sail in Bristol harbour

Club clothing now available

Baltic Wharf Sailing Club is a small, friendly, RYA-affiliated sailing club based right in the heart of Bristol

Most Saturdays you can find us racing in the harbour but we also sail for pleasure too, on weekends and during the week, all year round. 

New members are always welcome - whether you’re a seasoned sailor or are stepping into a boat for the first time, and we try to keep membership costs to a minimum so everyone can enjoy the sport.

For beginners we aim to provide a relaxed and supportive environment for anyone who’d like to learn the ropes  

We don't offer lessons (these can be obtained from  All Aboard ,  located right next to us) but we do offer  the opportunity to go out on the water with someone who knows what they’re doing and get a taste of the sport of dinghy sailing.  If you enjoy it then we'd love to see you again!

Those with experience are very welcome too.

We have club boats available (both single-handed and two-handed) and opportunities to sail with, or race against, other members in boats of various classes. Club boats can be sailed when the Powerboat is available to assist you if necessary.  

If you already own a boat then we may have some boat storage spaces available too, although there is usually a short waiting list for these and you will need to have been a member for three months before taking a space.

where we sail

The club is located on the south side of the Floating Harbour, near the Cottage Inn .   We usually race at the west end of the docks although sometimes we race all the way up to the Arnolfini .  When sailing for pleasure the whole of the harbour is generally available.

• Discover the wonders of sailing the Baltic Sea: a complete guide

The Baltic is a unique destination with countless sailing routes and stunning locations to explore, offering new experiences and endless possibilities. It stands out from more typical destinations like Croatia , offering its own advantages and specific considerations to keep in mind. Whether the Baltic is the right fit for you depends on a few factors. Our guide includes recommended routes, must-visit places, potential challenges to be aware of, as well as tips and rules for sailing in this region — everything you need to know when planning your trip to the Baltic Sea.

Geographical delimitation

Our guide won't be focussing on a single country, but rather an entire region. The Baltic Sea encompasses Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, covering a vast area. It is one of the largest brackish seas, and is often considered the edge or arm of the Atlantic. Since it is an inland sea, it has an average depth of only 55 metres, with the deepest point located in the Swedish part measuring 459 metres.

The Baltic Sea is inland.

Why sail the Baltic Sea?

Perhaps you've wondered: why sail in the Baltic when Croatia always has great weather? Here are some reasons why you should consider venturing further north.

Accessibility

The Baltic Sea area is strategically located as it provides easy accessibility to almost all parts of Europe by car, which can lead to significant cost savings on air travel.

Savings 

When it comes to expenses, it's worth noting the significant cost savings for meals and overnight stays in ports around the Baltic Sea. These costs are substantially lower compared to Croatia, making it a more affordable destination.

Fewer people 

If you prefer more freedom and fewer crowds while sailing, the Baltic Sea might be the perfect destination for you. Unlike the popular yachting spot of Croatia, the Baltic Sea remains relatively uncrowded, with fewer boats and less congestion even during high season. This means you can enjoy more flexibility and spontaneity, without having to plan your itinerary too far in advance or worry about making reservations at marinas well ahead of time.

Beautiful nature 

While many Mediterranean countries are known for their arid landscapes in the summer, the Baltic region boasts lush, evergreen nature. What's more, the area has remained largely untouched by human activity, creating a paradise for those who love unspoiled, natural landscapes.

Although we cannot guarantee favourable winds throughout your sailing trip, the Baltic Sea region benefits from frequent and consistent winds, providing a great sailing experience. So, you can rest assured that there will almost always be wind to power your vessel.

Weather and climate in the Baltic Sea

Shake off the stereotypical image of the Baltic as a harsh, cold and merely unwelcoming region, where the sea is wild, choppy and the water splashes high. Of course, the Baltic Sea is colder than the Mediterranean, but it's also a few latitudes further north. On the other hand, it is an area where there is very little chance of experiencing windlessness. The winds are favourable for sailors and those who enjoy trimming the sails will find a lot to like here. 

Sailors on discussion forums agree that there is often a so-called mythicization of the Baltic as a bad weather region. You will be surprised to know that in the summer season (July, August) temperatures here very often reach almost 30 degrees. In the high season, you can swim in the sea without any problems.

When to sail the Baltic?

During late May and early June, the Baltic Sea experiences the longest days, providing more time to enjoy the good weather. The summer season from June to August is also a great time to visit. However, for those seeking more adventurous and sporty experiences, the Baltic Sea can still be an attractive option from September onwards, although it may be less suitable for holidaymakers.

Paying and currency

Most sailors agree that they can make do with using euros and credit cards. Where they don't accept euros (machines in marinas) you can pay with a credit card. This means you don't necessarily need to exchange to Swedish, Danish or other kroner. 😊 But sometimes you may find that the shop will change the local currency into euros.

Who would we (not) recommend the Baltic to?

Sailing on the Baltic is suitable for all sailors who:

• are tempted to try something different from the traditional sailing destinations,
• enjoy racing the wind,
• don't enjoy the hot days in southern Europe when it can be impossible to sleep at night and you easily get sunburnt during the day,
• they're thinking of doing a more advanced skipper course.

On the other hand, we would not recommend sailing in the Baltic Sea:

• those who like warm waters (Caribbean, Greece, etc.), because the water in the Baltic is a bit colder,
• families with very young children, babies and toddlers,
• complete sailing beginners as their first sailing trip after the skipper's course, as it is a more demanding area to navigate and sail.

Considering another destination? Take a look at our tips:

Getting to the baltic region.

The Baltic region is easily accessible by various means of transportation, with many European destinations accessible through direct flights or transfers, such as Stockholm and Tallinn, respectively. You can also reach most places in the region by car overland, like Szczecin, or by ferry across the sea. In addition, the Baltic Sea countries have good rail services that can be combined with other modes of transport for convenient travel.

What makes the Baltic unique and what to look out for?

The Baltic is not the Mediterranean and has its own specific customs and yachting habits. What might surprise you, what differences to expect and what do we consider the main benefits?

Mooring bow to the pier 

This fact can be seen at a glance. In the Baltic, in the vast majority of cases, you dock at the pier with your bow. The stern therefore remains open towards the water. This may seem strange to some, but many Nordic boats do not have a gangway but only steps attached to the bow. However, this type of docking gives you more privacy but the downside is that it's not at all wheelchair accessible for people with less mobility.

Mooring between stakes 

For boaters who have never sailed up north, mooring the boat between wooden stakes will also be a novelty. If you know how to manoeuvre in harbours, you'll have nothing to worry about, it's just unusual.

Wooden stakes in a marina on the Baltic.

