Not easy to categorise, this yacht can be placed firmly in a class of her own.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277318/image/large-8edcaf7666ab834cf91d3ef198878160.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277318"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven33.84m (111'0&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>’s experienced owner’s project manager, Garth Brewer of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4627" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A2B Marine Projects S.L.

Her designer explained that the owner was keen to combine the need for weight saving with the opportunity to expose the remarkable carbon structure of the yacht to create a unique interior design aesthetic.The focal point of the interior is centred around the glazed sides of the large cockpit, dubbed the ‘bird’s nest’, which forms a type of inverted observation ‘dome’ allowing occupants to view the carbon dominated accommodation. The glazing is in fact Perspex, which is considerably lighter than toughened glass, representing an overall saving of 250 kilograms. It is reinforced with a criss-cross pattern of carbon mullions which gave it its bird’s nest description. Further weight saving is achieved by minimising the amount of caulking between each pane replacing some of it with a foam fillet.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277320/image/large-cf22382cc4fec9d36413be803111aa06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277320">Spacious saloons are located fore and aft of the bird’s nest, the forward one laid out with a galley and dining areas and the aft space dedicated to the owner’s sleeping accommodation, with a large double centreline berth folding up against an interior bulkhead when the yacht is in performance mode. There’s also a passage berth or sea cabin to starboard. The aft section of the yacht is largely empty, but forward there’s accommodation for four guests in two cabins and extensive crew accommodation including a captain’s cabin.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277319/image/large-94bedb6827ba630b348e74b2e6334207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277319">Further weight saving has been achieved by modifying a custom bamboo seat in one of the shower/head compartments with carbon tubing made to look like bamboo, complete with its characteristic rings and a remarkably realistic painted finish.The naval architects and structural engineers behind her are <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6261" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Botin Partners Naval Architecture (Company)">Botin Partners</a> and PURE Design respectively, both at the leading edge of America’s Cup design. “This project undoubtedly represents one of the biggest challenges <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic Yachts</a> has ever embraced,” said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic Yachts</a> Executive Vice President, Henry Hawkins. “But that is what we do – we have a long history of bringing leading edge innovation to the fore.

To ensure as fair a hull finish as possible, a carbon mould was preferred to reduce excessive heat differences and thus distortion in the curing process. “We re-assessed the hull coating schedule to reduce weight using light primers and filler instead of Ultra-Build to reach the acceptable industry standards – in effect coatings do the job of filler,” he said. Using this technique in a superyacht is unprecedented.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277322/image/large-835557e8db05616075deef0313d5da13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277322">Hull and deck construction use carbon IM fibre pre-preg, employing the highest quality fibres on the market, and a Kevlar honeycomb sandwich throughout.

He pointed out, however, that all the adhesives suitable for bonding this material to bulkheads were compared for weight, the final choice resulting in a saving of 6 kilograms. In terms of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven33.84m (111'0&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a> project that’s a big number.Baltic Yachts also revisited all weight saving opportunities shaving 100 grams off every carbon pipe bracket, making carbon cable trays even lighter and switching out steel hydraulic pipework for lighter hosing which has saved 160 kilograms. “We’ve even reduced the weight of the shower door from 13.5kg per m² to just 2.3kg m²,” said Mattias.Even as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven33.84m (111'0&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a> neared completion, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic</a> build team were continuing to identify weight saving opportunities including replacing the metal clips holding the lightweight carbon tubular accommodation framework in place. “Östen Sundelin, one of the team, reckoned we could 3D print them in a far lighter material so we went ahead and made that saving,” said Mattias. In-house 3D printing is increasingly used at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/327" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baltic Yachts (Company)">Baltic</a> to fashion custom items to save weight and optimise design, the complex titanium head of the yacht’s retractable propulsion system (RPS) mechanism being a case in point.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277325/image/large-8578de1b3f2404852f66afe32e45dc33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277325">PropulsionFor propulsion and generating, the design team settled on a diesel electric hybrid system for lower emissions and efficient weight distribution. A Swiss 130kW Phi-Power AG electric propulsion motor is located just aft of amidships and twin 80kW Yanmar generators, optimised to save weight, located further aft. These charge two battery banks which power the main propulsion motor, hydraulic pumps and accommodation services. The drive train is completed by a retractable propeller designed with carbon blades and a titanium hub.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277606/image/large-da835c315ba3bb80f225983196c0b9be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277606">Sailing performance<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> are responsible for her carbon mast and she features a North Sails 3Di upwind wardrobe using Helix structured luff technology. A variety of Code and asymmetric sails can be set off her 8m long bowsprit.Something Raven’s design engineers and Baltic had to pay particular attention to was the yacht’s almost full beam mainsail sheet track. Because Raven will be developing so much apparent wind, she’ll be sailing most of the time with a wind angle well forward of the beam. So, like a multihull, the main is likely to be almost permanently sheeted home while trim adjustments are made by moving the mainsheet car along its track.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277607/image/large-84dcef3261f5a3f95bb602d3fdeb5e05.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277607">With a beam of over 7.4m and her accentuated hull chine, ‘driving’ Raven will feel more like sailing a multihull than a monohull and appropriate trimming and handling techniques will be needed to extract her full potential.Following her launch, initial trials off Jakobstad will see <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven33.84m (111'0&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a> sailing minus her foils. These will then be fitted, further trials in Finland will take place and following delivery she will leave for a destination providing the conditions in which she can be worked up steadily as her potential is realised.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277608/image/large-effc0da3f0ac388658508688d30841b3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277608">
