Baltic 70RP
This is an ultra-modern extremely
high performance yacht.
The most modern high-tech
materials were used in order to build the yacht as light as ever
possible without sacrificing strength and finish.
The hull and deck are
constructed from 100 per cent honeycomb Nomex sandwich. Even the
interior was built in carbon and Nomex using only a fine wood
veneer. Similar attention to detail was also used in the smallest
aspects of the yacht. For example, most of the metal parts and
lifeline stanchions were made in titanium, but polished to give
the look of stainless steel.
The result was a 70ft
sailing yacht that was light with a large sail area and ahigh
ballast percent, this being 57% of the hull's total weight in
the keel. This in turn gave enough power to take the yacht to
speeds/ performance seen only in very few of the best racing machines
in the world, but without loosing any of the comfort and high
class interior which enabled very comfortable cruising indeed.
In order to achieve
this we used materials and methods that are well beyond the standards
seen in even the extreme times of yacht building.
Although built in 1997,
the Baltic 70RP remains a very modern boat even today.