No mooring ropes

Mooring ropes are not a common practice in the Baltic. You will come across the aforementioned wooden stakes, mooring buoys or transverse finger piers. It is also common here to moor boats together in a "raft" style, i.e. sideways to each other. So don't be alarmed if a boat does this to you, although it is customary to ask the owner or skipper for permission beforehand.

Paying at a machine 

In the Baltic ports, you shouldn't expect to encounter marina staff looking to make a quick profit by overcharging you. Instead, mooring fees for the pier are often paid at a machine located on the pier itself.

Save money on marinas 

If you're used to pier rates approaching the price of a luxury hotel in the Adriatic, then forget about it in the Baltics. In the north, marina prices are lower. In Germany specifically, marina prices are similar to those in the Mediterranean, but lower in Poland or Estonia.

Less dense yachting infrastructure 

You have to plan your voyage here more carefully. You certainly won't find a fully equipped marina or buoy in every bay. So be prepared for longer crossings.

More complicated navigation at sea 

In addition to the fact that there are plenty of fairways, channels and therefore cardinal marks and other markings at sea, you may encounter unexpected shoals that are not always marked on charts and plotters. It is therefore important to be vigilant at all times.

The Germans and Swedes are meticulous in their marking.

What preparations to make before sailing on the baltic sea.

As the Baltic Sea presents different sailing conditions from those in Croatia, it's important to acquire relevant knowledge and skills before embarking on a sailing trip.

Colreg and brands

Before sailing in the Baltic Sea, it's important for the skipper to have a good understanding of the sea markings, such as cardinal and lateral marks, as well as the Colreg rules, including the rules of the fairway. It's crucial to study terms like "channel" and "divided navigation section" to be prepared for navigating in the Baltic Sea. With a lot of cargo ships and busy shipping lanes and canals, it's important to be aware of the heavy traffic in some areas. While it's important to follow Colreg rules, it's also important to use common sense and stay safe, as a big container ship won't always give way even if you have the right of way. In some situations, it may be better to avoid the ship altogether and sail around it in a big arc.

What can AIS do? 

AIS, or Automatic Identification System , can be a valuable tool when sailing in the Baltic Sea, particularly if you plan to sail after dark. It allows you to track the position and course of large ships in your vicinity, providing valuable information for safe navigation. To ensure that you are able to use this system on your boat, check with the charter company and ask them to demonstrate how to turn it on.

Watch a video 

To get a better idea of what to expect while sailing in the Baltic, check out YouTube videos showing the unique features of the region, such as docking at wooden stakes. These specialties are not commonly encountered by Mediterranean sailors and can provide valuable insight into the specific practices and customs of the Baltic.

Sailing related vocabulary

It's worth noting that there are many regional terms and expressions used in the Baltic that may be unfamiliar to Mediterranean sailors. For instance, "hafenmeister" means "harbourmaster". While you can learn many of these terms on the spot, we suggest reading some yachting forums and familiarizing yourself with the Baltic vocabulary before setting sail.

YACHTING.COM TIP: Although AIS is not mandatory on small boats, any aid that can help prevent a collision is welcome on board. Find out about it in our guide,  What is AIS and how does it work? .

It doesn't hurt to brush up on the basics of navigation in classic nautical charts before sailing the Baltic.

What equipment to bring to the Baltic?

When sailing in the Baltic Sea, it's important to be prepared for a range of weather conditions, including hot days and rain as well as sudden winds. Even if the harbor is calm, you may encounter strong winds of up to 30 knots once you're out at sea. To avoid any mishaps, it's essential to have the right equipment on board. Some of the items you shouldn't overlook include:

• Waterproof sailing jacket and trousers (can I rent if you don't want to buy your own)
• Thermal underwear
• Warm socks (we recommend merino wool)
• 2 hats in case you lose one (which happens unexpectedly often)
• Sailing gloves
• Neck warmer
• Good quality life jacket
• Sleeping bag
• Hand cream (the wind dries you out)

The captains are advised to carry a lifeline, which can be installed on the deck of the boat and used by the crew with a harness as they move around.

Must-see Baltic destinations

What places must not be missed in any case?

Copenhagen (Denmark) 

If you've never visited this Danish gem, it's a must on your voyage. Anchoring in the heart of the city is a treat, and a stroll around the harbour in the early evening or a photo with Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid is a must-do activity.

Bornholm Island (Denmark) 

If you're sailing in the Baltic, this island should be high on your list. It's a popular destination for yachters and offers beautiful sandy beaches, including Dueodde Beach, which is considered the sunniest spot in Denmark. The island is also great for cycling, kayaking, windsurfing, diving, and even rock climbing. Anchor your boat in Hammerhavn, Ronne, or Svaneke and explore all that the island has to offer.

The small town of Ronne on the island of Bornholm is picturesque.

The islets of Christiansø and Frederiksø (Denmark )

Connected by a swinging bridge, these small islands are mostly inhabited by local fishermen and artists. With their remote location, they offer a unique charm and a chance to experience a peaceful getaway.

Marstal (Denmark) 

If you're looking for a relaxing spot to park your boat, Marstal marina is a great option. The town boasts a beautiful maritime museum, and there's also a nearby beach where you can go for a swim in the sea. It's the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Marina Kåseberga (Sweden) 

Most sailors agree that Kåseberga marina is a particularly beautiful spot. Visitors should pay berthing fees at the local shop, and be careful of the shallow boat launching rails when entering. Not far from the marina is Ales Stenar, an old stone resembling the more famous Stonehenge. Here you can tap mystical energy.

Malmö (Sweden) 

Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden after Stockholm and Gothenburg, was highly industrialized until the end of the millennium. Today, while it still has many historical buildings, it is a city of contrasts, with modern skyscrapers popping up alongside traditional architecture. Walking in the city centre, with its little houses by the canal, can make you feel like you've entered another world.

Malmö is amazing.

Stralsund (Germany) 

This is a former Hanseatic city with a maritime museum, numerous historical buildings and restaurants. It is well worth a visit.

Marina Kołobrzeg (Poland) 

This modern marina offers a full range of yachting infrastructure, including berthing facilities and supplies, making it a convenient stopover for sailors.

Świnoujście (also Svinoústí or Ústí nad Svinou) 

Świnoujście is not only a strategic location for shipping, but also a spa town. In addition to being home to the tallest lighthouse in Poland, the town's charming atmosphere is sure to win you over.

YACHTING.COM TIP:  We have written a specific itinerary for you in our article —  Sailing the untamed Baltic: get inspired by our route .

Boats available on the Baltic

Opting for a smaller sailboat when renting on the Baltic is advisable as it allows for easier access to the marinas and navigating under bridges. The shallower draft is also beneficial due to the frequent shoals in the region. While the rental market offers a variety of sailboat options, Bavaria, Hanse, Dufour, and Sun Odyssey tend to dominate the charter industry in the Baltic Sea.

