BALTIC YACHTS Baltic 35 for sale (1984) in Lymington, United Kingdom

Baltic 35, KARELIA, is a truly special little yacht, originally delivered new by Berthon. She offers a unique opportunity to own a yacht that is just a little bit more individual with her unmistakable Baltic lines. KARELIA underwent an extensive restoration in 2011 by Hamble Yacht Services and has since been meticulously maintained by her owner and the Berthon Boat Company as a berth holder at our Lymington marina. With thoughtful design above and below deck, she’s ideal for leisurely cruises with family and friends yet performs just as well in the occasional race. Well-cared for and consistently upgraded, she’s now available for sale to make way for a larger replacement.

Construction

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.

Hull Construction:

• Balsa core fibreglass using fibreglass mat, unidirectional roving, and mat roving combination to develop an extremely rigid, yet light and well insulated structure.
• The sandwich construction in combination with the usage of high-grade unidirectional roving gives the following advantages in comparison with conventional GRP layup: 40 per cent lighter; 150 per cent higher panel stiffness; increase in strength; insulation.
• High stress areas are specially strengthened with unidirectional roving orientated in the direction of the stress. Transverse floors and longitudinal stringers are made up of unidirectional roving and fabmat around a low-density core.
• There are limber holes in floors to allow drainage to sump.
• Internal bulkheads and Intercostals are marine grade waterproof plywood (teak faced on visible surfaces).
• The engine-beds are incorporated in hull.
• Special care is taken to ensure a rigid foundation and correct bonding.
• The mast-step is fabricated from aluminium bolted to reinforced floors and stringers.
• High quality abrasion resistant colour pigments are used in gelcoat.
• White gelcoat hull and superstructure finish with blue waterline and cavita lines.
• Hull epoxy treated.
• Copper coat on undersides renewed (2020 & 2025).

Deck & Superstructure Construction:

• Hand laid-up moulded fibreglass with balsa core for stiffening and insulation, extra reinforcement incorporated in areas of winches and fittings.
• The deck has a high strength/weight ratio and is bonded to the hull with layers of roving and through bolted.
• The deck is over laid with hand-picked teak planking completely renewed in 2011.
• The chainplates are stainless steel through bolted to longitudinal bulkheads which are securely bonded to the hull and deck.
• Chain plates are provided with backing plates to spread loads adequately and are grounded to a keel bolt.
• A full length aluminium toerail provides structural rigidity for the hull/deck joint and a multi-purpose sheet take-off point.
• The stanchion bases are attached to the toe rail, which is anodized for protection.

Keel & Rudder:

• An external fin keel, cast to high accuracy in lead with added antimony, is through bolted to the hull by keel bolts cast in stainless steel.
• The cantilevered, balanced spade rudder is moulded from fibreglass and fitted with a high strength aluminium rudder stock.
• The rudder was replaced in 1994 with a strengthened design supplied by Baltic Yachts.
• The rudder stock passes through bearings and a stuffing box strongly bonded to the hull and deck.
