Finnish luxury yacht builder Baltic Yachts launched PINK GIN VI (Baltic 175) - with a length of 54m the largest carbon fiber sloop to date in the world.
Pink Gin VI is the successor of the 46m Pink Gin. Her elegant exterior lines with a plumb bow and long stern overhang are a creation by the Germany-based studio judel/vrolijk & co. They also did the naval architecture. The interior comes from the boards of Design Unlimited.
The owner of Baltic’s flagship is Professor Hans Georg Näder – an experienced sailor who won the New Zealand Millenium Cup in 2007 and is a shareholder of Baltic with 80 % since 2013.
The yacht features a 68m carbon fiber mast and performance boom by Dutch company Rondal. Carbo-Link from Switzerland delivered the rigging equipment.
A not very often seen feature: She has two openings in the hull as balconies respectively terraces. One is forward at the owners’ area on the starboard side; the other one is amidships on the port side with direct access to the main salon. Apropos owner’s suite, this area also features a separate dressing room and a study. Five guest cabins with ensuite bathroom are also a part of the yacht.
PINK GIN VI Interior
Statement by Mark Tucker, Director of Design Unlimited
“Working on Pink Gin VI has been a great and exciting challenge. The new yacht is not so much an evolution of the previous Pink Gin, but a revolution in design; a superyacht that reflects the personality and passions of the owner.
It’s been a six-year journey that has pushed the boundaries of design to create a tactile interior that unites international art, fashion and experience.
Design Unlimited paid specific attention to partnering the exterior deck spaces with the interior. The result is a seamless transition, perfectly attuned to the al fresco lifestyle of superyacht ownership.
Pink Gin VI is not just a superyacht, she is a statement of individuality and creativity.”
PINK GIN VI got the Neptune Statue in the category “Sailing Yachts 50m and Above” at the World Superyacht Awards 2018.

Transporting something big
The transport of Pink Gin VI from the construction hall to the water was an event in Jakobstad – a Finnish town with a population of about 19,000 people.

PINK SHADOW, formerly known as JOY RIDER, has been modified to the owner’s requirements and now supports PINK GIN.
PINK GIN has been sold and renamed in Ravenger. The yacht got an intensive refit, including a new interior at Baltic Yachts.
