Y Yachts’ Y7 review: This powerful carbon cruiser is guaranteed to excite

• Toby Hodges
• March 5, 2020

Michael Schmidt’s powerful new Y7 combines genius ideas with a keep-it-simple theme, says Toby Hodges

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

What is your idea of simple sailing? To a wooden yacht enthusiast it may be the pleasure of hand hoisting and trimming sails via block and tackle alone, where an owner of a modern glassfibre yacht might baulk at the amount of upkeep timber demands and prefer the ease of push button sailing.

Others might look back whimsically to their youth and the joy of simply dragging a dinghy down the beach and sailing without any maintenance or financial woes.

Michael Schmidt ’s latest creation is his solution to simple sailing at the luxury end of the scale. The decorated sailor who founded Hanse Yachts believes in a keep-it-simple philosophy with his models, which you may find hard to believe when looking at this new 70-footer and the levels of technical complexity that must lie beneath its carbon fibre/epoxy skins.

But having sailed the Y7 in precisely the light wind conditions for which it was designed, and felt the thrill of helming a perfectly balanced, potent and contemporary fast cruiser, I can vouch that it does have a theme of simplicity, which becomes dangerously enticing.

“Sailing fun is made possible by a simple ship that has been reduced to the bare essentials without sacrificing comfort,” Schmidt believes. We’re not talking a yacht stripped to engineless minimalism here. The Y7 is, to all intents and purposes, a scaled-down superyacht , which has been kept approachable, performance-oriented and comparatively easy to manage.

I quote Schmidt not simply because he is the founder of the company, but because he is a veteran boatbuilder, sailor and visionary of the industry. Having built up and then sold Hanse Yachts, and extensively cruised its largest model at the time, the 630e, he searched fruitlessly for a larger, lighter boat that could better harness the softer breezes typically found in the Mediterranean.

Advanced Yachts A80: Lightweight luxury cruiser can sail in the lightest breeze

A multitude of shiny new yachts drifted across the Bay of Cannes, like a painting of a seascape reflected in…

Michael Schmidt Yachtbau, now Y Yachts, is the brand of luxury carbon cruisers he created, a German firm that aims to use the best technology available to simplify the sailing. Schmidt also believes a yacht needs aesthetics that will distinguish it from the pack.

This philosophy underpinned his first model, the Brenta 80 (now Y8). Schmidt has since cruised that test boat, Cool Breeze , thousands of miles. And while many reportedly liked that concept and design style, they found it too large for their needs.

‘A 70ft yacht you can sail alone’ became Y Yachts’ target. The result is a fast cruiser with no backstay(s), a self-tacking jib and winches and lines that fall to the hand of the helmsman.

The design echoes the style of the Y8 and sees Schmidt maintain his penchant for high topsides (from his Hanse days), combined with a flat, low coachroof. Schmidt doesn’t like having to rely on crew and typically sails two-up.

Nevertheless the beamy and voluminous Y7 includes a crew cabin within the interior (rather than stuffed in the forepeak), with private access to the cockpit.

Bill Tripp was tasked with targeting lightweight performance to ensure the boat would offer enjoyable sailing in single figure windspeeds. A key attribute of the Y7 is that it shouldn’t need to motor in light airs.

That said, it can motor very efficiently thanks to the inclusion of two engines; Schmidt values low fuel consumption, good manoeuvrability and systems redundancy.

Carbon construction

Carbon sandwich construction with an epoxy outer skin results in a moderate/light displacement of 29 tonnes and a good balance of impact protection and noise control. Although Schmidt built some of the earliest carbon race yachts, he now subcontracts hull and deck moulding to specialist lamination yards in Poland and Slovenia, then fitting out in his new 3,000m 2 facility in Greifswald.

The structural work and finish of the first Y7, Bella , is certainly to a high standard, and the sub-€2m starting price for this 70ft carbon composite cruiser explains the appeal of the new design and demand to see it in action. The second hull has been handed over, the third is in build and the yard is now set up to produce one boat every four months.

The price is a significant factor. The Y7 represents is a lot of carbon yacht for the money. At this price point, potential buyers might be tempted to compare it to a large semi-production cruiser such the CNB 76 or Euphoria 68 . However, those who are looking for comparable performance would need to look at lighter composite yachts – and the Swan 65 , for example, costs another €1m.

