Once again Baltic Yachts is setting a standard for luxurious cruising yachts that excel in sailing performance. Drawing from the experience of building the Judel/Vrolijk & co designed 87ft pilot house yacht in 1996 and several custom yacht projects between 60 and 97ft since then, the design team at Baltic Yachts together with the European client created this 73ft. The project was started in the spring of 1998 and was delivered late 1999.
With the rising popularity of pilothouse and raised deck salons, there is a new challenge in retaining that great sailing performance. There is additional weight in the superstructure and generally more equipment in this type of yacht, compared to the more "traditional" cruising yacht that we have grown accustomed to.
This ment that the builder and the designer had to spend increasingly more effort in keeping the displacement, sail area and ballast ratios in the correct relation. High tech materials such as Carbon fiber, Aramide in combination with Epoxy resin plus a balsa, foam or honeycomb sandwich material where used and in addition to this the process of utilizing a vacuum bagging laminating technique. These are the tools that when used correctly have made it possible to make the necessary weight savings possible.
The goal that we have set out to achieve is a light/medium displacement yacht with a ballast to displacement ratio in the vicinity of 40 % and a tall non overlapping sail plan, a very stiff and powerful yacht. System engineering and equipment choice is aimed at simplicity yet use all the best components available today. Many of these components are inherently heavy which puts additional emphasis on weight control in the construction process. The hull was constructed from Carbon and Kevlar fibers with foam sandwich core , the deck and superstructure were all Carbon. All the laminates were in Epoxy and again utilizing the vacuum bagging laminating techniques.
