– Sept 8th 2023
Baltic Yachts has officially launched the ultra-light, foil-assisted 111ft Raven superyacht.
The ground-breaking yacht is the first superyacht in the world to use foiling technology in this way. Raven has undergone one of the most intense weight-saving exercises her builder has ever completed, yet is fitted out with a stunning interior, which exposes the structure of the yacht to create a unique aesthetic.
Early sailing trials for the foil-assisted Baltic 111 Raven have been described as ‘very successful’ as the super-lightweight sloop showed impressive reliability and reached sustained speeds in the high 20s during 10 consecutive days of sailing off Baltic Yachts’ head-quarters in Jakobstad, Finland
The overall concept, including the interior and exterior styling is by Finn Jarkko Jämsén, whose renowned, disruptive thinking in superyacht design chimed with the owner’s desire for a stylish, quick, day-sailer superyacht with the ability to undertake high speed offshore passages. Naval architecture is by Botin Partners and structural engineering by PURE Design in New Zealand. Leading the Raven project is the highly experienced Garth Brewer of A2B Marine Projects.