Simply seductive

Bella certainly looked very much at home nestled among the superyachts at Port Adriano marina in Mallorca. The flat coachroof was adorned with sunbeds and a table and chairs were set up on its large flush foredeck.

The large bimini shading it hung from the mast, forestay and shrouds – a clever idea to use the foredeck to create a shaded area away from dock. Bella also has a removable cockpit bimini, mounted on four carbon posts.

When sail trialling a yacht, you always hope to get the type of conditions for which it is primarily designed. I favour moderate winds to ensure I can get a proper feel for the boat. So I did fret a little as we motored out of the marina and met a sloppy sea and a gentle breeze.

However, that long afternoon and evening we spent under sail proved perfect for demonstrating the Y7’s capabilities, and particularly for appreciating its ability to be able to keep on sailing in light winds.

In just 10 knots of breeze, typical midsummer Mediterranean conditions, we were already heeled and powered-up, sailing at 8-8.5 knots. The modern, beamy hull shape, with a long waterline and generous sail area, all help produce such speeds. The sail area to displacement ratio is a huge 33.4, a figure that confirms this design’s significant power aloft. Consequently, she will need to be reefed early.

Lines are led under deck to winches fore and aft of the wheels. This shows the starboard aft winch with shorepower connections below. Photo: Nico Krauss

The square-top fully battened mainsail has 184m 2 of sail area alone, which could be a lot to handle without sufficient crew. An upgrade to the winch package would be on my option list, as it took an age to hoist this sail from the lazyjacks.

However, the helmsman feels the benefit of this sailpower immediately. Tacking the boat is an addictive, one-person affair. The 30° sweptback spreaders avoid the need for a backstay, and allow the use of a self-tacking jib.

We found more breeze once out into the bay and continued our beat west away from the island. The outboard position of the wheel pedestals helps give the helmsman clear views over the flat, low coachroof.

The huge aft deck raises on struts to reveal an enormous watertight garage for a 3.45m RIB, which is launched using a carbon pole off the boom’s aft end. The design allows the garage to remain sealed when the swim platform is lowered. Photo: Nico Krauss

The helm is generally light, as you’d expect with twin rudders, but with a pleasant increase in weatherhelm when the boat heels and powers up. There is also plenty of grip from these rudders, which are positioned relatively far outboard.

It is less comfortable for crew, however. Such is the beam aft (over 18ft) that it can feel unnerving to cross the cockpit or to stay seated to windward when at a high heeling angle. Comparable yachts of this size tend to have a mainsheet winch plinth with rails or a support/crash bar between the wheels. Y Yachts says it can offer the latter, which is an option I’d certainly recommend.

The long cockpit with split tables has room for eight to sit around, with more space on the large aft-facing seats. The portside seat has access to the crew quarters neatly integrated beneath. The aluminium frames that form the backrests for the cockpit seats are freestanding of the coamings, a clear indication that this boat is aimed at warm weather sailing.

Push button reaching

I thought the Y7 might be all about the upwind sailing experience, keeping the apparent windspeed up and heel on, but then we hoisted a Code 0 for the long reach back.

At the push of another pedestal button, an electric furler fitted in the end of the bowsprit unleashed an enormous amount of sail (acquired, it transpired, from a Maxi 72). With this code sail set, we picked up pace and were able to match the 7-11 knot wind speeds all the way home.

The single point mainsheet is led forward to the mast and aft to one winch. This arrangement, together with the other sheets and halyards, results in a mass of rope tails in the cockpit. Unusually (and commendably), there are generous-sized rope tail lockers between the winches to keep all these lines from getting too unruly.

The deck is stepped in line with where the guest cockpit meets the sailing cockpit, so there is easy access out onto the sidedecks. Here, the double guardrails reduce to single rails to meet the bulwark and pushpit.

This low rail invites the helmsman to sit right out to leeward and enjoy the clear views forward. However, the wide-open aft deck and low rail do little to promote a secure feeling if you are in the sailing cockpit.

Nevertheless, as I perched to leeward, and with a light hand on the wheel, the sailing was truly memorable, and we footed along effortlessly under the Code sail.

Two engines

The Y7 certainly has a slippery hull design – so much so that it was only as we approached the marina that I remembered that the Y7 is fitted with two shaft-drive propellers. Twin Nanni engines were chosen as they are simple to repair, with few electronics, and their relatively small size means the saloon sole and thus coachroof can be kept low and streamlined.

However, problems with the installation on this first boat resulted in unacceptable noise levels, an issue the yard now reports has been resolved. It says all future models will have saildrives.

