Baltic 43 Tall Rig
Description
The Baltic 43 is a high-performance cruiser-racer sailboat designed by the renowned Judel/Vrolijk naval architecture team and built by Baltic Yachts in Hollola, Finland, from 1983 to 1990. Approximately 50–60 hulls were produced, making it a limited-production model celebrated for blending racing prowess with luxurious cruising capabilities. Drawing from Judel/Vrolijk's successful Admiral's Cup racers like Container, it incorporates lightweight epoxy composite construction for stiffness and speed, while Baltic's in-house styling provided customizable interiors, including the signature double center-berth owner's cabin. The masthead sloop rig (with a tall rig option) and fin keel make it versatile for offshore racing, coastal cruising, or long-distance passages, suitable for short-handed or family crews (4–6 people).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
