Finnish builder Baltic Yachts
has signed a contract with a well-known ocean- sailing yachtsman to build the
company’s largest yacht to date. To assure a modern-classic shape and maximum
performance, the ketch has been co-designed by two top naval architecture
offices: Gerard Dijkstra & Partners of Amsterdam and Reichel Pugh Yacht
Design of San Diego. Additional hydrodynamic analysis has been performed by
Frank DeBord of Annapolis, Maryland. SP/Gurit will carry out the yacht’s
structural engineering and project management will be handled by Jens Cornelsen
of Glückstadt, Germany.
The client was inspired by Dijkstra’s 105-foot sloop
Christoffel’s
Lighthouse. The new design, modeled after
nineteenth century American pilot cutters and America’s Cup contenders, features
a plumb bow, a long bowsprit, a traditional sheer line with high bulwarks and a
beautifully sculpted stern.
