Baltic 152 Pink Gin
– A Stunning Superyacht
The main philosophy behind the Baltic 152 Pink Gin was to create a yacht
with conservative long overhangs and with a styling that could be
classified as a traditional clean look. Simplicity dominated
throughout the entire design, with a special emphasis
focusing on sound insulation and smooth
operations.
O
ne of the key factors that influence a Super
Yacht’s performance and handling character-
istics is the displacement. The displacement of this
yacht is a fraction of what is “normal” for this size
of yacht. The only way to achieve this was to use
high technology and the best materials available,
plus also to develop a keel design with an ample sailing draft but with the possibility to reduce the keel
draft to allow access into harbours. This styling was
combined with the highest technology and carried
out by Baltic Yachts, Naval Architect judel/vrolijk &
co and Interior Designer Design Unlimited.
Baltic Yachts’ new purpose-built production
building is 80 metre long enabling the yard to take
on more ambitious boat-building projects than ever before. Already the Baltic 197, the so-called Panamax project, is based in the new building.
A new project which is also likely to benefit
from the new facility is a Baltic 170 Custom, a highperformance cruising boat incorporating a high degree technology, hidden within the lines of a traditional, class design. While Baltic Yachts has never
shied away from accepting large-scale projects, the
company looks forward that the new facility will attract more customers looking for a boatbuilder of
Baltic Yachts‘ pedigree. ■
