Built by Finland's prestigious Baltic Yachts from 1977 to 1983, this C&C Design creation represents a compelling blend of performance cruising and moderate displacement design philosophy. With only 74 hulls produced during its six-year production run, the Baltic 39 stands as a relatively rare find in today's market. The design showcases classic late-1970s thinking with its fin keel and spade rudder configuration, delivering responsive handling and solid windward performance. At 18,000 pounds displacement with 7,800 pounds of ballast, she strikes an appealing balance between stability and speed, while the masthead sloop rig provides versatile sailing characteristics across various conditions. Her moderate comfort ratio of 27.71 suggests reasonable motion at sea, making her suitable for extended coastal cruising and capable offshore passages. The capsize screening value of 1.92 indicates good stability for serious blue water work, while the SA/displacement ratio of 17.12 promises respectable performance in light to moderate conditions. Baltic's renowned Finnish craftsmanship and attention to detail, combined with C&C's proven design expertise, created a yacht that appeals to sailors seeking both performance and comfort. The modest 23-horsepower auxiliary provides reliable motoring capability while maintaining the sailing-first philosophy these boats were designed around.
