Designed by the renowned German duo Judel/Vrolijk and built by Finland's prestigious Baltic Yachts, this sophisticated 47-footer represents the pinnacle of 1990s performance cruising design. With only nine hulls constructed between 1994 and 2001, the Baltic 47 stands as an exclusive example of high-end European craftsmanship combined with cutting-edge naval architecture. The yacht's impressive sail area-to-displacement ratio of 22.24 reveals its performance-oriented DNA, while the deep fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration delivers exceptional upwind ability and responsive handling. At 24,692 pounds displacement with nearly half dedicated to ballast, this masthead sloop offers the stability needed for serious offshore passages while maintaining the acceleration that made Baltic Yachts famous among racing enthusiasts. The moderate comfort ratio of 26.02 suggests a design optimized more for speed than lounging, typical of Baltic's racing heritage, yet the thoughtful proportions and quality construction make extended cruising entirely feasible. The low capsize screening value of 1.98 indicates excellent seaworthiness for offshore work. Built during Baltic's golden era of performance cruisers, the 47 embodies the builder's philosophy of combining regatta-winning speed with blue-water capability.