Under power, the boat doesn’t quite spin on a point like a catamaran – the props are quite close together – but the twin engines certainly aid manoeuvrability and mean that you are much less reliant on the bowthruster.

Below decks, the styling matches the impressive look of the exterior, and is akin to a designer apartment. In Bella ’s case, it was customised specially for Michael Schmidt. Hull number two is said to have a much lighter, less masculine trim.

Schmidt was inspired by modern architectural designs he saw in Copenhagen, and this is reflected in the feel of the finish, from the choice of fabrics, to the lighting and overall interior shapes.

Smart thinking and styling

Multiple layout options are offered including three or four cabins, and the choice of a central transverse galley or passageway galley aft. Abaft the aft port cabin is a clever, if super-compact, crew cabin, which contains two bunks at right angles to each other, a heads and private access to the sailing cockpit.

The semi-raised saloon creates the impression of a huge space. The yacht’s large beam accentuates this by exposing the curves and structures of hull sides. On the test boat the saloon has a wide-open space extending as far as the galley, sited amidships. To help you traverse it, there are sliding leather grabhandles on the deckhead for when moving about.

I like the use of vertical glass coachroof windows, which let in plenty of light without producing too much heat, but to provide better ventilation I would prefer to have more opening portholes and some coachroof hatches.

The galley is relatively compact and is open along the centreline, a layout that is perhaps not ideally suited to life at heel. That said, it boasts a large area of fiddled work surfaces and generous amounts of refrigerated stowage, and the yard does offer the option of a larger, enclosed galley aft, which connects through to the crew accommodation.

A central island berth in the forward cabin suggests this, too, is designed more for use in port than at sea. Hull number two has an offset berth here, which will be more practical at sea.

The Y7 is undeniably a lovely yacht to spend time aboard and one that can be handled with relative ease. The ‘keep it simple’ philosophy is felt mostly in the sailing, trimming and manoeuvring. The helmsman can easily manage lines and controls from the wheel – though would need help with setting, stowing and reefing sails. From the design of the tender garage, the installation of twin engines to a myriad of neat fixtures and fittings, the Y7 is packed with novel ideas, all born out of Michael Schmidt’s enormous experience. Below decks the Y7 feels as much like a luxury apartment as a yacht, and the style can be customised to suit an owner. I loved the exterior and interior design of Bella, although I think the layout is more set up for use at rest than at sea. The contemporary styling is bound to divide opinion. But the Y7 boasts superyacht quality at a size that is properly rewarding to sail. This powerful yacht boasts a level of performance that is guaranteed to excite.

Our Y9 is unique and so is every single Y9. Above all, she is as individual as our customers themselves, because her layout and equipment are completely variable. Complementing this, the Y9 offers the volume of a 100-foot yacht in 90 feet. And she is available in three exciting versions – Y9, Y9 Pilot House, Y9 Custom. The main focus for Y9 owners is spending time with family and friends on board. As a result, the 90-foot carbon sailing yacht is easy to sail even with a small crew. Her interior design fulfills and even extends all owners' wishes for a family yacht with sufficient privacy while they travel the world. Of course, the Y9 can also prove her potential on regatta courses in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean and sail right at the front of the field.

We would be delighted to assist you in your construction project. Do not hesitate to contact us to receive her full brochure.

YYachts Reveals 27.4 Metre Carbon Fibre Sailing Yacht Flagship Y9

German sailing yacht builder YYachts has revealed its new 27.4 metre carbon fibre flagship, the Y9.

Already in build and set to launch in summer 2021, the yacht has been described as a “lightweight masterpiece of craftsmanship” by the builder.

Exterior design and naval architecture have been penned by Bill Tripp while the interior has been styled by Norm Architects in collaboration with Design Unlimited.

Speaking about the yacht, YYachts founder Michael Schmidt said: "With her length of 90 feet, the yacht has an interesting rating and is for sure able to win some trophies at the St Barths Bucket, the Superyacht Cup or the Maxi Rolex Cup".

Built entirely from carbon fibre, the Y9 will feature a tender garage at the stern and private owner’s apartment for maximum privacy, complete with a private saloon, dressing room, and bathroom with double washbasins. The yacht will also feature a lifting keel that can reduce the draft from 4.4 metres to 2.8 metres.

The crew area has been designed to be extra spacious, with a crew lounge and additional storage space.