We recommend the Bavaria 32 Cruiser, Linnea or the larger Bavaria 40 Cruiser, Ester . Also very popular are the Dufour 375 Grand Large , Smilla or the Sun Odyssey 439, Bowmore .

What food to sample on the Baltic Sea?

To truly appreciate the beauty of the Baltic region, it is essential to indulge in its delectable cuisine. The local seafood is a must-try, boasting of its freshness and distinctive aroma. Smoked fish is a specialty that should not be missed, with a variety of fish, from small sardines to large ones, being prepared in the smoker. Another local delicacy to try is the pickled fish, which can be enjoyed in a fresh baguette or paired with calamari tripe soup. To complete the meal, wash it down with a refreshing Tuborg beer.

Additional activities to sailing in the Baltic

In addition to sailing, the Baltic offers a variety of water and land-based activities. For instance, Rügen boasts numerous kitesurfing spots, while the coast of Poland is renowned for its high-quality cycle paths. Sightseers can explore the many lighthouses dotting the coast, while fishing enthusiasts can try their luck in the Baltic's waters. While the fishing may not be as bountiful as in Norway, it's still possible to reel in some good catches. Be sure to check for necessary permits before casting your line. With plenty of things to see and do, there's no chance of getting bored.

You need a wetsuit for water sports, but fans of kitesurfing, windsurfing or kayaking will have fun here.

Baltic Yachts has been commissioned to build an ultra lightweight, 111ft superyacht described as ‘one of the most extreme projects Baltic has undertaken’.

Designed for fast coastal and offshore sailing, Baltic 111 Custom will begin construction in April taking full advantage of Baltic Yachts’ ability to build an advanced composite structure to the most exacting standards, creating a modern, stylish living platform within a high-performance design envelope.   The new yacht, described as a ‘ground-breaking design with spectacular technical solutions’ is an extremely weight sensitive project, a key reason why Baltic Yachts was selected. The company’s proven track record and expertise in calculating weight, monitoring it during build and achieving design targets, were decisive in the choice of builder, as were Baltic Yachts’ problem-solving abilities through innovation and attention to detail. Baltic Yachts CEO Anders Kurtén, said:

“This stunning new yacht will break new ground in leading edge technology, a challenge I am confident the entire Baltic Family is ready to meet. Winning this contract reflects our almost 50-year pledge to build Light, Stiff and Fast. We can’t wait to get started!” Baltic Yachts will be working with a highly skilled team assembled by designer Jarkko Jämsén, and including in-demand Spanish race boat naval architects Botin Partners, and with structural engineering provided by PURE Design and Engineering. Project Manager Sam Evans and project Co-ordinator Mattias Svenlin will lead Baltic’s internal team, while externally A2B Marine Projects, will be responsible for project management.   Interior and exterior design are by award-winning Finnish designer, Jarkko Jämsén. With light weight and performance the over-arching features of the project, the new yacht’s interior will be minimalist and modern in style.   To save weight, the yacht’s structure will be used as part of the interior and materials like bamboo and rattan will feature in the finish. A luxury interior with a fully-fitted galley and air conditioning throughout will add to the challenge of hitting weight targets with precision.   The Baltic 111 Custom is scheduled to launch in May 2023.

Baltic 67 review: Finnish superyacht yard goes back to its roots with no-compromise cruiser

• Toby Hodges
• March 28, 2019

When a renowned superyacht yard builds a 67-footer for short-handed cruising you can be sure the result will be something special

Were money no object and you wanted the ultimate yacht for long-term cruising, what would you choose? How large could you go without needing a paid crew? What do you really need length and space for and how important is displacement and potential speed to you?

These were the sort of questions crowding into my head on first viewing the sensational new Baltic 67 at the Cannes Yachting Festival . It is truly striking. The quality of the yacht is undeniably world class, but it’s the precision of design and engineering that soon absorbs you.

The owner of this first boat is a highly experienced cruising sailor, boat owner and navigator, so joining him for a 24-hour trial from Mallorca proved the ideal way to get under the gleaming composite skin of this athletic new model.

The concept is about combining the pleasure of pure sailing with ease of handling for long-distance cruising at high average speeds. It is the alternative to a full custom yacht – all the engineering is already calculated – but a great deal of flexibility has been worked into the design, with options including single or twin rudders, a fixed or telescopic keel, multiple cabin layouts, and a carbon or epoxy sandwich hull.

Wanting to return to its mid-size fast cruiser roots, Baltic Yachts teamed up with designers and fellow in-demand superyacht specialists Judel Vrolijk and Design Unlimited. The result is this exceedingly attractive, modern-looking sloop, with a powerful hull shape, a flush foredeck and a low-profile coachroof.

Powered sail handling systems means Manyeleti can be sailed by just two

The Baltic 67 is very much at the luxury and custom end of the production yacht scale, so our light wind trial of the boat focused more on the various choices and details aboard and how they might be relevant to sailors in general. Hull number one in particular had a lot of owner input.

Manyeleti , the first 67, belongs to Erik Lindgren. It is his fifth yacht from Baltic after a string of upgrades that started with a used 39 in 1989. “It’s very different to design and build your own boat – in my case using nearly 30 years of offshore sailing experience,” Lindgren explains.

Swede Lindgren travelled to the yard once a month and was in daily contact with the project manager, Kjell Vesto.

The Lindgrens’ plan is to head off on another world cruise in a couple of years time, when Erik’s teenage children have finished school. His shakedown sail involved a 5,000-mile trip from Finland to and around the Mediterranean.

“Not a single thing broke,” he reports, saluting Baltic’s build quality. “I could literally go to El Corte Inglés, stock up, fuel up and sail across the Atlantic.”

The Baltic 67 is as big as you can go without needing a pro crew, argues Erik Lindgren.  “I’ve spent a lot of time on World ARC boats… it’s the details that make living on board easier. This is a technical boat, but is less dependent on systems than our old Baltic 56. On the other hand it’s great to have aircon and a lifting keel.

“Half the time spent aboard will be for long distance stuff and holidays for the two of us, but a lot of the time will be spent with friends and family too.”

Privacy at this size is a big benefit. “I have no need to have a big boat for show,” says Lindgren, “but I wanted to have the things I need.”

The retractable arm for the anchor roller is an engineering masterpiece. It rises from the anchor locker at the touch of a button

The most important features he wanted, which help explain the jump in size from his previous 56, were a furling boom, a large, practical galley, four cabins and a tender garage large enough to house a forward-facing dinghy. While his yachts have grown and become more complex, Lindgren maintains that the methodical way Baltic builds boats results in a lot fewer problems.

