(Superyacht Times) – Imagine if on your way to work you were held up by a 146 foot yacht being trailered down the road.
Path, a 146-foot custom yacht from Baltic Yachts was recently hauled from her build yard in Bosund to be launched in Jakobstad, Finland, a distance of about 10 miles. See pictures.

The 44.6-metre Baltic 146 custom sailing yacht
Path was captured recently on route from her build yard in Bosund, to the ship builder’s premises in Jakobstad, where she will soon be launched. First announced in November 2018, she is the third-largest yacht in volume to have been commissioned from the yard, weighing in at 280 GT. She is also the fifth largest Baltic yacht to have been built, only a little larger than the 43.3-metre
Canova which was launched in 2019.
The hull made its 21km way through mostly local public roads, some of which had to be closed for the occasion. Transport specialists Nostokonepalvelu Oy, who have worked with Baltic Yachts for almost 40 years, assisted with this tricky manoeuvre, which employed 128 wheels between two low loaders.

Pekka Koskenkylä, the founder of the world-renowned Nautorâs Swan shipyard in Finland, has joined forces with his nephew, naval architect Sami Lehtonen, in the creation of a new concept of sailing yacht from their company OceanBel, the
Oceanbel
 128. The aim of this new design concept, has been to combine the volume and comfort of a large motor yacht, with the performance and aesthetics of a sailing yacht.

Oceanbel 128 sails with only two foresails and no mainsail. The impetus behind this innovation is to diminish the aerodynamic disturbance caused by the mainsail, without which the foresail operates with increased efficiency.
