BALTIC 66 SEMI-CUSTOM

Delivery year: 2005-
Naval Architect: judel & vrolijk
Units built: 2

One of the main ideas behind this concept is to build a simple hull and deck mould that give the advantage of cost reduction and time saving in comparison to full custom projects, but will not be restricted to being identical to any other yacht - rather allowing for maximum flexibility in the layouts, etc. This judel/vrolijk & co designed yacht features the luxury interior associated with Baltic, inside a high performance yacht. In addition to being built to the customers´ individual needs, the Baltic 66´s efficiency and simplicity of rig and sail plan ensure that it will be an enjoyable and easy to handle as a shorthand cruising yacht.

Hull and deck construction will be built in advanced composites using Epoxy vacuum bagged sandwich laminates that are post-cured in order to achieve optimum strength. Main reinforcements in all laminates are unidirectional and multi-axial Carbon. The hull outer skin will incorporate layers of Aramid fibres for added impact resistance and safety. The interior is made out of vacuum Carbon laminates with foam sandwich and all visible surfaces are covered with a thin hard wood veneer.
