Designed by Peter Norlin and launched in 2018, this modern 40-footer represents Sweden Yachts' commitment to combining Scandinavian craftsmanship with contemporary performance sailing. The fiberglass construction features a fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, delivering excellent upwind performance and responsive handling characteristics that make her equally suited for coastal cruising and competitive sailing. With a displacement of 17,196 pounds and ballast of 6,724 pounds, the Sweden Yachts 40 strikes an appealing balance between stability and spirited performance. Her fractional sloop rig carries 871.88 square feet of sail area, providing a sail area to displacement ratio of 21.02 that indicates strong light-air performance without being overly aggressive. The comfort ratio of 25.73 suggests she'll provide a lively but manageable motion at sea, while the capsize screening formula of 1.92 indicates good offshore stability. The 12.34-foot beam provides generous interior volume and sail-carrying power, while the 6.56-foot draft offers excellent windward ability. Her theoretical hull speed of 7.89 knots and modern underbody design by Norlin, known for his successful racing yachts, suggest this Sweden Yachts model will satisfy sailors seeking both cruising comfort and sailing performance in a well-built Scandinavian package.
