Fluid Sailing 

When an experienced and passionate owner was looking to build a daring new round-the-world super sailing yacht, he needed a builder that could match his level of innovation and boundary-pushing ideas. Enter, Baltic Yachts.

The nine-metre-long foil is mounted inside the hull below the waterline and extends outward from either side to deliver improved performance but with stability as its main purpose. “<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175392/image/large-30bdcb1d155d63a64774f8b8f551f425.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175392">In general terms, the DSS foil hugely decreases the heeling and pitching motions while underway,” Hawkins explains “What would be an impossible sit-down lunch under normal sailing conditions, now becomes a more manageable affair at sea, especially on bigger yachts such as this with its large deck spaces. It’s a long way from the top to the bottom at a heel angle of 20-22 degrees, so for that angle to be reduced by 10-12 degrees makes a massive difference.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175373/image/large-0bb1951eb0e57b151234ba5db2957e1b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175373">From a design perspective, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a> had to be so much more than just an eco-friendly experiment.

Simplicity, functionality, privacy and above all, comfort was what would become the common threads that connect every part of the yacht. “He had a dream of circumnavigating the world with this boat,” explains designer Lucio Micheletti, “and the project was born with this sole intention in mi<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/103588/image/large-160f6c1c90119076bfaf0ccdad0c1ef2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103588"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175358/image/large-70b4e7c2d48e3a6d0b6bd7972138210b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175358">Subsequently, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4626" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Micheletti + Partners (Company)">Micheletti + Partners</a> designed a modern craft inspired by the automotive world as a home-away-from-home with a functional living experience at its centre. A distinctive deckhouse wing appears to be floating effortlessly on top of a glass and wooden base - materials that were carried through to the fluid and airy interior. “We worked on the total wellbeing of the passengers, trying to evaluate every aesthetic, from acoustics to lighting. We opened a dialogue between life on board and the surrounding sea,” says Micheletti.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175439/image/large-37c6e79becc46865d0c83d0ca7524ec5.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175439"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175446/image/large-e79aa3528750ad3c1a3978f14f6c27f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175446">RestoreFor the Milan-based Micheletti, the project’s design was a highly personal journey. “I met the owner through this project and I found a very knowledgeable person, a lover of art and life at sea,” he recalls. “The true art of a yacht project lies in resonating with the owner, and we succeeded in creating a space where he can find a point of reference each time he returns to the boat. A place where he can recognise himself and that represents his personality.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175418/image/large-47fcbbde93a320a790bb07a399068702.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175418"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175444/image/large-673df69edaec1bda8585bc941b1fc7f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175444">Teak from the outside has been carried through as a central theme to the interior where it is used in various applications, from matte-finished flooring to high-gloss handrails. The large dinette and lounge area inside the deckhouse form the social heart of the yacht and transforms into a trendy and elegant relaxation area at night with enhanced mood lighting and an unobstructed view through the glazed windows that wrap around the structure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/103584/image/large-f161231990138913f7cbacd0f7e04af2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103584"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175445/image/large-1a8fe36bca54136d5ee6264a0130e9c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175445">Below deck, a three-cabin layout provides accommodation for up to six guests, culminating in the 65-square-metre full-beam master suite that is placed amidships. The suite features a unique 'gimbal bed' which contains a gyro-like device that stabilises the bed against the motion of the sea for maximum comfort, and the space is finished with a private lounge and study, a sauna and a hidden treadmill.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/103585/image/large-804edf4437f03399b049916a5f95e37d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103585"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175448/image/large-af82080d7834e21ebe353470b49c49a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175448">Recharge<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a> is the first electrically-driven sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic</a> has built and the first with regeneration capacity that could effectively deliver a zero-emissions cruising experience. “People’s desire to become more aware of the environment and their footprint on the planet is a key point of focus for us,” says Hawkins. While under sail, the highly-efficient front-facing propeller acts as a hydro-generator which turns the 420 kW electric motor, storing energy in the six banks of batteries on board. “When you are sailing and regenerating power at the same time, you should not have to burn any fossil fuels. The supply is around 20 KW and upwards, which should be enough for the household load.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175388/image/large-4771cc488e33c058bbb02d3c3206a7d2.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175388">One of the requirements was to achieve a 10-hour operational range for the batteries without the need for generator power. These generators can also be used to charge the batteries while sailing, creating silent power for when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a> reaches her destination. “The regeneration, storage and use of power on yachts is becoming a very hot topic and we already have similar drives with regenerative capabilities being installed on the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/51228" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Full steam ahead on new Baltic 117 and 146 superyacht projects (2020-04-30 10:30:00 +0200)">Baltic 117</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/51132" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts unveils eco-friendly Baltic 68 Cafe Racer yacht (2020-03-31 15:00:00 +0200)">68 Cafe Racer</a> projects that are currently under construction.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175369/image/large-ad248f92311c30c001c57504e4874fa1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175369">ResetDesigned to be operated in remote areas around the world, simplicity in every system on board was a key part of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova’s</a> brief.

