About the BALT 27

The Balt 27 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Wojciech Spisak and built by Balt Yaht, with production records indicating a start year of 2012. While the exact total hull count is not definitively established in the available data, the vessel is characterized by its 26.74 ft LOA and 5952.0 lb displacement.
- 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 rig and moderate sail area make it accessible for novice sailors or those prioritizing ease of handling over heavy offshore performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.83 and a relatively light displacement of 5952.0 lb, the Balt 27 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio suggest stability in moderate conditions but limited reserve buoyancy for heavy offshore seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 26 and the J/24, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the active coastal racing and cruising market. The Balt 27 offers a slightly heavier displacement than some pure racers, providing a more comfortable ride for casual cruising.
