This gorgeous yacht, here shown in the Helsingborg harbour today, is the Bramora, owned by Norwegian billionaire Per G. Braathen, who is a keen sailor. "There is nothing that makes me feel as relaxed as when I am sailing", he told an interviewer a few years ago.
The Bramora, a 73 feet yacht built by Baltic Yachts in Finland, should be ideal for a serious sailing enthusiast like Braathen.
Here is how the builders describe the yacht, previously called Baltic 73 Canica:
"A European client asked Baltic Yachts to build a 73ft pilothouse yacht to a Judel/Vrolijk design. With this kind of design, however, comes a challenge in maintaining a high level of sailing performance, due to the additional weight in the superstructure of the pilothouse along with the high levels of equipment typically installed on this kind of yacht. However, careful design and the use of high-tech composites still enabled us to achieve a ballast to displacement ratio of around 40 per cent."
Specifications:
| LOA: | 22,30 m |
| DWL: | 18,50 m |
| Beam: | 5,50 m |
| Draft: | 3,30 m |
| Displacement: | 35 000 kg |
| Ballast: | 14 300 kg |
PS
Based on the information on the Baltic Yachts webpage, it appears that the Bramora has undergone a complete refit, and is consequently looking like new now.
