Construction begins on Baltic Yachts' new 37m high-performance blue water cruising sloop

24 June 2024 • Written by Holly Margerrison

Baltic Yachts has announced a new contract for a 37-metre high-performance blue water cruising sloop. Construction has started in its Jakobstad facility with delivery in autumn 2026.

Malcolm McKeon is responsible for naval architecture and exterior styling, while interiors are the work of Adam Lay Studio. The design brief is for a blue water performance cruiser for extensive family cruising with emphasis on safe and reliable systems using well-proven technologies. 

"This design features an all-carbon structure, a telescopic keel, a fixed bimini and a generous sail plan, ensuring excellent all-round sailing performance," said Malcolm McKeon. "The contemporary exterior styling maximises the use of glass in the superstructure, creating a light and open interior with 360-degree views from the all-glass deckhouse."

Adam Lay of the eponymous interiors studio said: "The interior will be a development of our studio’s modern, nature-inspired, textural approach with clean lines and muted wood tones. Contrasting textural fabrics will form part of the carefully balanced aesthetic with practicality and longevity kept in mind for relaxed family cruising."

Henry Hawkins, executive VP at Baltic Yachts, added: "This commission plays to Baltic Yachts’ key strengths. We have delivered 12 yachts over 100ft [30 metres] LOA in the last 10 years, all within their contractual weight targets, within their original budget and on average within a week of their contractual delivery dates. A track record of which we are very proud."

The shipyard also recently completed an eight-month "transformational refit" of the 53.9-metre Baltic 175 Ravenger, the world’s largest carbon composite sloop.
