Baltic 51

The Baltic 51 - Gatsby, a classic long-distance cruiser in a class of its own, built by Baltic Yachts in Finland as the last of this type.

Constructed as a cruising yacht with high regatta potential, the Gatsby was developed in high quality and from the best high-tech materials of the time. The rod rigging and the hull made of balsa sandwich construction in combination with unidirectional rovings give the ship solid, rigidity coupled with a low weight of only approx. 16t for this class of ship.

The Gatsby won several prizes in regattas and became a legend thanks to the book "An Impossible Törn" by Wilfried Erdmann.

The Gatsby was able to demonstrate its capabilities on various Atlantic crossings and is still sailed by its owners today as an ocean-going cruise ship. The yacht grounded several times but all of which were professionally repaired, most recently in Neustadt 2021.

Lovingly and lavishly maintained, the Gatsby will spend the 2024 season until August in various ports on the Baltic Sea and is available for viewing.
