The Wasa 30, a 36' light displacement fractionally rigged sloop, was designed by Leif Angermark and built in Sweden by Wasa Marin A.B.
There are two versions of the Wasa 30, the 30HR (High Rig) and the 30LR (Low Rig). 'SysterSol' in the image above and described below, is the 30HR which will account for her high performance.

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 22.2 suggests that, in the right hands, the Wasa 30 will have enough performance to leave most other sailboats of similar waterline length well astern.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 56.2 means that the Wasa 30 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of just 91.7 places her firmly in the ultralight category, making the Wasa 30 more suited for racing than cruising.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 18.6 suggests that the Wasa 30 will have the motion underway to that of a lightweight racing boat. Crew comfort will often be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Upwind in lively conditions the Wasa 30 will be tender and slam enough to shake your fillings out with a motion that most cruising sailors have no desire to get used to.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 tells us that a Wasa 30 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
