The Baltic 77 is a lifting-keel performance sloop for a European client.
We were contacted in the summer of 2005 regarding a new project that was under planning and were pleased to receive a bid package for the project at the end of August. The contract for this project was signed during the 2006 Düsseldorf Boat Show.
The concept and philosophy of this yacht goes very well with our company philosophy of using high-grade materials and methods enabling a lighter and stronger construction. This results in improved sailing and handling characteristics and is therefore a project we look forward to be a part of.
Hull and deck laminates are all Epoxy Carbon Laminates, utilizing among other things our latest experience in infusion-type laminating methods.
The owner’s team is made up of Naval Architect Bill Tripp and Project Manager Jens Cornelsen, in addition to the owner himself. This gave us the opportunity to work together with Bill Tripp and his team again, and to work together for the first time with Jens Cornelsen. The interior styling is done by Rhoades Young; this was also our first cooperation with them.
Delivery took place in the beginning of July 2008.
