FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
Launched in 2011, the custom Judel Vrolijk designed Baltic Yachts 62 EASY BLUE is the epitome of elegance and effortless performance. Boasting an extremely high build specification, EASY BLUE is configured for short-handed fast cruising thanks to her powerful, yet easily managed push-button rig, controllable from the helm. Her large single cockpit is perfect for entertaining, and this is matched below decks with a spacious and bright interior layout with owner’s cabin forward and guest cabins aft. A further crew cabin can be found in the forepeak. Cruising versatility is afforded through fitment of a hydraulic telescopic keel and a large tender garage aft.

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
This 62-footer was conceived as a fast, easy to sail, high performance cruising yacht using Baltic’s advanced carbon composite building techniques to full effect.
With an interior finished in teak and white painted panels and deck-heads she epitomises the Baltic style. As with all our yachts, particular attention was paid to keeping noise levels down with soft mounted machinery and accommodation modules.
Her stainless-steel keel fin and lead bulb benefit from a telescopic lifting system, which has the advantage of not intruding into the accommodation space.
The composite hull is built using a Corecell foam and vacuum lamination with a 16-hour post curing process producing a very light, stiff structure.
The deck geometry has been designed for easy sail handling with all control lines led aft
