The first of the Baltic 48s was delivered end of 1985 and launched early spring 1986.This is an 86 model.This was another project in cooperation with Douglas Peterson. DP did the naval architecture and Baltic Yachts was responsible for the aesthetics and layouts, both for deck and interior.
Perhaps one of the most iconic Baltic Yachts of all time. Unmistakably a Baltic and with a style and presence that has continued through today and the very latest carbon creations producing by this prestigious Finnish custom yacht builder.
Adhering to the philosophy of ‘built the best possible sailing yacht, combing safe, easy handling performance cruising with high performance racing’, the Doug Peterson designed Baltic 48DP is a light to medium displacement design that blends superior performance with comfortable cruising characteristics. Baltic's emphasis on leading edge technology combined with the finest world reknown Finnish craftsman resulted in the 48DP as the standard bearer for a new generation of elegant performance ocean passage makers.
ALDABRA was custom designed and originally built for an Italian owner keen to enjoy serious racing, but at the same time to be able to cruise in real comfort. She benefits from a custom forward cabin arrangement with twin bunk cabins plus a further forepeak cabin with pipecots.
Surveyors comments: One of the best designed Yachts I have surveyed.
