About the BALTIC 33
Same hull design as C&C 33. Updated keel on later boats.
Designed by C&C Design Group and built by Baltic Yachts (FIN) between 1975 and 1980, the Baltic 33 is a rare vessel with only 42 hulls produced. This limited production run creates a distinct market profile for this heavy-displacement cruiser.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable ride, as indicated by its high comfort ratio of 24.23 and displacement of 10200.0 lb. It is well-suited for owners who prioritize sea-keeping ability over high-speed performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a displacement of 10200.0 lb, the Baltic 33 demonstrates strong offshore stability and safety margins suitable for bluewater cruising. Its fin keel and masthead sloop rig provide reliable performance in varied offshore conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other C&C designs from the late 1970s, such as the C&C 33/34, due to shared design DNA and similar heavy-displacement characteristics. It also compares to other Baltic models like the Baltic 31, sharing the same builder's construction methods and era-specific teak trim aesthetics.
