1990 Baltic 50 Custom Fairhaven Massachusetts

Name:Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse is a custom offshore racing sailboat designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built in 1990 by Baltic Custom Yachts in Finland. The boat is an exceptional example of Finnish craftsmanship in a competitive offshore racer. Since acquiring the boat in 2012, the current owner, (a shipyard owner) has been meticulously upgrading and maintaining the boat to a very high standard. A case in point: the boat has been “dry-sailed” since the current owner acquired her.

Unlike many of her stripped out racing competitors, Crazy Horse has the added feature of a proper main salon, minimal galley and a private cabin and enclosed head. Being built by Baltic, the quality of the joinery rivals that of any luxury cruising yacht. Weights of these cruising amenities are in the middle of the boat so as not to compromise the sailing performance of the boat. The ends are kept spartan and light as you would expect in a world-class racing boat.

The deck layout is what you would expect in a competitive ocean racing sailboat. The cockpit is wide and open and utmost consideration is given to efficient sail handling. All halyards, reefing lines and boom vang controls are lead aft to new Harken winches either side of the main companionway. New Harken primary winches are powered by a new Harken pedestal in the forward end of the cockpit. Secondary winches aft of the primaries are likewise new and by Harken. At the aft end of the cockpit is a large elk-hide wrapped steering wheel. Steering is comfortable whether sitting to weather on the side-deck or standing aft, going downwind. Running backstay winches are aft of the steering wheel clustered near centerline.
