Featured Boat 67' Baltic 67 1996 €1,800,000 Launched in 1996, this exceptional boat is quite comfortable, easy to handle and quite fast. In order to achieve those objectives the displacement was kept low to just 18.5 tons. With the latest generation of electrical and electronic equipment, the boat can be easily driven by just two persons. Motoring speed is cruising at 9.2 knots with an average consumption of 7 liters/hour. 10 knots: 12.5 liters/hour. Typical doownwind sailing performance with 25-30 knots wind: constant 15 knots with peaks at 17 knots. In order to reach the displacement and performance numbers required, the yacht had to be built using very high tech methods and materials: a 100% carbon pre-preg hull, deck and an interior all done using lightweight foam panels with thin teak facing. A carbon fiber shower stall may seem silly, but it helps in this type of pursuit. Any recent modifications have always been made with weight considerations. However, after all is told the truly unique characteristic of this boat --aside from the sleek appearance and the undisputed performance-- is simply how well balanced she is. In almost three years and many miles in all types of sea conditions, the current owner along with his family and guests have never suffered from seasickness. This owner could only part with this irreplaceable source of joy and pride for the Baltic 78 canting keel yacht or a new Baltic 73 project.