A carbon furling boom is an eye-watering investment, but it does make the hoisting, reefing and lowering of sails a quick and largely hassle-free procedure. It can make the difference to whether you go sailing or not. Within minutes of leaving Palma’s breakwaters, we had main and jib unfurled and were matching the 8 knot wind speeds.

Manyeleti is hull number one in the Baltic 67 series

Easy performance

The Hall carbon boom uses an electric mandrel motor that is synchronised with the halyard to avoid too much sail spilling out during a hoist. The traveller is also electric, while the sheet car pullers, backstay, vang and furlers are hydraulically-operated. The result is the ease of push-button sailing typically used on modern performance superyachts.

We spent the first few hours reaching across Palma Bay. Despite having 24 hours aboard, the most breeze we found was 11 knots, which translated to 9.5 knots boatspeed – very respectable under white sails only (fully battened main and non-overlapping jib). The majority of the time was spent close-hauled, matching the single-figure wind, even exceeding it when it dropped below 6 knots.

Neat details: the forward end of the jib car puller, which is hydraulically powered

I found myself gravitating to the side deck to sit and steer, instinctively wanting to sail the Baltic 67 like a cruiser-racer. There are good views over the low coachroof and flush foredeck, but nothing except freeboard height to prevent a wet backside if the decks ship green water.

The helmsman can also sit forward of the wheel and reach the two winches. I like the way the primary is mounted inboard, though the positioning of the turning block for the jib sheet creates an obstacle on the side deck. Baltic reasons that it helps provide the option to use either winch for the sheet.

Speed for oceans

A flying sail would have helped to get the most out of the conditions, but Lindgren was still awaiting delivery of a Code 0 and A3, both on top-down furlers. However, even when the evening breeze died to around 4-5 knots, the Baltic 67 still provided an enjoyable experience on the helm. It’s rare that you can say such a thing while only using main and jib.

The 67 is designed for potent offwind performance, to limit engine use on transocean voyages. The aggressive sail area to displacement ratio of 30.9 is possibly taking things too far: the boat has so much power to weight that it will need to be treated as a real performance cruiser and tamed accordingly (i.e. reefed early). But what our trial sail did show was how well the Baltic 67 fulfils its brief of being able to offer enjoyable sailing in light wind.

“Bluewater boats don’t usually sail in 10-15 knots downwind – and we had a lot of that,” Lindgren points out, with reference to their previous Pacific crossing. “At 150º true, this boat is sailing at 8-9 knots, which is a big difference. As long as you are over 8 knots you are properly moving through the water,” he reasons. “Below that you’re in the swell and not in control.”

The twin pedestals are well designed to site plotter screens and remote controls for powered deck functions and sail handling

With the relatively low coachroof and cockpit backrests and aft positioning of the helms, protection from the elements may be a concern. When you look at Baltic’s large new designs in build, the 142 and 146, both have lengthy deckhouses that provide plenty of protection. But it chose the more in-vogue deck design for this semi-custom size, so its solutions for cockpit protection depend largely on a retractable sprayhood and bimini. These can remain in place while sailing and have already been tested in up to 40 knots.

The cockpit area on this first Baltic 67 has been adapted according to the owners’ wishes, including a narrower space between benches and no fixed table. The Lindgrens like to be able to brace feet between benches and to be able to sleep on the sole between them when offshore. The table and carbon legs stow beneath the central saloon soleboards.

We anchored at dusk at Es Trenc beach, 25 miles to the south-east of Palma, in water so clear we could pick the spot to drop the hook between weed patches. The ability to anchor in less than 4m amply demonstrated the appeal of a lifting keel. The keel system, from the highly reputable Italian brand APM, raises the T-keel hydraulically up to 2.5m.

The anchor arrangement is another fine piece of engineering: the arm is concealed in a shallow locker and rotates over and into place at the push of a button. The roller then extends out to keep it clear of the stem. The second Baltic 67 will have a fixed roller incorporated into the bowsprit.

The furling jib and powered padeye are recessed neatly

Open transom choice

The garage houses a 3.2m dinghy stowed longitudinally, with the engine mounted, between the dual rudders. Lindgren chose an AB tender with aluminium hull (53kg). It has a 20hp outboard so can plane with four adults yet is light enough to be dragged up the beach. He also opted for an open transom that, although an unconventional choice for ocean cruising, gives easy access to the swim platform and dinghy.

There is copious stowage space throughout the Baltic 67. In addition to the tall sail locker in the forepeak, the aft quarter lockers easily swallow electric bikes, inflatable paddleboards, snorkel gear, waterskis, spare fuel and a liferaft valise. Here there’s also access to the steering gear with independent autopilots used on both quadrants.

I particularly like the way multiple Antal T-lock fittings are flush-mounted along the toerail and in the cockpit. These enable quick and easy swivelling toggles to be inserted for loops and blocks, or for harness attachments.

Weight versus noise

The following morning was windless, leaving us with a three-hour motor back to Palma. The 150hp six-cylinder Steyr was specified for its low noise and emissions, and drives a four-blade Bruntons prop via a standard shaft.

E-glass was chosen over the standard carbon hull. Lindgren’s previous Baltic 56 was carbon and he wanted the better noise insulation over the weight difference (up to one tonne). The 67 is a very quiet, relaxing boat under motor, with no need to raise voices under power.

The spacious saloon has enough room for both dining and coffee tables

Down below the Baltic is an aircon-cooled haven of charm and exquisite quality. The more time I spent aboard and the more I learned of the systems and engineering, the more I began to appreciate what sets this boat apart.

The Design Unlimited styling is elegant and tasteful, with a mahogany finish on this first boat. With four different layout configurations plenty of scope is allowed for owner customisation. But behind the scenes is what you really pay for with the Baltic. It’s the telling result of what happens when a yard goes down in model size – this 67 is built like a superyacht.

For example, the engine room, used for hot items like engine, genset and water-heater, links through to a proper mechanical/utility room abaft the galley, where equipment is mounted on three walls for easy access (including chargers, inverters, pumps, watermaker and compressors).

“The thinking is that everything should be in reach and that you should be able to maintain it easily,” says Lindgren, pointing to the Spectra watermaker (his fourth) mounted on one bulkhead.

The boat’s systems are beautifully laid out for ease of inspection and maintenance

Stowage throughout has been brilliantly conceived. The 2,000lt of water and diesel tanks, plus the batteries, are all mounted centrally, under the saloon, leaving cavernous practical stowage under the berths. Custom-made fabric bags are used under the saloon seats to maximise useable volume.

Lifting the carbon sandwich soleboards at the base of the companionway reveals the sea chests and main manifolds for fuel and water, a prime example of the meticulous and practical systems layout. The 1,440Ah of lithium gel batteries further forward have a reservoir surrounding them, which can cool the cells if necessary without flooding them. And there are custom-made drip trays below any filters to prevent mess or corrosion.

