The Wasa 55 is a striking manifestation of the Swedish "Skerry Cruiser" (Skärgårdskryssare) philosophy, reimagined for the late 1970s performance market. Designed by the prolific Harry Becker and produced by Wasa Yachts in Södertälje, this 13.5-meter (44.3-foot) yacht is immediately recognizable for its exceptionally narrow 2.55-meter beam. This radical length-to-beam ratio creates a needle-like profile that prioritizes windward efficiency and aesthetic elegance over the high-volume interior trends that began to dominate the industry during its production run. With approximately 66 to 70 units produced between 1976 and the mid-1980s, the Wasa 55 remains a niche but highly respected performance cruiser, often described as a "modern classic" that bridges the gap between traditional square-meter rule boats and contemporary fiberglass construction. According to the historical records at Wasa Yachts, the model was a foundational success for the yard, establishing their reputation for "Scandi-quality" joinery and robust laminates.
