The 20 meters LOA Baltic 67 is the highly customizable sloop easy to handle by only two people. It is fast, good looking, and very easy to sail, as I already mentioned. I don’t know if I’m not gonna repeat myself again about this perfect attribute. High-quality materials, luxurious style, and exquisite engineering skills were used by the experienced Baltic Yachts builders. They used a sandwich construction with carbon Epoxy Sprint, which gave the Baltic 67 a very light structure allowing her to sail faster downwind.

It is perfect for competitive sailing, perfect for the ocean crossing, extremely comfortable, offering a genuine performance edge. Builders claim that it can participate in regattas without having to convert to race mode.
The main distinguishing attributes are powered trimming winches within the helmsman’s easy reach, a non-overlapping working jib, a well-balanced helm, good directional stability. As all the Baltic Yachts models, she has a bow thruster and twin steering wheels, but one finds more often these two qualities.
Carbon fiber and the very light foam assure the low weight, the best insulation, and the easiest maintenance. Baltic 67 benefits of a telescopic lifting keel which guarantees access to much shallower anchorages.

Conclusion
Many people consider this model much to dear for the luxury level it offers. It is indeed an expensive toy with which you can’t charge the $100k per week to offer blue cruises to celebrities. The pleasure you may derive from it is the knowledge that you could afford it. With this kind of money, you can buy a hotel in a prime location and make even more money. But this is not the point. Knowing that you’re buying the best in terms of design and build, created by the same team involved in yachts that costs tens of millions, must help to compensate.
