The Baltic 42 DP represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Baltic Yachts, marking a transition from the shipyard’s early collaboration with C&C Design toward the refined, IORinfluenced performance of Doug Peterson (the "DP" in the model name). Launched in 1982 and produced until 1985, this model was conceived as a highend performance cruiser that could excel on the racecourse while providing the exquisite Scandinavian joinery expected of a premier Finnish builder. Built using a sophisticated balsacored sandwich construction with fiberglass and Aramid (Kevlar) reinforcements, the 42 DP was significantly lighter and stiffer than many of its contemporaries, a hallmark of the Baltic Yachts legacy. With 30 units produced, it remains a soughtafter vessel for sailors who prioritize a tactile, responsive helm and a hull that maintains its structural integrity decades after leaving the yard in Bosund.
