Baltic 42DP "AZUL"
PRICE REDUCED!! MOTIVATED SELLER!!
This Baltic 42DP, built in Finland and launched in 1981, is a renowned Finnish-built cruiser-racer from the late 1970s through to the early 1980s. The Baltic 42 (specifically the 42DP), designed by Doug Peterson, features high-quality construction, classic IOR styling, and excellent offshore performance. It balances competitive speed with comfortable, teak-finished accommodation, making it a desirable and roomy classic yacht.
Key Aspects of the Baltic 42 (DP/Models):
Design & Performance: Designed by Doug Peterson, these yachts were optimized for the IOR (International Offshore Rule) rating. They are known as stiff, well-balanced boats that handle heavy seas well.
Construction: Built in Finland with high standards, featuring strong hulls.
Interior & Layout: Features a very comfortable and roomy aft stateroom with almost a full island bed walkaround, traditional layout with the forward large V berth area and 4 sea bunks in the salon section. Warm and cosy mahogany interior with teak and holly flooring throughout. A well-appointed galley designed with sea miles in mind is U shaped and of good size.
Racing/Cruising Balance: Often considered a "performance cruiser," the 42 is capable of racing competitively, yet comfortable enough for extended cruising.
Layout: Two private cabins, single head layout plus 4 sea berth bunks.
The Baltic 42DP remains a strong contender for those seeking a classic, high-performance, well-built, and stylish cruiser. Inspections recommended, moored in Pittwater.
