Baltic Philosophy

Since the start of Baltic Yachts in 1973, our main goal has been to build the best possible sailing yachts combining safe, easy handling performance cruising as well as high performance racing.
In order to achieve the performance and handling characteristic goals we decided to use designs that were light to medium displacement types. A heavy type design would not have had the performance we were aiming for; it would also have put us in direct competition with the strongest brands on the market at that time. On the other hand a super light displacement design would not have had the capability to carry the interior and equipment needed in order to achieve comfortable cruising characteristics.
A light to medium displacement philosophy, with comfortable cruising interior, puts pressure on the builder to reduce construction weight in order to reach the weight savings required without sacrificing strength and safety. Hence it becomes essential to use high tech building methods and material. A very positive spin-off from this is that high tech materials/construction give a higher general quality and much better durability.