Two interior layout options have been penned by Design Unlimited and Norm Architects, though customers have the option to customise these to match their own tastes.

The interior captures a “Scandinavian elegant look” with a “soft minimalism” achieved through oiled oak and grey fabrics and panels.

Speaking about the interior, Design Unlimited’s Mark Tucker said: “Clients will appreciate the authenticity of our design and the sustainable materials we recommend. People are increasingly orienting themselves towards nature: taking from nature and giving back to nature. This principle is particularly pervasive in the luxury market."

The new Y8 from the YYachts shipyard is the unprecedented evolution of large yachts from Teutonic production. It proves that boats like these, although very large, can include the coveted “simplicity”. Without omitting top luxury and safe navigation. The “good mood” on board also comes from the super performance, optimal for fast cruising and racing with friends.

Comfort and performance

Luxury, large spaces, but above all simplicity and cruising performance. YYachts worked on this Y8 in synergy with Javier Jaudeness of Surge Projects. The result is all there: a big, fast yacht that will amaze anyone. Let’s start by describing the exterior , but without neglecting a curiosity. Donna Rosa is also a film that tells the story of a boatman who falls in love with the daughter of an antiquarian aspiring to nobility. And when you look at the colour palette of this Y8, you can see the same atmosphere of mischief and romance as in Ettore Maria Fizzarotti’s movie. But there’s more. The soft pink colour of Donna Rosa ‘s hull, however, implies carbon with the superior performance that this material can offer.

Yyachts Y8: exciting racing

Lightweight, “ the new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe it as a good-mood boat, ” says Javier Jaudeness . How could he not be right? Donna Rosa’s performance promises to be ultra-satisfying, but the brand’s philosophy is one of easy yachting for carefree cruising.

And safety: “ We build fast boats that are both safe and easy to manoeuvre, ” explains Dirk Zademack , CEO of YYachts. We know this and so does Micheal Schmidt: “Sailing with fun is something that can be achieved with a yacht that is simple and kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort” . Along with this goes a sophisticated design, with a Nordic, uncluttered interior that is relaxed, very Zen-like but warm at the same time.

The design study for this new Y8 includes numerous details that confirm the brand’s quest for “performance”. The large foredeck is completely free of structural obstacles, with its large bowsprit to increase the sail plan. And, most importantly, the engine room is positioned at amidships below the saloon to further lower the yacht’s centre of gravity. This increases the yacht’s speed while also stabilizing it.

Another innovative solution is the transverse garage at the stern. The deckhouse is also entirely panoramic, with a slightly raised roof. It is also perfect for the cold seasons and offers a pleasant ‘ homey ‘ feeling. The separate access to the cockpit for the crew is another feature that should not be underestimated. In terms of accommodation , the owner’s cabin can be arranged forward or aft. In total there’s room for three or four cabins. And the galley is available in both closed and open versions.

The new Y8 from YYachts is set to become an iconic large yacht. But to really appreciate it, you have to totally embrace that famous “ good mood ” concept that only yachts like this can offer.

Ihre individuelle Superyacht

Unsere Y9 ist einzigartig und jede einzelne Y9 ist es auch. Vor allem ist sie so individuell wie unsere Kunden selbst, denn ihr Layout und ihre Ausstattung sind vollkommen variabel. Ergänzend dazu bietet die Y9 auf 90 Fuß das Volumen einer 100-Fuß-Yacht, die in drei spannenden Versionen erhältlich ist – Y9, Y9 Pilot House, Y9 Custom.

Das Hauptaugenmerk der Y9-Eigner liegt darauf, Zeit mit Familie und Freunden an Bord zu verbringen. Daher ist die 90-Fuß-Carbon-Luxusyacht auch mit einer kleinen Crew leicht zu segeln. Ihr Innendesign übertrifft die Wünsche der meisten Eigner nach einer Familienyacht mit ausreichend Privatsphäre, während sie die Welt bereisen. Natürlich kann die Y9 auch auf Regattakursen im Mittelmeer oder in der Karibik ihr Potenzial unter Beweis stellen und ganz vorne mitsegeln. Sie wird bei jeder Regatta ein ernstzunehmender Gegner sein.

