The Baltic 111 Raven, equipped with revolutionary hydrofoils, has triumphed in early sea trials, showcasing exceptional reliability and attaining sustained speeds in the high 20s. Over ten consecutive days of rigorous testing off Baltic Yachts' headquarters in Jakobstad, Finland, the super-lightweight sloop exhibited its prowess, setting the stage for its imminent handover to the owner in October.This superyacht is the first in its class to integrate hydrofoils mounted on adjustable side arms, supporting a substantial portion of its displacement. The sea trials marked the culmination of a meticulous two-year build and testing phase, characterized by Baltic Yachts' commitment to weight reduction, critical for the project's success.The yacht’s overall concept, including the interior and exterior styling is by Finn Jarkko Jämsén. Naval architecture is by Botin Partners and structural engineering by PURE Design in New Zealand, both of whom are at the leading edge of the latest America’s Cup foiling technology. Leading the Raven project is the highly experienced Garth Brewer of A2B Marine Projects. Raven's performance, meeting initial expectations, has been a result of a collaborative effort involving the foil team, rig suppliers, sailmakers, structural engineers, and the Baltic Yachts build team. Henry Hawkins, Baltic Yachts' Executive Vice President, expressed delight in the promising and successful trials but emphasized that this marks just the beginning of the journey.Sailing under a full main and a triple-headed sailplan, Raven showcased its foiling capability, utilizing the leeward foil to support a significant part of its displacement.

The core concept behind Vatoz is to optimize dynamics inspired by the stingray. Beneath its clean surfaces and curved lines lies an aerodynamic masterpiece. Distinctive lines guide your gaze across the front, extending to the prominent wings."The side wings, aside from providing easy access to the front area, act as a barrier against waves, doubling as storage for sea toys.

"Vatoz, meaning Stingray, draws inspiration from this elegant creature, serving as a tribute to endangered marine life."The interior seamlessly extends the exterior's design ethos. Bathed in natural light, the stylish cabin offers an unparalleled owner experience. Elegant windows and a skylight amplify the sense of space, combining sporty aesthetics with modern luxury.Crafted with precision from lightweight carbon fiber, Vatoz embodies the forefront of sustainable yachting. Its distinctive wing-like structures not only enhance agility but ingeniously provide access to the bow and extra storage, reinforcing its forward-thinking stance in the yachting landscape.“Foiling brings another dimension to the yachting experience,” said Timur Bozca. “The Foiler’s experience and comfort is the dream the yacht industry is trying to achieve. It is the perfect extension of elegance, tranquility, and a vision of the future, which is represented in our designs.”The Enata Group is the international manufacturing group headquartered in United Arab Emirates, and the builder of the flying 9.8-meter carbon Foiler.
