Baltic 70C
This is a very traditional
yacht, a so-called "CLASSIC" as far as the aesthetics are concerned.
Both the interior and exterior were given a classic design and
this was very much reflected in the wood paneling. The classical
style was carried throughout to the very last detail with the
joint co-operation between the owner, designer Bill Dixon Design
and Project manager David Barwell.
In spite of its very
traditional aesthetics this yacht represents the most modern thinking
with respect to materials, methods and equipment selected.
One of the challenges
with this project was the wood work; there was so much attention
to detail. Disguising the carbon and other hi-tech materials was
extremely difficult, but still everything had to be handcrafted
individually, whilst still maintaining a very high quality throughout.
But to us at Baltic it just clarified one important part of this
project, which we already knew and that is that we have extremely
talented carpenters.
This yacht
sailed away from our yard late autumn 1997 in temperatures below
freezing with snow and ice on the deck. The weather she is sailing
in right now is more pleasant. The owner has done several successful
ocean crossings with her.
