Sparkman & Stephens Pedigree – Baltic Build Quality

Built in Finland by Baltic Yachts, OBELIX carries the Sparkman & Stephens design pedigree that makes this 52-footer such a trusted and enjoyable yacht to sail.

Extensively Refitted (2021 – 2024)

OBELIX has always sailed in the Mediterranean and has yet to cross an ocean. Between 2021 and 2024, she received major upgrades, including a new teak deck, new sails, updated Raymarine electronics, batteries, watermaker, and covers. All systems have been serviced and are ready for turn-key use.

Two-Cockpit Layout for Shorthanded or Crewed Sailing

The dual-cockpit configuration separates sail handling aft from a relaxed guest area forward — ideal for efficient shorthanded passages or comfortable cruising with crew.

Warm, Functional Interior for Extended Cruising

3 double cabins, 2 heads, and a bright saloon in beautiful wood create a comfortable living space for seasonal cruisers or liveaboards.

Sailing Yacht for Sale

OBELIX is a 1990 Baltic 52, designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Baltic Yachts Finland, renowned for precision composite construction and ocean-ready yachts.

This is the desirable two-cockpit version, offering excellent control from the aft helm and an efficient layout for shorthanded or crewed sailing.

OBELIX has been Mediterranean-based since launch. Between 2021 and 2024, she underwent an extensive refit, including a new 10 mm teak deck, new Ullman sails, Raymarine i70S electronics, a new propeller, new covers and sprayhood, and a hull polish and repaint. All batteries were renewed in 2024, and systems were serviced for immediate use.

Below deck, OBELIX shows Baltic’s trademark craftsmanship: solid teak joinery, practical layout, and excellent headroom. She offers accommodation for six in 3 double cabins, each with access to a head and shower, plus a large saloon with seating for 8 crew and a fully equipped galley.

Mechanically and electrically, OBELIX is fully modernized — Yanmar 107 hp diesel (surveyed 2022, approx. 2300 hrs), Vetus bow thruster, Mastervolt inverter and charger (2023), solar panels, Shencker Smart 100 watermaker (2024), and Lewmar windlass with new Rocna anchor.

Maintained with care and sailed lightly, she is an excellent opportunity to acquire a classic Baltic performance cruiser in genuine turn-key condition.
