First Baltic 68 Café Racer launched last week

The first Baltic 68 Café Racer was launched last week, showcasing its ease of use, style and sustainability. The low carbon footprint yacht will undertake trails off Jakobstad before heading for the Mediterranean to take part in September’s Les Voiles de St Tropez.

Designed with a flax-reinforced hull, eco-electric propulsion and easy to handle sail plan, the Café Racer provides clients with pleasurable performance sailing through the latest rig and sail technology. The interior styling options offer a contemporary design that combine a range of eco-materials such as flax, linen and leather.

Henry Hawkins, Baltic Yachts executive vice president said, “This is a yacht which tackles today’s challenges of sustainability and low carbon targets head on – she’s fun and easy to handle, offering a genuinely rewarding sailing experience. Baltic’s engineers and partners have incorporated a brilliant, naturally grown yacht building material in sustainable flax which perfectly complements the advanced composites expertise for which the company is renowned.”

Following trials in Finland, the Café Racer will head for the Mediterranean to attend events in Sardinia and the Cote d’Azur. Details of the plans to be at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show will be published at a later date when COVID-19 restrictions are eased.
