About the BALT 26
Optional shallow or fin keel. Optional steering wheel. SA = Main + Jib.
The Balt 26 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Wojciech Spisak and built by Balt Yacht, with production records indicating a start year of 2012. As a relatively small vessel with a displacement of 5071.0 lb and a beam of 8.3 ft, it represents a niche entry in the modern Baltic market, though specific total hull counts remain unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight package that is easy to trailer and single-hand. Its fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16.04 suggest it is optimized for responsive performance in protected waters rather than heavy-weather endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a relatively light displacement of 5071.0 lb, the Balt 26 is not ideally suited for extended bluewater passages, favoring instead coastal and inshore cruising where its shallow draft options and manageable size are advantageous.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Baltic designs like the Balt 23 or Balt 30, as well as contemporary trailerable cruisers such as the Beneteau First 23.5 or Hunter 25. These vessels are comparable due to their similar LOA of approximately 25-26 ft, fractional rigs, and focus on ease of handling for small crews.
