In the spring of 1996, the Baltic 67 was shipped down to the Mediterranean where later it was rigged and launched in Italy. Through the summer season of sailing in 1996 this yacht showed an incomparable level of sailing performance.The original philosophy for this project was to design and build a very comfortable and high quality cruising yacht that would be lighter and faster than any other "full interior" yacht of the same size. The concept was worked out in co-operation between the owner, R&J Design and Baltic Yachts. Bruce Farr did the Naval Architecture for the project.
The philosophy and idea of the project was achieved by using extremely high technology in form of materials and methods. Pre-preg carbon was used in all applications with the addition of Aramide in the outer skin of the hull. These laminates were cured during 20 hour period under vacuum and high temperatures, conditions of 85°C (185 Fahrenheit).
Some of the "performance features" on the boat were:
Carbon rudder
Deep keel with a welded stainless steel keel fin and an extremely large lead buld
Carbon mast and booms
The interior was built up from light sandwich panels with just a thin teak veneer on all visible surfaces.
We had very high expectations for this yacht regarding the target weight and the performance, so we were absolutely thrilled that she managed to meet all our requirements and more.
