2018 Baltic Baltic 85

MINI Y is a 26-metre sloop delivered in 2018 by Baltic Yachts, designed by Dixon Yacht Design with interiors by Mark Whiteley Design. Her composite construction combines an E-glass outer skin, carbon inner skin, and foam core with carbon bulkheads throughout, weighing just 50 tons. A telescopic lifting keel with an 11.39-ton bulb reduces draft to approximately 3 metres, allowing access to shallow anchorages while maintaining strong sailing performance. The sleek silver hull features clean sheer lines and a balanced profile suited to extended cruising.

Power comes from a single 132 kW Volvo Penta D4-180 diesel engine with 2,723 hours, delivering 9 knots at cruising speed and a maximum of 11 knots. Two Fischer Panda generators—15 kW and 25 kW—support ship's systems, backed by twin thrusters for manoeuvrability. The yacht carries 2,000 litres of fuel and 1,400 litres of fresh water, with an integrated water maker and comprehensive tank systems. Teak decks and open layout provide generous space for sunbathing and movement, with integrated steps leading below.

Accommodation comprises a light owner's suite forward and two guest cabins finished in pear wood, all designed to feel open and connected. The main salon combines lounge and dining areas with integrated technology; galley and crew quarters occupy separate functional space. Four heads serve the accommodation. The design prioritises simplicity and ease of handling, with clean joinery and minimalist styling throughout.

The yacht underwent a full refit in 2024, including new systems and equipment. Included is a 4.6-metre Williams jet tender.