Wie alle YYachten folgt auch die Y9 einer klaren Design-Philosophie – die Reduktion aller unnötigen Aufbauten und Komponenten, um ein klares und minimalistisches Deck zu schaffen: „Keep it simple. Look good and sail nicely.“

UNERMESSLICHE FREUDE AN BORD

Der Luxus, selbstbestimmt und selbstbewusst in See stechen zu können, ist unbezahlbar. Noch angenehmer ist es, eine komfortable, leistungsstarke und seetüchtige Yacht zu besitzen, die schnell segelt und dabei noch cool aussieht. Unsere Y9 bietet das in einer Weise, wie es keine andere Yacht kann.

Entdecken Sie YYachts unvergleichliche Leistung und Einfachheit

Leichte Carbon-Konstruktion

Die innovative Verwendung von leichtem Carbon bei YYachts bietet unvergleichliche Vorteile. Segeln Sie auch bei leichtem Wind schnell dank des reduzierten Gewichts, das auch die Belastungen auf Mast und Decksbeschläge verringert. Dieses Design ermöglicht eine einfachere Handhabung durch eine kleine Crew und sorgt für ein nahtloses Segelerlebnis.

Einfachheit

Bei YYachts setzen wir auf Einfachheit. Durch die Minimierung der Ausrüstung auf das Wesentliche reduzieren wir die Komplexität, verringern die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Störungen und minimieren den notwendigen Wartungsaufwand. Dieser Ansatz führt zu einer Yacht, die für den Eigner verständlich und überschaubar ist und speziell auf seine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist.

Vollständige 3D-Engineering

Unser vollständiges 3D-Engineering umfasst nicht nur das Interieur, sondern auch jedes Modul, das mit eigener Technik und Kabelbaum ausgestattet ist. Diese Module werden nahtlos in das Rückgrat der Yacht integriert und gewährleisten eine systematische und klare Konstruktion. Diese Methode garantiert übersichtliche technische Layouts und 100% Genauigkeit während der Montage.

Individuelle Anpassung

Jede YYacht wird individuell nach den speziellen Wünschen des Eigners gefertigt. Dank unseres modularen Interieur-Designs können einzelne Module genau auf die Kundenwünsche abgestimmt werden. Dies stellt sicher, dass keine zwei Yachten genau gleich sind und bietet ein wirklich maßgeschneidertes Segelerlebnis.

Erleben Sie die perfekte Kombination aus Leistung, Einfachheit und Personalisierung mit YYachts.

Y9 EXTERIEUR

Geschwindigkeit, große Innenräume und ein hochmoderner Look kennzeichnen unsere Y9.

Unsere brandneue Yacht ist dabei die logische Fortsetzung unserer Modelle Y7 und Y8. Die Entwicklung der Y9 wurde durch Kundenwünsche nach einer einfach zu segelnden und schnellen Yacht vorangetrieben, die eine kleine Crew benötigt und ein fantastisches Volumen besitzt.

Maßgeschneidert nach Ihrem Geschmack

Die Innenausstattung der Y9 kann nach dem individuellen Geschmack jedes Kunden gestaltet werden. Machen Sie die Y9 zu Ihrer ganz persönlichen Yacht und lassen Sie sich von den Entwürfen des preisgekrönten Studios Norm Architects aus Kopenhagen inspirieren. Unser hauseigenes Designteam koordiniert alle weiteren Wünsche, die Sie in Bezug auf Styling, Layout und Dekoration haben könnten. Mit der Y9 kaufen Sie eine echte Superyacht.

Entspannen Sie sich und genießen Sie die brandneuen Features der luxuriösen YYachts Y9 mit unserer 360° Ansicht

Ihre Y9. Ihr Layout.

Die Geräumigkeit einer 100-Fuß-Yacht konnte bei der Y9 auf 90 Fuß Länge erreicht werden, Grundlage dafür war das jahrelange Know-how in puncto Design und Konstruktion bei YYachts. Dem Eigner wird mit seinem eigenen Appartement ein Höchstmaß an Privatsphäre geboten; je nach Konfiguration stehen bis zu drei weitere Suiten für Gäste zur Verfügung. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die Gestaltung des Crewbereichs gelegt, denn eine ungeschriebene Regel im Yachting lautet „happ Crew, happy Eigner“.

Für die Y9 stehen verschiedene Grundrisse zur Verfügung, außerdem gibt es zahlreiche Optionen für die Inneneinrichtung. Das Team von YYachts wird mit jedem Eigner eng zusammenarbeiten, um die Innenausstattung zu personalisieren. Sie können selbstverständlich auch Ihren eigenen Innenarchitekten für das Projekt auswählen.
