This 218ft ketch is the biggest yacht Baltic have launched to date and in many ways she remains in a class of her own.
Despite her classic looks with a plumb stem and sweeping counter, she is a thoroughly modern high performance yacht taking full advantage of Baltic’s carbon composite building and engineering expertise.
Apart from her powerful sailplan, Hetairos sports not only a lifting keel, but also an unusual lifting rudder enabling her to fulfill her potential while sailing and access shallower anchorages and harbours when at rest.
She has proved to be a force to be reckoned with on the race course, but is just a capable as a world girdling cruising yacht capable of independent sailing for long periods of time.
Hetairos was one of the most challenging projects undertaken by Baltic Yachts and she remains one of the most outstanding sailing superyachts in the world.
Hetairos was delivered in 2011.

Written by Chelsea Smith The 66.9m sailing yacht Hetairos built under the project name Panamax has been launched by Baltic Yachts. S/Y Hetairos, launched at Baltic Yachts yard in Pietarsaari, Finland features naval architecture and exterior lines designed by Reichel Pugh Yacht Design in collaboration with Dykstra & Partners , with interior styling designed by Rhoades Young Design . The construction of the Hetairos yacht was managed by Jens Cornelsen.  67m Sailing yacht Hetairos ( ex project Panamax ) launched by Baltic Yachts - Credit Baltic Yachts The modern classic ketch Hetairos boasts a distinctive appearance with an aggressive, near-plumb bow and a very long stern overhang, reminiscent of the British pilot cutters that sailed the seas in the mid- to late- 1800s.  The impressive fast ketch rigged sailing superyacht Hetairos was referred to as Panamax when under construction which relates to the maximum mast height that can pass through Panama Canal which is 62.5m. The megayacht measures 66.9m overall with a waterline length of 49.8 m and a beam of 10.5 m. Despite her epic proportions, she has been designed provide an impressive performance overall. The Yacht owner wanted to build a yacht with a classic look that was the largest and fastest possible yacht that would still be capable of crossing the Panama Canal. The Hetairos (Panamax) modern classic yacht has a hull built out of High Tech Carbon with pre-impregnated carbon skins and Corecell and Nomex Core. The light weight and stiff construction of the hull, her deck made of carbon prepreg with a Nomex core as well as an emphasis on a lightweight interior all helps to provide weight savings which is expected to help her to attain an impressive sailing performance, especially when married with her deep lifting keel for extra upwind pointing.  Yacht Hetairos’ interior by Rhoades Young is intended to sympathise with the yacht’s classic exterior design with a strong Colonial influence making use of hardwood veneered joinery and white painted panelling on lightweight substrates, incorporating rich colours and textures to reflect an Asian influence. Accommodations onboard superyacht Hetairos includes an expansive owners suite located aft of the mizzen mast with a skylight providing impressive straight up the mizzen mast and 4 guest cabins for a total of up to 10 guests. Ten crew members are housed in 4 crew cabins and a Captain’s cabin. The Hetairos superyacht by Baltic Yachts has been launched and delivery of the yacht is expected to take place soon.

For example, the special honour from the jury at the World Superyacht Awards in Istanbul for the "remarkable contribution to the technical progress of sailing superyachts". What a bland title for such an exciting ship.  Her size of almost 220 feet and the retro look make "Hetairos" an eye-catcher on the outside. The traditional deck superstructure, the long bowsprit and the classic stern shape, which are all somewhat reminiscent of a windjammer, are unique in this combination. But the rest of the yacht represents the state of the art. The latest construction methods for building from carbon fibre (she is said to be the largest yacht built from this material to date) and a consistently implemented philosophy based on the greatest possible weight saving give the ship the performance potential of a racing yacht.  The development work at Reichel/Pugh began in 2003 and was in no way inferior to that of an America's Cup racer. They built a model on a scale of 1:7.5 to check the flow data in the tank tests, which were calculated by Frank DeBord using FloSim and Splash (Computational Fluid Dynamics). "We tested 17 different configurations until we arrived at the one that was actually built," explained designer Jim Pugh. And these measures paid off, as "Hetairos" impressively demonstrated with her victories in terms of time sailed at the Transatlantic Superyacht Regatta and the RORC Caribbean 600.  Length works and lightness even more so. But what "Hetairos" also showed was stability. A collision with a submerged rock - a real danger with a draught of 9 metres - during the St. Barth regatta was relatively minor because the crash box installed at the front of the keel bomb was able to absorb the forces released on impact. Project manager Jens Cornelsen stated that "the rest of the keel, as well as the keel suspension that extends through the entire hull, did not suffer any significant damage". A shipyard that can crane a ship of this size first had to be found for the repair...  So big ships have their own problems. But "Hetairos" could have been even bigger. But the owner wanted a yacht with which he could pass through the Panama Canal, which is why the rig was limited by the maximum clearance height of the canal bridge. The main mast is therefore "only" 62.5 metres high. Hence the term "Panamax ketch", which is sometimes used for "Hetairos".
