| We were five men, young at that time. We had eloped from Nautor in order to start our own boat yard to build the very finest sailboats in the world together with a group of local talents of the Bosund region. This we planned to do with a lighter displacement than the competitors´ boats, not only in order to increase performance, but also to make life easier, more enjoyable, and we had the idea that utilizing more modern high-tech materials and methods could do this. Not fighting head-to-head with other boat yards but instead by creating "our own product" for the small niche of very demanding performance cruising/racer sailors. The years 1973 and 1974 were extremely busy for our new company. Not only did we develop and make moulds for our first model, but also prior to this or rather parallel we built our factory facilities from scratch. | |

History
In order to broaden our activities, we added the Baltic 33 (C&C Design) in 1975. We also built our first Custom (one-off) yacht in 1975. This was a C&C designed 2-tonner, "Tina I-Punkt". In total we delivered 15 yachts in 1975, followed by 28 yachts 1976. The year 1977 was one of the milestones for our company. At the end of this year Hollming Ltd. (a large Finnish ship builder) purchased Baltic Yachts and enabled us to increase model development and also us to do an effective world wide marketing. At this time we also opened up our own sales office in USA, and started a large marketing campaign.
