On offer is the iconic Baltic 51 - Gatsby, a remarkable classic long-distance cruiser, lovingly built by Baltic Yachts in Finland in 1988. This fantastic vessel stands out with its balsa sandwich construction and unidirectional roving, giving it superior rigidity and a low weight of approximately 16 tonnes. This powerful yacht, which won several prizes at prestigious regattas and was immortalised in Wilfried Erdmann's book 'An Impossible Törn', is just as ready for an adventurous Atlantic crossing as it is for cruising the open ocean with grace and grandeur. Despite few manageable groundings, each occurrence has been professionally addressed; with the most recent repair undertaken in Neustadt in 2021. Well-loved and meticulously cared-for, the Gatsby will be available for viewing in various ports on the Baltic Sea until August 2024.
The Baltic 51 - Gatsby, a classic long-distance cruiser in a class of its own, built by Baltic Yachts in Finland as the last of this type.
Constructed as a cruising yacht with high regatta potential, the Gatsby was developed in high quality and from the best high-tech materials of the time. The rod rigging and the hull made of balsa sandwich construction in combination with unidirectional rovings give the ship solid, rigidity coupled with a low weight of only approx. 16t for this class of ship.
The Gatsby won several prizes in regattas and became a legend thanks to the book "An Impossible Törn" by Wilfried Erdmann.
The Gatsby was able to demonstrate its capabilities on various Atlantic crossings and is still sailed by its owners today as an ocean-going cruise ship. The yacht grounded several times but all of which were professionally repaired, most recently in Neustadt 2021.
Lovingly and lavishly maintained, the Gatsby will spend the 2024 season until August in various ports on the Baltic Sea and is available for viewing.
