When we built this 87-footer in 1996, it was by far the largest and most ambitious project that Baltic had ever attempted. She had every conceivable appliance for the ultimate in luxury in cruising and would have been a heavy boat, except by using the vacuum-bagged epoxy construction this kept her displacement within very acceptable levels. The 87 incorporated a very advanced lifting keel system, virtually unique for its time, as was the decision to have two main engines, along with twin diesel generators.
The boat also incorporated many interesting features such as an underwater camera, this was not only to inspect the keel but also the the rudder. There were also a mast-mounted camera for safety both at sea and when moored. Perhaps the most impressive feature was the dinghy garage. Where part of the deck and transom folds up, allowing the hull to be lowered below the water to enable a water jet dinghy with an inboard engine to drive right up into the garage to get parked.
The test sails that were carried out in Pietarsaari showed a boat with extremely good sailing performance and easy-to-handle characteristics for its size. Due to the high tech building techniques the yacht's final weight could be kept fairly low, considering the type of yacht and equipment level, and this greatly contributed to the good performance.