The keel uses a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to activate the hydraulics, the cylinders for which can be replaced from within the boat. All other electrics are on manual relays.

Smart cabin choice

Manyeleti ’s owner’s cabin, with adjoining heads and shower in the forwardmost section, has an offset double berth positioned aft by the main bulkhead, a relatively central area of the boat to sleep. However, on passage, Lindgren says he sleeps on deck, or in the single cabin amidships. There are also leecloths on the saloon berths, a comfortable option if guests don’t want to share the twins.

The owner’s cabin is (purposefully) the only one aboard Manyeleti to feature a double bed

There is a good reason why there is only one double bed. Lindgren often sails with male friends, hence twin and single berths are a pragmatic choice. The use of a split heads and shower shared between the twin and single cabins is also sensible.

The central section of the interior is superb, with a traditional lower saloon, a navstation beside the companionway and a formidable U-shaped galley. It was important to the Lindgrens that the galley was large enough for two to work in yet still be seamanlike. The result is a very practical area with superb chilled, dried goods and crockery stowage. Ventilation ducts keep it nice and cool, though personally I’d want to have a hatch through to the cockpit.

Lindgren swears by the dishwasher, reasoning that it uses less water than washing up and helps keep the galley tidy. This and an induction cooker would be sensible options if you had sufficient power, and would avoid the need for gas.

The exemplary finish and smaller details help furnish the boat with a top quality feel. From the hinges, light switches and showerheads to the gas sprung hatches and overall joiner work, the Baltic 67 oozes quality.

The Baltic 67 has been designed with short-handed sailing in mind

Baltic 67: the verdict

Baltic has spent the last decade building some of the finest performance superyachts. You don’t receive commissions for yachts such as Hetairos , Pink Gin VI , or My Song without a top reputation, and to get that sort of quality on a 67-footer is truly special. Attention to detail and class of engineering and finish are hallmarks of this new model.

The Baltic 67 has the performance in light airs to match her on-trend looks and is a joy to helm. The choice of a comparatively unprotected cockpit and an open transom may not sit well with conventional bluewater sailors, but times are changing and this design is aimed as much at port-hopping from Portofino as at Pacific passagemaking . It is the solutions, stowage and systems employed throughout that help make it a valid option for distance cruising.

The Baltic 67 has the legs to outrun virtually any other cruising monohull and to keep sailing fast in light apparent winds. To know you’re buying the best in terms of design and composite build – and created by the same team involved in a yacht that costs tens of millions – must help compensate for the significant initial outlay. For the rest of us, we can but dream.

Midship, you'll discover a luxurious VIP double cabin with a queen-sized bed, a twin cabin, and a cozy bunk bed cabin.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:

Our time on Perseverance was amazing. The yacht sailed smoothly and we loved the eco-friendly touches like the electric system. Inside, it felt cozy with nice wood details. We explored beautiful spots, snorkeled, and enjoyed the many water activities available. The crew was great and made us feel right at home. Captain Pedro was exceptional and so was the rest of the crew actually. The food was delicious and very healthy. It was a fantastic experience and we can't wait to do it again.

British Kiel Yacht Club closed after 71 years

• Theo Stocker
• September 30, 2016

The British Kiel Yacht Club on Germany's Baltic coast, owned by the UK Ministry of Defence, has closed for the final time and the yachts brought back to Portsmouth

The British Kiel Yacht Club

The Ministry of Defence’s Sailing Training Centre at Kiel in northern German has now closed.  Following the reduction of British Forces in Germany, the club’s fleet of 10 Halberg Rassy 342s have been transferred from Kiel to the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC) in Gosport.

The yachts departed Kiel on 22 September 2016 and have been making their way down the North Sea over the last week. The majority of the fleet crossed the Channel on Friday 30 September. The yachts, which currently belong to the British Kiel Yacht Club Trust, aim to arrive at JSASTC by 1500 on Wednesday 5 October for a ceremony gifting the yachts to the Ministry of Defence.

The club has been running for 71 years. It was established at the end of the Second World War when Royal Engineers officer Colonel Fryer took a number of yachts as prizes of war at Kiel to form a yacht club. These yachts were later included in the reparations agreement and became known as the windfall yachts, with the club’s last windfall yacht Flamingo sold by the club last year. Other windfall yachts included well-known vessels such as Overlord and Sea Scamp, and formed the backbone of British Armed Forces offshore sailing in Germany for many years.

Boat of the Week: Meet ‘Perseverance,’ One of the Most Sustainable Sailing Superyachts on the Water

Standing out from the crowd with a metallic-bronze hull, the neo-classic fast cruising cutter was commissioned by an experienced owner who returned to Dykstra Naval Architects following the success of his previous yacht, a Dykstra 60. This time, he wanted to undertake longer passages in comfort but without compromising on speed.

The owner chartered a collection of sailing yachts to iron out his wish list, including a larger yacht with excellent sailing characteristics, ease of maintenance and power-saving systems. With 65 feet of extra length, Perseverance delivers. Plus it has a luxurious interior by deVosdeVries Design and a double cockpit deck layout. The yacht is also equipped with a high-aspect rudder and lifting keel to enhance sailing capabilities. “The goal for the owner was to have a classic sloop with clean deck equipment to make it easy to handle when sailing,” Tommy Johansson, project manager at Baltic Yachts , told Robb Report during a tour of the boat. “So, the yacht can set and furl its sails via push buttons for easy short-handed cruising.”

Perseverance bears many of the traditional hallmarks for which Dykstra is known, including a straight stem, distinctive deep bulwarks and truncated counter. Its deck house, skinned in teak, has individual rectangular windows that provide classic appeal. Like the timber caprail, the wood is treated with oil rather than varnish to reduce maintenance and steer away from a high-gloss finish. The center cockpit—one of the owner’s favorite places on board—is shaded by a mini hardtop that can be lowered to protect the seating and dining area against salt spray when not in use. Inside, light-gray oak, maple and leather-stitched details create a gentleman’s club-meets-industrial-chic ambience. Subtle LED lighting gives a modern touch. The main salon is light and airy, with high ceilings that provide decent headroom and knurled hardware in a dark-matte vintage patina.

Perseverance sleeps eight guests in four cabins, comprising a master suite, one VIP cabin and two twins. They are all fitted with sensors that monitor the interior temperature based on guest occupancy. When not in use, the temperature automatically adjusts to save on energy.

The yacht has cruised extensively since her delivery last year, already clocking 10,000 nautical miles at an average speed of 20 knots. Building a yacht with sustainable credentials was a key prerequisite for the owner. Perseverance ’s diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system can regenerate 20 to 25 kilowatts while under way at 12 to 14 knots, recharging the batteries in 4.5 hours, which then provide up to nine hours of silent running at anchor.

