Baltic 130 My Song Recognised for Innovation and Style
The Baltic 130 My Song has triumphed as a double winner in the ShowBoats Design Awards 2017 after being judged the Most Innovative Sailing Yacht and winning the Best Exterior Design and Styling award at a gala ceremony in Kitzbuhel, Austria.
With concept, design and styling the responsibility of Nauta Design and naval architecture by Reichel Pugh Yacht Design, the Baltic 130 My Song is the second multi prize-winning, all carbon fibre superyacht from Baltic Yachts and Nauta.
Baltic 130 My Song is a genuine multi-role sailing yacht with a potential planing speed of 30 knots and an average cruising speed of 16.5 knots. It was praised for a yacht bristling with innovative features:
- The latest performance enhancing Retractable Propulsion System (RPS) which rotates through 180 degrees to double as a stern thruster.
- An inter-changeable mainsail rigging system, by Southern Spars, with a pinhead sail for cruising and a square-top main for racing.
- A remote-control, under-deck, carbon fibre Code 0 drum stowage facility.
- State-of-the-art sound deadening.
- An array of weight saving ideas used in construction including pipe and cable runs located in the bulwarks to minimise deck thickness and cable trays moulded in lightweight carbon.
- Lifting keel with a ‘crush-zone’ bulb and a performance enhancing fully tapered fin.
The styling award recognises Nauta’s extensive conceptual, design and styling input on deck and, in turn, Baltic Yachts’s ability to bring design alive in this remarkable yacht. In conjunction with Reichel Pugh, Nauta and Baltic Yachts have skillfully disguised the racing hardware aboard the Baltic 130 My Song by creating hull and superstructure lines which belie her size.
