RAVEN

Baltic 111 Custom foil-assisted superyacht RAVEN was launched in 2023 by the Finish shipyard Baltic Yachts. A beautiful performance yacht, she was designed by Jarkko Jamsen with naval architecture by Botin partners and structural engineering by PURE Design and Engineering.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF RAVEN

• Foil assisted ultra lightweight yacht
• Reminiscent of a supercar

EXTERIOR
Two large T-shaped hydrofoils mounted on hydraulically controlled side arms support some of the boat’s displacement and with a target displacement of 55 tons, she marks an ambitious next step for the shipyard.

Key to her design is an unusual cockpit structure likened to that of a bird’s nest with Perspex set in crisscrossed carbon-composite mullions that creates an inverted observation dome. Further weight saving is achieved by minimising the amount of caulking between each pane and replacing some of it with a foam fillet. The cockpit is also able to convert to a semi-covered, hardtop seating area, courtesy of the clam-shell style forward section.

INTERIOR
Jarkko Jämsén opted for a distinctive, industrial aesthetic for the interiors, featuring minimalist, but most importantly lightweight, rattan deckhands alongside exposed carbon. To save weight, the yacht’s structure will be used as part of the interior and materials like bamboo and rattan will feature in the finish. A luxury interior, with a fully fitted galley and air conditioning throughout, will add to the challenge of hitting weight targets with precision.
