It’s the Baltic 108 Winwin the dream boat of 2015

It is Winwin, the Baltic 108 signed by the young Javier Jaudenes, the overall winner among sailboats in the 2015 World Superyacht Awards (and in the category of boats between 30 and 44.99 m). The boat seeks to satisfy two widespread needs of today’s top-level boat owners: on the one hand, the desire to cruise with all the comforts and be able to take the boat even with a small crew, and on the other hand, the desire for fierce competitions with a full crew that rules the Maxi Yachts field.

33 METERS FOR ONLY 75 TONS
Thus, the effort was aimed at maximum weight reduction without at the same time sacrificing on-board comfort. And the numbers prove it: 75 tons of weight is little for a 33-meter monster. Hull and deck are constructed of prepreg carbon sandwich. Equipped with lifting keel, the Baltic 108 also includes a retractable propeller for maximum sailing performance. The interior, designed by Mark Tucker, features a minimalist style. The bright and cozy living room features plenty of seating. The exteriors, on the other hand, provide an elegant single-level cockpit: sunbeds are provided on both sides as well as an efficient maneuvering area for racing.

ELEGANCE AND SILENCE ON THE WATER
Another guiding element of the design is the pursuit of maximum sound insulation, to improve the comfort of both motoring and sailing. One of WinWin’s shipbuilding features, then, is an innovative automatic glass bulkhead that separates the deck saloon from the cockpit; this system rises and falls at discretion, creating a constant relationship between inside and outside and nullifying the differences-a solution we have already seen on several occasions on many catamarans.
