Just Listed! Having sailed the world Northern Pearl has returned to her home port in Vancouver and is ready for her next owner. December 2024 survey available. More photo, videos and inventory list to come. Designed by Douglas B Peterson and built by Baltic Yachts in Finland. These Baltics are made to go the distance.
Northern Pearl” is a mast head rigged sloop, fin displacement keel monohull sailing vessel with aft closed cockpit, wheel steering, cockpit equipment lockers and center hatch access to the interior spaces that is covered with a stainless-steel tube frame Bimini and canvas dodger, the decks are an open plan camber side deck, low profile raised coach roof and open foredeck with all necessary sail control equipment.
The interior is a single level open plan arrangement with midships saloon, midships port side galley, aft nav station and port and stbd seating on either side of a central table arrangement, the accommodation arrangement consists of a fwd v-berth and with aft double bunk cabin with port side heads arrangement.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Prototype was ‘Big Shadow’, and similar to the slightly larger Peterson design #77, ‘Lousiana Crude’/SERENDIPITY 43.
Rig Dimensions for Tall Mast version:
I: 57.50’
J: 17.68’
P: 51.00’
E: 15.00’
Keel/CB version exists.