(Company)">Rondal</a> with Carbo-link standing rigging supports an all-round sail plan that is easy to handle for her crew and requires minimal maintenance. “The rig is designed to be left-hoisted in areas where you might not expect it,” explains Hawkins. “Instead of a Code Zero, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a> has a quad sail that is double sheeted, enabling the sail to be used across a much wider wind range where another sail might have to be taken down.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175321/image/large-1320deaab6a7b7f4a7ac9e607dbbb1df.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175321">The big staysail also comes with a few tricks of its own, running on a self-tacking track which eliminates the need to use sheets when reaching upwind using this sail. With sails generally designed for optimum performance at full-hoist, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova’s</a> efficient square-top main is equally powerful with one reef in it, allowing the head of the sail to come in below the top deflector and simplifying gybing and tacking manoeuvres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175315/image/large-fda0a2d6361e797a3ae8de870396507e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175315"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/175309/image/large-3d0bfbe8bb2defb303d0b2fb1bd048ce.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/175309">Relax<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a> exudes an air of relaxation and tranquillity palpable from the minute one steps aboard. The spacious guest cockpit and inviting built-in lounge are where family and friends get together after a long day at sea. A floating hardtop extends aft from the deckhouse and creates a wind-free corner for guests to relax while underway, with single-piece drop-down glass panels providing shelter without interrupting the view – an area that Micheletti explains required some creative thinking. “The most complex part was the design of the deckhouse with its ‘wing’ which had to protect the cockpit and make the boat ‘fly’,” he says.&nbsp;The signature teak-cladded side pillars in particular were designed as a functional detail instead of a decorative feature, while still suiting the overall aesthetic.

A full-beam owner’s suite can be found amidships and accommodation for up to eight crew is located in the aft section of the yacht.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/103584/image/large-f161231990138913f7cbacd0f7e04af2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103584"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/103583/image/large-75f568971fd52090e5c038519c76179f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103583">While her interior is striking, the yacht really stands out in her eco-friendliness - an important factor for the owner alongside comfort and economy - boasting an electric propulsion system, with a compact and virtually silent electric motor capable of delivering 425kW. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/103585/image/large-804edf4437f03399b049916a5f95e37d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103585">A hydrogeneration system allows for a large lithium ion bank to be charged and lets the yacht’s hotel systems run in ‘silent mode’ for up to nine straight hours without the need to recharge.&nbsp;Furthermore, her avid-sailor owner says: “I want her to sail, not motor sail, but she has to be easy to handle for the crew so automated control was important.”&nbsp; She is equipped with electric winches and hydraulic systems are reduced to a minimum. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/103589/image/large-5c1984a160ad6ef4535cb9323175a499.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103589">The priority that the owner gave to comfort and safety inspired him to opt for a Dynamic Stability System foil, an athwartships sliding board set just below the waterline designed to reduce heel and dramatically dampen pitching motion in a seaway. “I am very pleased to see that heel angle can already be reduced by eight degrees in trials and there is plenty more fine-tuning to come when we understand more about how to trim the yacht in conjunction with the foil,” comments <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6507" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canova43.3m (142'1&quot;)Baltic Yachts2019">Canova</a>’s owner. “The reduction in pitching motion is amazing. Any performance increase in terms of speed will be a bonus,” he adds.
