About the Baltic 73 Sailboat

Designed by the renowned German naval architecture firm Judel/Vrolijk and built by Finland's prestigious Baltic Yachts, this impressive 73-footer represents the pinnacle of performance cruising yacht design from the late 1990s. First launched in 1999, the Baltic 73 showcases the builder's legendary expertise in advanced composite construction, delivering a vessel that perfectly balances luxury cruising comfort with serious offshore sailing capability. The yacht's fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, combined with a masthead sloop rig carrying 2,484 square feet of sail area, provides excellent performance across a wide range of conditions. With a theoretical hull speed of 10.44 knots and a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 22.03, she offers spirited sailing performance while maintaining the stability and comfort expected from a yacht of this caliber. Her moderate comfort ratio of 39.32 and favorable capsize screening value of 1.7 indicate a design optimized for extended offshore passages and serious blue-water cruising. The spacious 18-foot beam provides generous interior volume, while the substantial displacement of 77,160 pounds with 29,762 pounds of ballast ensures impressive stability and seakindly motion in challenging conditions.
