Rosättra Laurin28 (1965) For sale

Laurin Koster 28 – classic Swedish design | wooden version | early production years

For sale is a unique vessel – the Laurin Koster 28, a classic sailing yacht designed by Arvid Laurin, representing the legendary Scandinavian “Koster” style.

This particular example comes from the early production period and was built using traditional wooden construction, making it especially appealing to enthusiasts of classic boatbuilding.

I would describe the condition of the vessel as good.

About the yacht

The Laurin Koster 28 is a design inspired by traditional fishing boats from the west coast of Sweden. It is a yacht with a distinctly seaworthy character – designed with safety, stability, and reliable handling in more demanding conditions in mind.

This is not a typical recreational boat – it is a vessel for those who value tradition, solid construction, and seaworthiness over the compromises of modern designs.

Technical specifications

* Length overall: approx. 8.3 m
* Beam: approx. 2.5 m
* Draft: approx. 1.35–1.4 m
* Displacement: approx. 3.3 t
* Ballast: approx. 1.6 t (lead)
* Rig: masthead sloop
* Keel: full keel

Advantages:

* excellent seaworthiness (bluewater type)
* outstanding stability due to high ballast ratio
* strong directional stability – typical for full keel yachts
* safety and predictability in more demanding conditions

Limitations (typical for this class):

* lower speed in light winds
* limited maneuverability in marinas, especially when reversing
* more compact interior due to the narrow, classic hull shape

The Laurin Koster 28 is a yacht with a strong identity – small, yet fully capable offshore, designed in an era when seaworthiness was the priority rather than maximizing space or speed.

An ideal choice for a connoisseur of classic yachts or someone looking for a solid, safe boat with timeless character.
