 and 1983.[1][2][3][4][excessive citations]
Designed by W. Shad Turner, THE fiberglass hull has a cabin "pop-top" for increased headroom, a spooned raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel.
It has a fractional sloop rig.
The boat has a draft of 5.08 ft (1.55 m) with the keel extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a drop-down dinette table on the port side that forms a double berth. The optional sliding galley is located on the starboard side and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 52 in (132 cm) or 70 in (178 cm) with the cabin pop-top open.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.3 kn (11.7 km/h).[3]
