Baltic Yachts

Additional Specs, Equipment and Information:

Designed and built for her current owner and his forth Baltic Yacht,  CANICA is an exceptionally well maintained carbon composite cruising yacht designed by notable  naval architects Judel/Vrolijk and built at the Finnish composite specialists - Baltic Yachts.   CANICA enjoys the build quality of the finest yachts in the world with the advantage of being light and stiff owing to her Carbon Composite structure.   Sailing performance and enjoying a good, fast sail are at the heart of this yacht’s ethos.   The choice of design, systems, layout and finish are all meant to enhance sailing pleasure.  

Always and only a personal and family yacht, CANICA’s classic, rich and timeless mohogany interior was the product of John Munford designs to the owner’s wishes.   The layout and interior decor - with four (4) double Owner’s/Guest cabins ensuite - are understated and functional allowing light and ventilation while creating an ambiance of comfort in almost any sea conditions.  True to the owner’s Scandinavian roots, his accommodations includes a full size Sauna and private access to the aft deck areas.  The interior of CANICA is quiet, elegant and well suited to offshore passages in comfort, safety and style. 

Now available at less than a third of her current replacement cost, CANICA has had constant maintenance and upgrading since launching.  She was built to Det Norsk Veritas classification and is currently in class. 

The well designed deck and sail handling systems allow for less crew requirements and has been proven since launching. All systems, mast/rigging, interior and decor have been replaced/refitted as needed and CANICA is ready to sail anywhere.   

A key factor that influences Mega sailing yacht performance and handling characteristics is the displacement.  CANICA's displacement is significantly less than other yachts her size and this factor allows for faster passages and easier handling (as an example her passage time in 2012 from The Caribbean to Spain was 13 days). 

Interior design by John Munford -  interior is built in cored light weight joinery finished in raised paneled Mahogany with satin finish periodically oiled to give a rich yet light wood color.

The hull constructed primarily of Unidirectional Carbon, woven Carbon and Biax Carbon. Layer of Kevlar woven fibers used in the outer skin of the hull laminate for added impact resistance.

The sandwich material used is aircraft grade End-Grain-Balsa above water line, with Core Cell below water line.

Main structural bulkheads are built up of Pre-preg Carbon laminates on a Core-Cell / Nomex / Balsa sandwich construction. Bulkheads are manufactured on a heated pressure table.

The yacht is divided into 5 watertight compartments:  forepeak, forward accommodation, engine and winch room, aft accommodation and lazarette.

External Bulb-type lifting keel. The shape of the keel has been developed with the emphasis of lowering the ballast center-of-gravity as much as possible without adding drag or decreasing lift. Lowering and lifting of the keel is by means of a hydraulic cylinder recessed into the keel-fin and attached to a strong beam at the top of the keel box using bearings and keel position locking devices.  The keel structure is designed for two positions, fully up and fully down.

The cantilevered semi-elliptical balanced spade rudder is molded from Epoxy/Carbon laminates around Core-Cell foam.

Opening transom hydraulic hatch/platform includes dinghy storage, swimming ladder,  dinghy fueling system.  The transom hatch has teak on the inside to work as a swim platform when deployed.  There is a roller device for easy launching and loading of the dingy. The hatch is designed to take the dinghy load on rollers and pulled in by winch into the garage for secure storage. The transom has a swimming platform with recessed steps on both sides.  Steps and platform covered with teak. The transom hatch is opened by hydraulic cylinders and hinges installed between deck and transom joint.

The deck is built off a male plug. The laminates are vacuum bagged to achieve the best possible strength and resin ratio. The deck is constructed primarily of Unidirectional Carbon, woven Carbon and Biax Carbon. The resin used in the laminate is a high-grade Epoxy resin.  The deck laminates system is prepreg carbon.

Sprayhoods cover the main and aft entrances.  A small sprayhood for bad weather conditions and a large one for more protection in the tropics. The sprayhoods are made of waterproof and sun resistant canvas.  Sprayhood storage, in down position, recessed in deck.

Bimini top above helmsmans seats and instruments securely fixed to deck to stay in place when sailing.

Sun awning on either side of the main boom, covering the deckhouse and the cockpit. Furled in and out on a tube.

Teak deck on sidedecks, cockpit floors, seats, on the coamings and on the pilothouse top.  The teak is epoxy glued to the deck using vacuum bagging technique.  No screws and plugs used except for the in the king planks and margin boards.  Original thickness of teak deck was approx 12 mm, and on pilothouse top was 9 mm.  Approximate current teak thickness is 8-9mm.

The centre cockpit has port and stbd “U” seating areas and has one smaller table on starboard and one large on port side.  The table base in white composite. The base has an ice cooler built in box with opening access from center cockpit passage.  

Canvas storage cover for the table.  Style for the cockpit table drawn by John Munford design.  Cockpit cushions with closed cell foam.

Pilothouse Windows are fixed and made of laminated hardened glass securely attached and sealed off to the deck. 

A “soft patch” for the engine removal in the saloon floor as well in the deck roof.

A separate room for pumps, valves, filters, washing machine and dryer. This room is noise insulated and well ventilated. Filters, membranes and control panel for watermaker are installed in the pump room. Main electrical panel for DC and AC.

A fresh water pressure system with 3 composite tanks two 1250 liter, one 900 liter and one stainless steel 500 liter are installed.

The main hot water pipes are insulated throughout and are a “circulating” system with a hot water circulating pump, by Danfoss, in order to have immediately hot water at the taps. Shower and water faucet for cold and hot pressurized water.

Two Sigmar water heater are installed. Heater capacity is two times 120 liters-  total of 240 liters.  Water heaters are heated by diesel generator 33 KW cooling water and 3 KW element (220) 380V/AC.

Galley exhaust fan ventilation duct exits at dorades on deck situated on top of galley. This dorade and duct is made from metallic material for fire safety. Dorades can be closed in case of fire with a lid that is to be screwed on. 

There are Dorades throughout drawing forced air into Yacht, as well as via the central Air Condition system.

CANICA was built for a very experienced yachtsman who has previously commissioned and owned Four Baltic Yachts.  She was constructed using the best lightweight methods and materials available at considerable cost which has resulted in an extremely strong and impressive performance yacht from a yard which leads the field in this form of build.

Maintained to the highest standards, CANICA is an exhilarating performer which has reached speeds in excess of 20 knots!  Her interior, designed by John Munford is classic, light and inviting.  Above all CANICA is a striking yacht which is versatile due to her centre board keel and if it ever gets cold at sea there is a steam sauna too!

Canica is undergoing refit maintenance work at the shipyard during February 2013 including teak deck refitting, interior revarnishing and mechanical service.  

The interior layout for CANICA is exceptional and very specifically designed for the Owner's intended use which was to be world cruising.  Baltic Yachts has now studied several professionally designed options for altering the interior layout to suit as desired.  Alternative uses for the yacht could require a different layout and Baltic Yachts has studied this refit option for the owner.  Please contact the Central sales Agent for specifics.
