Wasa Atlantic was commissioned by a group of faithful shipyard customers who felt they had "outgrown" the existing range of yachts and needed something larger. This required that the new yacht not only maintained the usual racing qualities of a yacht, but that it would be much more 'out of touch' with its predecessors. It is said - done: the shipyard has created a very unusual boat, the narrowest in the range, very light and with a large sailing area.
Initially the shipyard did not intend to bring this boat to the wide market, leaving it a kind of exclusive, accessible only for regular customers - the special status of the boat was further emphasized by an unusual index in the name.
