About the BALTIC 47
Winged Keel and Keel/Cbrd. models also available.
Designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Baltic Yachts (FIN) between 1994 and 2001, the Baltic 47 is a rare production yacht with only 9 hulls built. This limited production run creates a unique market position, requiring buyers to rely heavily on owner reports and specific maintenance histories rather than broad fleet statistics.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-range offshore passages who prioritize a comfortable, well-equipped interior over high-performance racing. Its moderate displacement and beam make it ideal for those seeking a stable, liveaboard-friendly platform rather than a high-speed racer.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 24692.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.98, the Baltic 47 offers good stability for offshore passages, though its fin keel and specific hull form suggest it is best suited for protected waters or moderate ocean crossings rather than extreme heavy-weather voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 43 and the Nauticat 43, as they share similar displacement, beam, and a focus on robust construction and comfort. These boats appeal to the same demographic seeking a sturdy, well-finished cruising sloop from the mid-1990s era.
