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>.

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.
