Y-8

Description

For the Y8, the follow-up model to the first ever YYacht, the design and development team cooperated with Surge Projects. The Mallorcan design studio around Javier Jaudenes has a “knack” for a timelessly elegant design, but also has great experience in designing fast yachts.

This luxury yacht was designed for family vacations as it can be operated with a very small crew or even alone. Of course, the new Y8 also offers the innovative standard YYachts are accustomed to – such as the transverse garage in the stern, the self-tacking jib, the separate crew access in the cockpit or the flat deckhouse, whose optimally placed windows prevent the yacht from heating up too much.

There are numerous options for a layout of a Y8 below deck. With the available options the Y8 can flexibly adapt to your requirements, with the possibility to divide the front and rear living areas. With this division implemented, the crews’ cabins, the navigation station, and the galley of the yacht are then located in the stern. This is the ideal layout to maximize privacy and remains undisturbed by the crew. With two cockpit solutions, variable headroom, and an interior that can be fully adapted to the customer, Y8 is a sailing yacht which is as individual as its future owner.

The main salon is a sumptuous area that includes a relaxing lounge plus an exclusive dining area. This space can be used as part of the salon or, by closing the doors, can enlarge the master cabin converting into a fully equipped seagoing office. For this reason, here there are lockers dedicated to galley utensils and cutlery on one side and to office materials and equipment on the other side The crew quarters are located aft and are separate from the rest of the boat. The crew have two entrances, one connected to the cockpit and one close to the salon.

A large dinghy garage with a transversal storage of the tender is a feature nearly all YYachts share so far. With state-of-the-art technology, the yacht can be handled even by a couple or with very small crew.

The Y8 is one of the most customizable yachts in the 25 metre range providing speed, design, comfort and ease to use.

What We Say

Y-Yachts are dedicated to producing yachts that are light and fast, easy to sail and look good. At 70 to 100 feet – or 20 to 30 meters – in length, you will enjoy the ultimate comfort that only a luxury yacht can provide. Built in Germany, their designs are developed by the best naval architects in the world, delivering the highest quality and attention to detail for each client. They work with the most renowned designers such as Sir David Chipperfield, Bill Tripp, Lorenzo Argento, Design Unlimited, Surge Projects or Norm Architects.

The Y-8 is a perfect blend of cruising and racing yacht. Surge Projects, together with YYachts, developed a fast and equally safe yacht that is suitable for both family holidays and racing. Lightweight construction goes hand in hand with more sailing fun and, above all, is more sustainable. When other yachts are still under engine, the sails are already set on a YYacht.

What The Builders Say

In contrast to the previous Y-8, the new model has a wider stern, so that in combination with the mast set further back, Javier Jaudenes attests to the high speed potential of his design: “A lot of R&D results from earlier projects have gone into the Y-8. It is an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions. The new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe her as a good-mood yacht.”

By using carbon fiber and lightweight construction material in the interior, we achieve a high sail area/displacement ratio. On this 25-metre yacht, all halyards, sheets and extensions run concealed to the steering columns – so the helmsman can operate the Y-8 comfortably at all times and sail the yacht with a very small crew – “keep it simple

Due to the modular construction, the layout can be adapted to the owner’s wishes. We can install the master suite either in the stern or in the bow. The number of guest cabins is also variable – up to five are possible. The interior of a Y-8 can be individually designed for each owner. With its soft edges and coachroof, and flooded with natural light, the Y-8 has a relaxing atmosphere.
