EXTERIOR
RELAXING IN STYLE AFTER A DAYS SAILING
From Café Racer chic to Mediterranean cool, interior styling uses eco-materials like flax, linen and leather for sustainability and multiple-choice finishes.
From the Mediterranean eco-style of Jens Paulus to Design Unlimited’s powerful Café Racer theme, featuring tubular framed furniture, there’s a variety of finishes to choose from all offering an impressive contemporary look.
BUILT WITH FLAX
Baltic Yachts is constantly researching new eco-friendly materials and techniques for yacht building and by using naturally grown flax to reinforce this yacht’s hull her carbon footprint is dramatically reduced. More than 50% of the hull structure will use flax as a reinforcement which also has excellent sound deadening properties enabling us to save space by limiting the use of insulation.
ECO ALTERNATIVE FOR DECK
The yacht comes with a beautiful and durable alternative cork deck material from Marinedeck exterior. This sustainable, rot-free material is made from cork-oak harvested exclusively in Portugal where companies have committed to the Forest Stewardship Council. Marinedeck exterior has great non-slip qualities and is easy to maintain.

Pink Gin Verde & Open Season Sailing together
With performance edge and stunning looks, the Baltic 68 Café Racers are modern yachts reflecting the Café Racer era of the 1960s when London’s Rockers rode pared down, visually minimalist motor bikes designed for fast rides over short distance.
Riders and bikes were seen as disrupters displaying speed, status and rebellion – they had attitude.
REGATTA DEBUT
The first Baltic 68 Café Racer, Pink Gin Verde featuring a powerful and easy to handle sailplan impressed at her regatta debut in Les Voiles de St Tropez. The yacht is exploiting the latest thinking in sail technology using Doyle Structured Luff Technology. This reduces headstay sag by building support into the sailcloth itself and reducing the need to impose large stay loads.

Leaving Jakobstad
The video shows the first Baltic 68 Café Racer, Pink Gin Verde as she leaves Jakobstad for her maiden voyage.
Transport and launch
The Baltic 68 Café Racer was transported to our waterfront facilities and launched successfully end of May 2021.
Deck and hull release
This video shows the deck and hull release at our yard in Bosund for hull number one of the high performance, easy to sail Baltic 68 Café Racer. This eco-friendly yacht will be launched in the spring of 2021 and uses naturally grown flax in 50% of its hull structure.
Flax-reinforced hull
The first Baltic 68 Café Racer hull has been successfully laminated using a bespoke flax SPRINT product as we adopt more sustainable materials for our advanced composite structures. This yacht is thought to be the largest ever built using flax.
Mould ready and lamination underway
The video shows the 5-ton inverted mould being towed out of the construction hall before being lifted by cranes and carefully turned over. Once safely on the ground the mould was split open to remove the plug. The mould is now back in the construction hall where lamination of the first hull has already commenced in time for a Spring 2021 completion and launch.
The Shape of Things to Come
The video shows our skilled wood workers building the timber hull plug from which a mould will be taken. The plug comprises strip planking laid over temporary wooden frames which are set up to establish the precise shape of the hull. Thin wood veneers are then nail-gunned into position before the entire structure is faired to a perfect finish.