“It means the yacht can head out for a day’s sailing and return to the marina without using its engines,” says Johansson. “In fact, the owner has done that already, enjoying nine hours of silent cruising with only the batteries powering the hotel load.”

Perseverance is now in the Caribbean, with the owner making the most of his easy sailer by spending as much time at the wheel as possible.

HALF A CENTURY OF WORLD CLASS YACHT BUILDING

28 june 2023.

In just five decades Baltic Yachts has evolved from respected series production boat builder to the world’s best composite custom yacht manufacturer, the go-to yard for innovation, performance and a hand-crafted finish second to none.

Baltic Yachts has become firmly established as one of the best superyacht builders in the world, renowned for its comprehensive knowledge of advanced composite building materials and its skilled workers’ ability to innovate with the latest materials and technology.

The company has achieved this in just 50 years and celebrations are now underway to mark its foundation and recognise its success through the 566 boats it has built.

In the modern era, names like Visione, Nilaya, Hetairos, Pink Gin, Nikata, WinWin, Perseverance and Canova dominate the world’s regatta podiums and awards ceremonies and with the company’s latest launches, including the Baltic 110 Zemi and the ground-breaking, Baltic 111 Custom, it maintains its dominance at the leading edge of superyacht sailing technology.

The significance of Queen Anne

As Baltic Yachts prepares to celebrate its foundation in Bosund in 1973, with a party for 500 including our workers, local partners and international guests at its Jakobstad headquarters, it’s appropriate that the very first yacht it built, the C&C-designed Baltic 46 Diva, now Queen Anne, will also be in attendance along with her owner and the owners and friends of the recently launched Baltic 110 Zemi. Queen Anne underwent a refit in Bosund, the place of her birth, and with a new engine, freshly painted topsides, new hatches, a refurbished teak deck and updated instrumentation, is almost as good as new.

Baltic 46 Queen Anne (originally named Diva) – the first ever Baltic yacht

Her presence is doubly significant because she not only demonstrates the sustainability of yachts Baltic built 50 years ago, using what was then the latest boat building technology like balsa sandwich construction, unidirectional glass fibre and tank tested design, but she also illustrates the story of Baltic’s foundation.

In the beginning…

In 1973, superyachting, the genre with which we are familiar today, was non-existent, but series production boat building was really getting into its stride. One of its leading proponents, Nautor Swan, based in Jakobstad, was successfully building yachts for a growing global market and had established an enviable reputation.

Despite this, a small group of the company’s young boat builders had devised ways of building boats lighter and stiffer to improve performance. They tried to convince their managers at Nautor it was the way ahead, but their ideas fell on deaf ears.

Convinced their theories would work, five young men, Per-Göran ‘PG’ Johansson, Tor Hinders, Nils Luoma, Ingmar Sundelin and Jan-Erik Nyfelt struck out on their own, setting up Baltic Yachts in the small village of Bosund just north of Jakobstad.

Generations of skilled workers

Why Bosund? It is no coincidence that modern yacht building of the highest standard continues to thrive in the area of Finland known as Ostrobothnia. Generations of skilled wood-workers built warships and trading vessels as long ago as the 16 th Century, supporting Finland and Sweden’s vast fleets of ships which travelled the world. Seafaring was part of the local population’s DNA and plentiful local timber made the area a natural choice for ship building.

In many ways those traditions are still very much in evidence and in 1973 the most important resource for the fledgling Baltic Yachts was a skilled local workforce. The Baltic Yachts Family came into being and now aged 50 is very much alive and well!

It was a tough winter start, snow falling relentlessly as the new company built its first boatshed. But their first model, the ambitious 46-footer Diva already described, reflected everything Baltic’s founders stood for – she was comparatively light, stiff and fast and was selected for the Canadian Admiral’s Cup team in 1975.

Boom time at the Hamburg Boat Show

The Hamburg Boat Show was a key outlet for Baltic in the early days with 15 sales in 1975 followed by 26 the following year. Although series production was the business model which underpinned Baltic’s early success, there were already signs of customisation and in Thomas Friese’s C&C-designed Baltic 42 Tina I-Punkt it was all-embracing. She was an out and out racing yacht designed to the IOR (International Offshore Rule) to fit the so-called Two Ton rating band (I.O.R. Rating under 32ft) which was particularly popular and successful at the time in the USA and in Europe. This heavily customised yacht was a sign of things to come.

But even PG and his team couldn’t have foreseen the phenomenal success of the Baltic 39 which sold out at its premiere in Hamburg in 1977 and went on to become the company’s most successful design in terms of numbers, with 74 sold. Her designers, Cuthbertson and Cassian (C&C) and their chief naval architect, the late Rob Ball, had impressed PG Johansson because of their use of VPP (velocity prediction program) computer calculations and other advanced design techniques which mirrored PG’s own belief in improving yachts with modern methods.

Baltic 39 – our first major commercial success

The International Offshore Rule resulted in yachts which, like the Baltic 39, were particularly fast upwind, but like many racing yachts of this era, were fully fitted out and made excellent family cruising yachts too. Combined with the quality of build these were very effective selling points.

The Hollming era

In the late 1970s the new company was dealt a body blow by the global oil crisis and sought a new owner. The giant ship builder Hollming Oy believed in Baltic’s approach and provided the resources to support its rapid growth, fund the development of new models and build a sales organisation. Baltic Yachts would remain part of Hollming for 12 years and during this period was famously asked by its owner to assist in the development of a secret Russian submarine by providing input for its composite shell structure. Despite some political controversy over the project, it was a productive exercise, the vacuum-infused, epoxy resin technology directly benefitting the build of the Baltic 43 Bully.

Expansion, masts and Midnight Sun

A combination of factors in the late 70s and early 80s saw Baltic advance dramatically as carbon fibre was first used. The new Baltic 51 showcased many of the technical developments the company had evolved using computer aided design and engineering. And in Bosund a new building hall was opened, vastly increasing production capacity and enabling much larger yachts to be built.  All sorts of innovation was in evidence, including pneumatically-powered cradles which would allow yachts to be moved effortlessly across the super-smooth floors of the new facility.

Baltic’s policy of drilling down into design and developing its own specification and checks for construction was not only beneficial for the quality of its yachts, but also impressed clients who were increasingly keen to get involved to learn how their yachts were built. They were actively encouraged to visit the yard to see their yacht under construction, something some other builders discouraged.

Baltic’s approach to design enabled the company to start building its own masts around 1980, their black anodised finish becoming a hallmark. The ability to build on site and on time greatly assisted production.

By the 1980s there were clear signs that clients were looking at bigger and faster yachts with the associated need for complete customisation. The Baltic 80 Midnight Sun was the first fully composite racing yacht in the world, built as an IOR maxi for a Swedish owner who wanted to move on from successful Admiral’s Cup campaigns. Built using a super-light end grain balsa core in her hull she was quick upwind and enjoyed success on the maxi circuit before being converted into a luxury cruising yacht.

