About the Wasa 410

Swedish designer Leif Ängermark created this well-balanced cruising sailboat for Wasa Yachts in 1980, establishing a design that appeals to sailors seeking comfortable coastal and offshore passages. Built with solid fiberglass construction, the Wasa 410 measures just over 41 feet overall with a moderate beam of nearly 12 feet, providing stable sailing characteristics without sacrificing performance. The masthead sloop rig delivers respectable sailing ability with 817 square feet of sail area, while the fin keel and spade rudder configuration offers responsive handling and good windward performance. With a displacement of 16,380 pounds and substantial ballast of 6,930 pounds, this yacht tracks well in varying conditions and provides the stability serious cruising sailors appreciate. The comfort ratio of 26.28 indicates motion characteristics well-suited for extended passages, while the capsize screening value of 1.86 suggests reasonable offshore capability when properly handled. Hull speed potential reaches 7.76 knots, making this a respectable passage-maker for crews planning coastal cruising or light offshore work. The SA/displacement ratio of 20.34 reflects moderate performance that balances sailing enjoyment with cruising comfort, typical of quality Scandinavian designs from this era.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 20.34
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 42.31
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 193.29
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 26.28
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 1.86
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.76 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
 3.17
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,415.40 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 20.35
