New Listing – 2004 Baltic Yachts 50

Design and engineering perfection in carbon. Arguably, the finest Baltic 50 afloat and a tribute to the collaboration of Bill Tripp and Baltic Yachts combined with over one million euros in recent refit and updates. ELEVEN is a very very special yacht.

FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

ELEVEN, originally launched as SCARLET, is hull no.9 of the semi-custom Bill Tripp designed Baltic 50 performance cruiser range launched in 2004. One of the few with a single-cockpit arrangement, and now with all control lines led aft to her cockpit, she holds her own against the very latest designs in the market. Also unusually, ELEVEN is constructed in carbon composite with Corecell sandwich and epoxy resins, creating an extremely light and stiff hull structure.

Delivered in 2004 to her first owner who lightly used as a daysailer without literally never sleep on board or having spent a night out of the marina (the anchor and windlass have been added only from the second and actual owner), ELEVEN is now very great condition used for family summer sailing.

Purchased by her current (second) owner in 2018, ELEVEN was then fully refitting in order to brings her back to super modern standard with an investment of more than one million Euros and taking three years to complete. ELEVEN is now offered for sale as her owner wishes to go larger.

DESIGNER’S COMMENTS:

Sailors will recognize in the Baltic 50 the continuation of the Baltic tradition, the combination of quality, style and commitment to performance. The profile in a glance has the dramatic Baltic heritage yet reveals something of an advanced hull form.

Baltic yachts have always distinguished themselves as being not only very high quality yachts, but as high performance, racing and cruising yachts. By utilizing top materials, construction techniques, and equipment it is now possible to design a strong, light, sophisticated design with a nicely appointed interior that has all of the polished sailing characteristics of a top grand prix boat.

Modern sailboat design is in continual development, and the sport has witnessed tremendous improvements in speed and sea keeping. The performance is by virtue of subtle hull shaping and a balance of power. The band of their performance is widened. A modern hull is far different than anything that has gone before, and the fine bows and broad transoms do not dive by the bow, nor get excessive helm as we have learned the best shapes for speed and balance. The really modern boats are superb boats to race and sail, and can take any weather, as the improvements in the boats have directed more toward performance than rating. The boats are no longer digging holes in the water as they heel or increase speed and then falling into them. Our new boats sail on the water not through it.

The carbon rig and bulb keel combine for a very low centre of gravity, giving the satisfaction of sail carrying capacity on a light boat. The light boat eases the forces needed to go forward. The boat slips along rather than dragging the ocean. The large sail plan makes the boat very easily driven in light air, as a large amount of racing is in these conditions.

For the cruiser/racer the rig is a masthead rig with swept spreaders. The advantage of this is that the boat handing is very easy. The rig is high performance yet fool proof without the complication of runners.
