The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould. The method allows tighter tolerances, reduced fairing, and improved overall performance. The use of prepreg carbon further enhances weight reduction and structural efficiency. The first hull will feature a 6.5-metre beam and a displacement of 29 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399042/image/large-2c88150ed3813ffab581ec62879f0207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399041/image/large-0e4d08534bd2b91e9b226151299b8084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399041">Owners of the Café Racer 80 series will be able to select from a palette of bold hull colours, including red, yellow, deep grey, and turquoise. Lamination is scheduled to commence in August, following the Finnish summer break, with delivery expected in summer 2027. Male plug construction is currently underway as part of preparation for the female carbon tooling.

The authority is expected to consider the request as part of its board meeting.According to Spanish newspaper Faro de Vigo, the likely buyer is Oyster Ocean LLC, a Delaware-registered company established in January 2026 and reportedly part of a larger US industrial conglomerate. The transaction would reportedly be completed through the recently incorporated Spanish company Océano de Ostras SL, although the sale has not yet been finalised.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4624" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metalships & Docks S.A.

 Eleventh new-build 32m Mangusta 104 REV sold

Baltic Yachts are currently in the process of preparing for the build of three new carbon sailing yachts. The Finnish shipyard secured the construction of a 43-metre, 34-metre and 26-metre project, with construction on each project starting this year.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165174/image/large-2ae5c1eed23d4020654caa4f2769edcb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165174">

The Baltic 142 Custom is designed by Farr Yacht Design and styled by Lucio Micheletti. The project is commissioned by an experienced Baltic client in search of a modern long distance cruiser that will be able to deliver a comfortable ride at high speeds.

Another big project soon to kick off is the Baltic 112 sloop designed by Malcolm McKeon. The performance yacht will feature a lifting, telescopic keel, the latest version of Baltic Yachts’ Retractable Propulsion System developed with Hundersted, and a removable cockpit hardtop cover, amongst other things. Her interior is designed by Adam Lay Studio who also worked on the Baltic 107, Inukshuk.

A custom Baltic 85 performance cruising yacht will also start taking shape this year. Designed by Bill Dixon, the 26-metre project is developed to comfortably take on global long-distance cruises with a durable E-glass and carbon fibre construction. Mark Whiteley has been commissioned to design the yacht’s interior with Nigel Ingram of MCM appointed as owner’s representative during the construction period.

Baltic Yachts are making the final touches to their 54-metre Pink Gin VI project which is set for launch later this year. The yacht is believed to become the world’s largest carbon fibre sloop yacht following her launch, after the 50-metre Wally, Better Place.

Baltic Yachts to build new 43m Baltic 142 carbon sailing yacht

Earlier this week Baltic Yachts completed the first and crucial stage of the construction on its new 112 fast cruiser sloop in Jakobstad, Finland when the yacht’s full-carbon hull was released from its mould at the shipyard.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/27546/image/large-5fe56dbdd05df87c8a8f64f6af2a29fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/27546"> The hull will now be prepared for the joining of the superstructure as construction continues which is expected to come to an end in the spring of 2019. Project MM341, as she is known, is designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design. The interiors are the work of Adam Lay Studio which is said to match the yacht’s world-cruising abilities with a homely and functional style.Commissioned by an experienced client, the yacht will boast several innovative features when completed such as a telescopic lifting keel and Baltic’s own rotating Retractable Propulsion System.

Baltic Yachts’ 112 fast cruiser ready for next stage of construction

On track for delivery in 2019, Baltic Yachts is currently working its custom 142 sailing yacht project that is promising to push the boundaries in super sailing yacht construction and what is technically possible on these larger sailing vessels. Commissioned by an experienced yachtsman and repeat Baltic client, the vessel is equipped with several new technologies found in this special market segment.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/17022/image/large-5abf876b803e9b049a4b386ce2b0ad9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/17022">&nbsp; Described as ‘one of the most advanced high-performance super-sailing yachts ever built’ by the Finnish shipyard, one of the most characteristic features on board will no doubt be the Dynamic Stability System (DSS) that is installed just below the waterline aft of the amidships section. The 9-metre-long moving foil has proved highly effective in smaller vessels but Baltic Yachts will be the first superyacht builder to incorporate this technology into a vessel of this size.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/17024/image/large-e32a8ce4cec1b1eb01c5760d4bafb7af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/17024"> The purpose of the foil, developed by Infiniti Yachts, is to provide added stability at higher speeds when deployed. The vessel itself is designed by Farr Yacht Design in partnership with Gurit for comfortable long-distance cruising. When deployed to leeward, the foil will not only dampen pitch movements but also increase speed, much like the latest America’s Cup racing fleet.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/17023/image/large-186d3010675c00bb693d3f9d0e8bff69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/17023"> In addition to this ground-breaking implementation, the Baltic 142 will also be fitted with a new diesel-electric drive system that promises to be far more efficient, smaller in size and emitting less noise and vibrations than conventional motors. The general concept involves a permanent magnet motor connected to the propeller shaft. The high power output requires the system to be water cooled to operate efficiently.&nbsp;
