Baltic 130 My Song judged best yacht at World Superyacht Awards

15 May 2017

The Baltic 130 My Song, the latest all carbon multi-role super-sailing yacht from Baltic Yachts, fought off the challenge of five of the world’s finest yachts to win the World Superyacht Award for the best sailing yacht between 30m to 39.9m.

The highly competitive shortlist emphasised the scale of My Song’s achievement, announced at a gala ceremony at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy on May 13th.

This is the fourth consecutive year in which Baltic Yachts have won this prestigious award. This success continues to prove Baltic Yachts’ ability to bring design alive through the most advanced carbon composite building techniques. This exceptional achievement comes hot on the heels of the successful launch of the Baltic 175 Pink Gin VI in Jakobstad, Finland. She is the biggest carbon fibre sloop afloat and will be delivered to her owner this summer.

My Song is not only the latest high performance, genuine multi-role super sailing yacht to be launched by Baltic Yachts, but she also benefits from a plethora of new ideas.

Features include:

  • All carbon/Corecell/Nomex composite construction
  • Genuine multi-role design
  • Stunning custom interior by Nauta Design
  • State of the art sound deadening
  • Racing/cruising Southern Spars rig mode options
  • Retractable Propulsion System (RPS) doubles as stern thruster
  • Remote control A-sail stowage system
  • Tapered keel fin for enhanced performance

Competing in top international events

There will be a chance to see her in the following events outside which she will be embarking on an extensive programme of cruising:

  • Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, May 30 to June 3, Porto Cervo
  • Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, September 30 to October 8
  • Yacht Club Costa Smeralda Atlantic Anniversary Regatta, starting on November 25 from Lanzarote in the Canaries, finishing in Virgin Gorda BVI

Judges sing My Song’s praises

The World Superyacht Awards winners’ statement said: “The judges were unsurprised that this yacht performs so well on the race track, regularly reaching 20-plus knots and boasting a top speed in excess of 30 knots in optimum conditions. But perhaps more surprising to the judges was that she is also a comfortable, feature-filled cruising yacht with excellent facilities for on-deck and below-deck dining and relaxing in addition to three well sized en suite guest cabins, and an admirable crew area for six in the stern.”
