This Baltic 42 is a fantastic example of the design. She has been extensively refit and optimized for cruising and racing. in 2016 She had a complete Awlgrip paint job on her hull and decks and had brand new teak decks installed. Her standing rigging was replaced in 2017 and she has a custom shoal draft 6'2" keel making her a perfect choice for those wishing to have a classic performance yacht that is unhindered by a deep draft. The vessel was repowered in 2011 and was upgraded with a sail drive rather than a shaft or hydraulic system which keeps the underbody slippery while offering great control under power. If you are looking for a restored classic to cruise or race this Baltic 42 should be at the top of your list.

  • Teak decks and Awlgrip 2016
  • Repower with Saildrive 2011
  • New Rod Rigging 2017

Baltic's design brief

This design was based on the 1975 Canada´s Cup challenger ‘Marauder’ and her successful sister ship Baltic Custom 42 ‘Tina I-Punkt’. The hull design was optimized to take maximum advantage of the IOR-Measurement-Rule which was then current. The size and performance was optimized to fit the 2-Ton class with an I.O.R. rating of 32 feet. The fundamental concept was of a medium/light displacement performance hull with a high aspect ratio keel and rudder, designed for max lift. The concept was a no-compromise ocean racing sloop, and her deck layout and equipment was also carefully studied to achieve this. The large cockpit and clear deck provided efficiency during racing activities, but also living space and comfort for cruising. The interior was equipped with a separate owner’s cabin aft with twin berths, while forward was the navigation and galley area. The salon provided comfortable sitting or sleeping accommodation. The forepeak was open to enable easy and effective sail storage and handling, but had the option of a more comprehensive interior for clients that were mainly cruising. The Baltic 42 was successfully raced by clients in Europe as well as in North America.
