Wasa 360 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Wasa 360 means looking at a small, serious Swedish class: fewer than 100 were built across Wasa Yachts and a few other yards, all solid fiberglass with lead fin keels and a fractional sloop rig. She is a 36-footer of about 11,000 pounds with a deep draft near 6.5 feet, so the buying conversation starts and ends with where you intend to keep and sail her.
Layouts on the Used Market
Standard layout includes a galley and a toilet facility. Each hull must be walked through on its own terms to judge the berth count and interior arrangement. Expect a conventional aft-cockpit cruiser layout of the late-seventies Swedish school rather than any published plan you can memorize ahead of a viewing.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The Wasa 360 commonly carries a self-tacking jib, an autopilot, and a chartplotter as fitted equipment. For a buyer those three mean different things: the self-tacking jib points to single-handed or short-handed usability and suggests the rig was set up for ease rather than all-out racing, the autopilot indicates the boat was sailed on longer passages or wanted for them, and the chartplotter is simply table stakes for any modern resale. The source brief lists no frequent owner upgrades or often-seen extras beyond those, so treat anything else aboard — a wind vane, a second battery bank, a rebuilt engine — as that individual hull's history, not a class norm.
What to Inspect
The deep fin keel and solid glass mean you should look hard at the keel-to-hull joint and any prior grounding damage, since a solid hull shows impact as local cracking rather than a spreading core problem. The slightly overrigged sail plan places above-average load on chainplates and deck hardware, so check chainplate bedding and the bulkhead landings for any history of movement. With an estimated 30-horsepower diesel and roughly 32 gallons of fuel and water, confirm the engine starts cold and the tanks are sound.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for these boats is Finland. For a buyer, the short version is:
- Confirm the keel joint and check for grounding repairs
- Inspect chainplate bedding and deck hardware landings
- Verify the diesel starts and runs cold
- Test the self-tacking jib and autopilot if fitted
- Measure draft against your marina's stated limit before offering
