Performance Cruising

Baltic 130 Custom Superyacht Sea Trial

July 15, 2016 · Posted by kate

Members of the Reichel/Pugh design team: Jim Pugh, John Reichel, Adrian Sawyer and David Oliver attended the initial set of sea trials of the newly launched Baltic 130 Custom Superyacht, R/P Design # 249, off Jakobstad, Finland in the Gulf of Bothnia this month.

The 130 is prime example of what the state-of-the-art luxury performance superyacht looks like today with emphasis placed on performance while maintaining aesthetics and maximizing sumptuous interior accommodations. High-tech construction specifications ensure a superyacht capable of cruising around the world.

Naval architecture and engineering was completed in-house at Reichel/Pugh, and this project marks yet another successful collaboration between the R/P team and Milan-based designers Nauta Yachts, who were responsible for Exterior Styling and Interior Design. The yacht launched during the summer of 2016 and will head south to the Mediterranean where she will make her regatta debut at Les Voiles de St. Tropez in September.
