Luger Westwind 19
Description
The Westwind 19 is a small American fiberglass trailerable or daysailing cruiser designed and marketed by Luger Boats (Luger Industries), a company known in the 1970s–1980s for offering affordable kit boats and completed small sailboats with simple, conservative designs aimed at entry-level or budget-minded sailors. It features a masthead sloop rig with a conservative sail plan for easy handling in varied conditions, basic accommodations in a compact cuddy cabin suitable for coastal cruising or overnighting, and a focus on combining decent sailing performance with practical comfort rather than high-speed racing. Construction is typical fiberglass for the era (solid GRP hull), with an emphasis on affordability and accessibility for amateur or first-time owners. Production details are sparsely documented due to Luger’s kit-oriented business model; the model appears in sail data references as a short-lived or low-volume offering with no precise quantity built publicly recorded (likely a modest number as part of Luger’s small-craft lineup before the company shifted focus or ceased operations).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
