The prestigious Boat International magazine awarded the World Superyacht Awards, the prizes reserved for mega yachts (above 24 m). This year, in the category of “Sailing Yacht of the Year,” a result that in many ways we expected: the 43.3-meter “super-eco” Baltic Canova, which is absolutely avant-garde in terms of sustainability and elegance, won hands down.
CANOVA, THE STATE OF THE ART OF SAILING CRUISING
We called it the state of the art of sailing cruising. A giant of the sea, 43.33 meters long by 9 meters wide made to travel the world. No “regatta mentality,” but lots of technology and mammoth design work. And even without the “race” part, this boat is undoubtedly as technologically advanced as there will be at sea as far as sailing cruising is concerned.
The design is by Farr Yacht Design, with interiors and exteriors by Italian hands, namely Lucio Micheletti’s Milan studio.Canova is also the first boat of its size to be fitted with DSS foils, designed to improve comfort and performance.
The sail plan is sporty, with huge square top mainsail and small jibs for easy handling.
For the Baltic 142, the dimensions came about as a function of a midship owner’s cabin and a large tender garage aft that influenced the interior layout. The focus is precisely on comfort, and with the master cabin amidships, the “side” effects of the sea are felt less (for those inside). If we add to this expedient that pitching and rolling are significantly reduced by the DSS foils we also understand why this typically “race” solution is required. But it doesn’t end there.
The greenest
The world is moving toward electric, and a cutting-edge boat like Canova 142 could not be outdone. In fact, it does more, because it is fully electric, has no heat engine and is energy self-sufficient. When one considers that all maneuvers are electrically controlled, one understands, at least in part, the extent of the technological work aboard this hull. How is energy generated? Mainly with propeller drag and at 14 knots this boat produces 20 Kw while losing only half a knot to friction.
