bmiller 730 #1 Posted July 30, 2020 Not sure exactly what it is, ad says Baltic design built in Finland. I think it looks pretty cool and would be a blast on my local reservoir. Only weighs 3100 and is long and skinny. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/boa/d/long-beach-baltic-design-27ft/7158277769.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grande Mastere Dreade 2,031 #4 Posted July 30, 2020 Quote REASON FOR SALE: - to transfer value to a 32 ft sailboat with more interior space, kitchen, marine head really, getting up in the middle of the night to pee, must have been a bitch.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breamerly 74 #5 Posted July 30, 2020 dude could just get a 27' that isn't some kind of rusky RocketCoffin the interior on that thing looks like my buddy's SJ20. I suppose it's fast as hell, or whatever. Added bonus: gimballed kero lamps: take your pick between a sooty headliner and dim light vs a boat fire and lots of light. if I'm being honest though it does sound appealing as hell to be able to trailer out to your sailing grounds. I'd go for it if I didn't have a rugrat chewing my wallet and a wife who likes to stand up straight (weird brit). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redboat 35 #6 Posted July 30, 2020 Scandinavian/northern european boat type. A friend has a Aphrodite 101 and years ago I considered a BB10. Similarly narrow with good sized frac rigs that were a delight to sail, especially upwind. All well built, easily driven hulls, well mannered and seaworthy. All these boats look like descendents from Solings. Great boats but pain buckets when raced hard. They required droop hiking. I knpw a couple of guys that picked up old Solings for nothing added a minimalist cabin structure and a berth and had a blast doing some singlehanded coastal sailing. You going to splash your new toy on Lake Dillon? WHEN I ever get my sorry ass to move to Colorado I was considering a boat for the area. I don't love them but my money looks to be on a J22. Comfy cockpit, gets up and scoots off the breeze, easily trailered and there are enough in the Denver area to have some decent competition. We'll see. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudsailor 84 #9 Posted July 31, 2020 Basically a Soling with a lid. Did Cowes week in one back when I was a kid (maybe 1982?) easy boat to sail 3 up and a nice Little cabin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10thTonner 244 #10 Posted July 31, 2020 There’s more than a dozen of them in my club. Excellent daysailers /weekenders for their size, and they still race OD in many European countries, too. Only issues are: no reef line (in OD configuration), and iron keels. So be prepared to work with traveller and backstay and look for signs of rust regularly. You can’t go wrong with a H-Boat.

Yes, I do sail an H-Boat! I'm very happy with her. Sails like a dream, even in light air. I simplified the hardware layout, so she is very easy to single hand. My wife like the boat too. I think the headroom at the companionway (not offset ) is about 4'10". I'll check next time I'm there. During the renovation, I removed the hull and headliners, and painted the fiberglass off-white.

My main has one set of reef point, which is good, because the mast has a Harken mast track, which make the mast un-bendy. 10th where are you located? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He dry-sails his H-boat and does all the OD regattas from Scandinavia to lake Garda...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