Lisbeth Staffans takes the helm

A need to return to their core business forced the Hollming Group to dispose of Baltic Yachts in 1990 which led to a management and employee buyout which saw 34 managers and workers including PG Johansson and Jan Erik Nyfelt immediately becoming owners of the business. The existing marketing manager Lisbeth Staffans (picture below) became managing director.

Her style of management, driven by straightforward communication, honesty and transparency across the business, plus strict financial controls, returned the yard to profitability. Lisbeth Staffans led the company for 18 years during which time Baltic Yachts went from strength to strength and took it to the cusp of the game changing era of modern superyachting.

One of the first genuine multi-role supersailing yachts which took part in the increasingly popular superyacht regattas springing up in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, was Anny, an 87ft all-carbon yacht from the board of judel/vrolijk. The German naval architect had already designed numerous Baltic production models prefacing a future in which they would become key, especially in larger superyachts.

With her lifting keel, extensive hydraulic systems and tender garage, Anny could be regularly seen at the front of superyacht racing fleets, particularly in Palma de Mallorca. She remained successful for many years.

Demand for the dual-role superyacht

The burgeoning superyacht regatta scene, many of the new ones trying to emulate the success of the St Barths Bucket in the Caribbean, offered a new dimension to ownership with many demanding a genuine dual-role yacht, one equally at home on the race course as crossing oceans and visiting the world’s remotest cruising grounds. This provided a great opportunity for builders of large sailing yachts, one which Baltic grasped with enthusiasm.

Anny was followed in the later 1990s by the Bill Dixon designed Vittfarne and the Baltic 70 Loftari, the former a classic looking yacht above the waterline with a high-performance underwater shape and the latter with an entirely pre-preg carbon and Nomex interior which demonstrated how large amounts of weight could be saved by building ultra-lightweight interiors.

Baltic 70 Loftfari was the first yacht with a fully fitted interior built entirely in prepreg carbon and Nomex

Baltic Yachts has built a number of motor yachts and while it cannot be regarded as a regular part of its portfolio a lot of information was gained about sound deadening which transferred to sailing yachts to great effect. The Raymond Hunt-designed M48 Far Niente and her slightly larger sistership Ben Nevis were powerful seagoing motor yachts delivered in the late 90s. Baltic later built the Mani Frers-designed M78 Bill and Me, a stylish offshore motor yacht.

Baltic at the leading edge of technology

By the turn of the century advances in technology were gaining even greater pace, exemplified by the Baltic 78 Super Baltic 5 which sported a canting rather than lifting keel, an additional benefit of which was virtually no loss of internal space, as the hydraulic canting mechanism was contained almost entirely beneath the cabin sole.

At the yard the company installed a 5m X 3m lamination press which meant they could custom build composite parts like bulkheads and interior components to its own specification ensuring that weight savings could be made without compromising strength or durability.

Iconic Visione

And then, in 2002, an iconic commission was secured to build the extraordinary and technically advanced Baltic 147 Visione. With naval architecture by Reichel Pugh and all the design and engineering capacity at Baltic Yachts coming to the fore, Visione became a marker by which many subsequent performance superyachts were judged. Even today, 22 years after her launch, she is still capable of winning.

To say Visione was ahead of her time is an understatement. She remains a development project to this day, and has been updated and used as a testbed for a multitude of new ideas and technological breakthroughs. In a way she fired the starting gun for the race to build new superyachts, a plethora of which followed from Baltic driven by technology which made them easier to sail, faster, more competitive and more fun!

Baltic 147 Visione (first picture) and Baltic 141 Canica (second picture)

The first genuine supercruiser was the 141ft Canica, a complex yacht using all the advanced composite building experience accumulated by Baltic’s design engineers resulting in a yacht displacing half that of a typical 140-footer – and there was no compromise on comfort. She was the first yacht with a Siemens PLC computer control system and to reduce vibration and noise levels her entire accommodation was set on shock absorbers so that, in effect, it ‘floated’ within the hull shell.

A waterside home in Jakobstad

Ten years into the new century Baltic Yachts realised its dream of its own waterside premises. The Jakobstad yard was a state-of-the-art building which enabled larger yachts to be built and reduced the complex and expensive trucking operation from Bosund 23km away. It also provided deep water access for yachts returning to Finland for a refit.

This development went hand in hand with the yard becoming the first of its type in the world to achieve ISO standards in quality, environment and occupational health and safety. Baltic Yachts was also awarded full DNV GL certification giving customers peace of mind over the performance of all aspects of the building operation.

2010 saw the launch of the highly successful Reichel/Pugh designed Baltic 112 Nilaya, which epitomised the superyacht racer/cruiser genre many owners sought. The yacht won almost every regatta she entered benefitting from grand prix pedigree design combined with Baltic’s exacting engineering and build standards designed to save weight. In short, Nilaya was an all-round winner.

The Professor provides stability and vision

Shortly into the new decade, new owners for the company were sought as the shareholding staff began to retire. In March 2013 Professor Hans Georg Näder, a keen yachtsman and a Baltic customer acquired an 80 per cent stake in the company through his family-owned prosthetics company Ottobock.

Professor Näder’s enthusiasm and vision was a shot in the arm for the company and he eventually increased his stake to become sole owner ensuring Baltic Yachts’ financial independence and solvency. He also appointed Henry Hawkins as Executive Vice President, a former yacht captain who brought a wealth of sailing knowledge and industry contacts to Baltic.

A presence in Palma – superyachting’s service capital

Not long afterwards, the first moves to establish a Service and Refit base in Palma de Mallorca got underway. Service and the need to look after everyone in what had now become a large Baltic Family became high on the company’s agenda. Today, the Palma operation is a vital part of Baltic Yachts providing refit, modifications and almost any service requirement in the heart of the western Mediterranean’s superyacht action.

For the next 12 years a succession of remarkable yachts was launched, many of which became award winners while others dominated the superyacht race courses of the world. Hetairos remains one of the most spectacular modern sailing yachts ever launched, her neo-classic styling hiding a phenomenal performance made possible by full carbon composite construction and a massive ketch rig with a mizzen sailplan almost as powerful as the main. An enormous lifting keel and a cassette style lifting rudder were examples of the advanced engineering required to make this yacht a success.

The Baltic 115 Nikata was a highly successful, stylish multi-role superyacht taking part in the RORC’s iconic Fastnet and Caribbean 600 races and the Middle Sea Race while providing a superb platform in cruising mode. At 130ft My Song was a study in exterior and interior design and as much at home on the race course as crossing oceans, while the Javier Jaudennes designed WinWin accumulated almost as much silverware as Nilaya.

