Judel/Vrolijk & Co. drew a modern crack with a negative stem and a high width of 6.27 metres, which extends from the deck to the stern and decreases sharply towards the waterline. This reduces the wetted surface area. Twin rudders, a conventionally driven folding propeller and a lift keel that extends from 3.50 metres to 5.30 metres deep serve as appendages. A Williams Sportjet 395 is parked in the stern garage, while the self-tacking jib and furling boom ensure easy handling in cruising mode. In addition, a fixed sprayhood (dodger) folds out of the flounder superstructure and a bimini protects the cockpit.
Baltics Deputy Managing Director Henry Hawkins says of the new project:
"She is a particularly sleek and sporty looking yacht and could be considered a new generation 80 in a size range that has been attracting attention from clients recently."
The 23.99 metre long Baltic 80 is being built from pre-preg carbon on a foam core. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2023, with the launch scheduled for summer 2024. Baltic is currently working on the second 68 café racer after "Pink Gin Verde" with "Open Season" in Jakobstad, Finland. The one-offs Baltic 110 (McKeon / Andreas Martin-Löf) and Baltic 111 (Botin Partners / Jarkko Jämsén) are also in the outfitting halls. The latter is rumoured to be a radical design that is due to take to the water in 2023.
