The Baron 76 is a notable 7.6meter (approximately 25foot) sailboat that emerged from the rigorous competitive environment of the IOR (International Offshore Rule) Quarter Tonner class. Designed by Oleg Larionov and primarily produced at the Tallinn Experimental Sporting Shipyard (VERF) in Estonia between 1983 and 1992, the model was a staple of Baltic and Eastern European racing. While known internationally as the Baron 76, the design is deeply intertwined with its regional counterparts, the Polaris and the CT25, which share the same hull and performance pedigree. Originally conceived as a racing vessel for the Sovietera sports programs, many units were later exported to Western Europe—particularly the Netherlands and Scandinavia—where they found a second life as accessible, highperformance club racers and pocket cruisers.