A mix of Pink Gins

A string of Pink Gins built by Baltic saw the latest iteration, Pink Gin VI, launch in 2017. She is still the largest carbon fibre sloop in the world and notable for some advanced structural engineering which enables two large fold-down platforms to be set into her topsides, the forward one providing the owner’s cabin with a magnificent private balcony and swimming platform.

By 2018, technical advances in sailing were moving at such a pace that design features normally seen on much more performance-orientated yachts were now being considered at superyacht scale. Baltic Yachts’ ability to meet the challenges these design innovations set made it a natural choice for customers looking for something special.

First foil-assisted superyacht

In the Baltic 142 Canova, the world saw the first foil-assisted superyacht using a Dynamic Stability System (DSS) sliding foil set athwartships in a cassette beneath the owner’s cabin. When deployed to leeward the 9m long foil provided lift to reduce heel and also dampen pitching motion.

  The yacht was also one of the first to be fitted with an electric propulsion motor, large banks of lithium-ion batteries and the ability to charge them using her free-wheeling propeller while sailing. This reduced the use of internal combustion engines for propulsion and charging, cut emissions and took a large step towards improving the ‘green’ credentials of superyachts.

The move to power yachts with electric motors, big battery banks and the propeller-driven hydrogeneration developed by Baltic Yachts and its partners, has rapidly gained pace in recent years although in 2020 the company launched the Baltic 146 Path which opted for a conventional drive train. This yacht’s construction was complicated by the devastating COVID pandemic but she was launched to schedule and kept the company going over a difficult two-year period.

Apart from her sheer size – the third largest yacht by volume built by Baltic – Path had a remarkable combined deck saloon and covered cockpit the hardtop ‘bimni’ for which was also a landing for the largest array of solar panels ever seen on a sailing yacht.

Testbed for technology

Two smaller semi-production yachts were also gaining in popularity at this time. The Baltic 68 Café Racer was conceived as a testbed for sustainable build materials and rig technology designed to make a high-performance yacht easier to sail for a short-handed crew. Naturally grown flax instead of carbon was used as a reinforcement in 50per cent of the hull and deck mouldings, a swept spreader Marstrom rig and Doyle Sails’ Structured Luff technology were used to improve performance and simplify sailing, while cork decks and twin electric motors all combined to provide a glimpse of what, in the future, might be the norm.

Baltic 68 Café Racer Pink Gin Verde – hull number one in our latest semi-custom series

The third Baltic 67PC, Freedom, was launched last year, a different take on a series production hull designed to speed up build time and control costs. The 67 also provides an opportunity for highly efficient shorthanded, long-distance sailing and offers a multitude of interior layouts and finishes.

Modern classics are occasionally commissioned, their looks often belying the use of the very latest in superyachting technology. The Baltic 117 Perseverance is no exception, her elegant lines, straight stem, long counter and deep bulwarks giving the impression of a vessel from another era. But she has electric propulsion, hydro-generation, optimised pump technology and her superlight hull and easy to manage rig make her a very potent sailing yacht.

Luxury world class cruiser – Baltic 110 Zemi

Epitome of the modern superyacht

Just launched and available for viewing at Baltic Yachts’ Anniversary party is the stunning looking Baltic 110 Zemi, the second yacht built by the company to a Malcolm McKeon design. Her metallic bronze hull is complemented by a stunning teak deck and superstructure while her systems represent the very latest in superyacht design and engineering. She is the epitome of a fast, luxurious world class cruiser with serious racing potential.

Baltic 111 Custom – in a class of her own

It is perhaps entirely appropriate that Baltic Yachts’ 50 th Anniversary Party coincides with the near completion of the most extreme yacht the company has ever built.

Her, aesthetics, control systems, rig, generating and propulsion systems use the most advanced engineering, building and design techniques available in yachting.

Baltic Yachts was chosen to build this ultra-lightweight yacht because her owner believed it has the track record, design and engineering ability and, above all, highly skilled workforce to meet the immense challenges Baltic 111 Custom sets.

What a birthday present!

The Green Blue Announces Launch of 2024-25 University Sailing Sustainability Challenge with new sponsorship by Royal Thames Yacht Club

19 th September 2024 – The Green Blue is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2024-25 University Sailing Sustainability Challenge (USSC) , beginning on 1 st September 2024 and running until February 2025.

Since its inception in 2015, the USSC has encouraged University Sailing Clubs (USCs) across the UK to adopt more sustainable practices, and this year marks a significant milestone. The challenge welcomes the Royal Thames Yacht Club as its new sponsor, bringing fresh energy and support to the challenge.

In addition to this new partnership, the 2024-25 Challenge introduces a revamped judging criterion, allowing clubs to be even more creative and flexible in their approach to sustainability.

Supported by the British Universities Sailing Association (BUSA), the USSC was created to help University Sailing Clubs (USCs) across the UK become more sustainable. Clubs participate in the challenge by appointing a Sustainability Officer who in turn will commit to The Green Blue Boating Pledge . They then select areas of focus from eight categories, including reducing waste, protecting biodiversity, and combating climate change.

Over the course of the challenge, clubs, and their Sustainability Officers complete tasks within their four chosen categories with the aim of submitting evidence of their work to the USSC judging panel.

An exciting opportunity for clubs and students to really show what they can do; the panel awards all clubs who participate and complete their tasks with an official USSC certificate of achievement. The judging panel also score all submissions with the top four participants being selected to receive a prize at the USSC Awards Ceremony, held during the prestigious RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show in February 2025.

“The younger generation of sailors are the future of the sport and it’s amazing how many of them are passionate about sustainability. By getting involved in the USSC, it’s a great way for individuals and university clubs to not only earn recognition but also set an example for the wider boating community. The work they do can make a real difference in protecting the environment, both in the present and for years to come.” said Kate Fortnam, Campaign Manager at The Green Blue.  

Last year an impressive 14 universities successfully completed the Challenge, showcasing their dedication to fostering sustainable values within their clubs. This year, with the support of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, The Green Blue anticipate even greater participation and impact.

“At the Royal Thames Yacht Club, we are committed to the adoption of sustainable practices both within the Club and on the water, and as such are delighted to be supporting the excellent University Sailing Sustainability Challenge. Our young people are the future, and it is critical that future is sustainable. May we thank all participants in this most worthy of causes.” said Richard Powell, Vice Commodore at the Royal Thames Yacht Club.

“We, the university community, benefit hugely from being a part of then the green blue challenge. Through the challenge we push ourselves, our clubs, and the clubs we sail at, to be more sustainable and to look at the ways in which the sailing community can support the protection of our waterways and our planet” said Amelie Sadler, Vice Chair at BUSA – British Universities Sailing Association.
