Description
Baltic 51 - Gatsby, a classic long-distance cruiser in a class of its own, built by Baltic Yachts in Finland as the last of its kind. Designed as a cruising yacht with high regatta potential, Gatsby was developed with high quality and the best high-tech materials of its time. The mast rigging and hull made of balsa sandwich construction combined with unidirectional rovings provide the boat with solid stiffness combined with a low weight of only about 16 tons for this class of vessel. Gatsby has won several awards in boat regattas and became a legend thanks to the book "An Impossible Törn" by Wilfried Erdmann. Gatsby has proven its excellent sailing abilities on various Atlantic crossings and is still sailed by its owners today as an ocean-going cruising yacht. The boat has had several groundings, all of which have been professionally repaired, most recently in Neustadt in 2021. Lovingly and lavishly maintained, Gatsby will spend the 2024 season until August in various ports around the Baltic Sea. Viewings take place where the boat is located at the respective time.
