"The Baltic 35 is a fast, handy and comfortable racer-cruiser. Her design and layout makes her easy for a family crew to handle, and she is amazingly roomy and comfortable below decks. The fine waterline guarantees speed to windward, even in choppy seas. Special care had been taken to design the section and distribution of displacement to optimize performance and handling characteristics." - Baltic Yachts website

"The Baltic 35 is more than 2000 pounds lighter than typical of boats of this size, paying tribute to its sophisticated engineering and construction. Strong, lightweight boats are what Baltic strives for and takes a great deal of pride in producing. Hulls and decks are both balsa-cored, although the core is eliminated in the area of through-hull fittings to prevent water from entering the core. It is the small, unseen details of construction that rank Baltic among the highest quality and most expensive boats of its type, age, and size range. Just a few of these details include tanks that are fiberglass tabbed to the hull not only for strength, but to ensure that debris such as sawdust, bolts, and screws don't compromise the tanks. Bulkheads are attached to the hull, as well as the deck, for a stronger overall construction. As of this writing (March 2017), three are offered for sale in Rhode Island, Kentucky and Florida. Asking prices ranged from $99,000 to $119,000. I found four boats that had been sold since 2000 with actual selling prices ranging from $72,000 to $96,000." - Baltic 35 Boat Review by Jack Horner, SpinSheet Magazine, published March 2017

With a home port of Baltimore, Maryland since 1999, Infrared has been on the upper Chesapeake Bay in a low salinity environment for the past 20 years. Continuously upgraded and maintained by ABYC certified mechanics at a full service boat yard, Infrared is in top condition and ready to sail anywhere right now. Manufactured in Finland to the exacting standards of Baltic Yachts and the JUDEL/VROLIJK design team, she is sturdy enough for North Sea conditions (Infrared has sailed to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and many times to New England), yet is agile enough to be a competitive club racer.

The Baltic 35 is described in "The World's Best Sailboats", by Ferenc Mate, pp. 31-42, ISBN 0-920256-11-2, W.W. Norton, New York. (available on Amazon.com).
