The Vindö 40 represents the pinnacle of Swedish "Orust" craftsmanship from the 1970s, bridging the gap between traditional wooden aesthetics and modern fiberglass durability. Produced primarily between 1970 and 1982, the 40 is often cited as the quintessential Vindö, featuring the brand's signature mahogany coachroof married to a robust GRP hull. Despite its numerical designation, the boat measures 9.43 meters (approximately 31 feet), a naming convention common to the yard that often reflected sail area or internal volume rather than length overall. Designed by Carl Andersson, the Vindö 40 was the last wooden-plug design he completed, and it remains a sought-after classic for sailors who value the warmth of a wooden yacht without the structural maintenance of a full timber hull.
