First look: Y Yachts’ Y Breeze – a 75ft daysailer? (sold with crew included!)

• June 22, 2023

A brand new 75ft 'luxury daysailer' concept, the Y Breeze YB75, has been unveiled by Michael Schmidt’s Y-Yachts. Toby Hodges got an exclusive chat to the design team behind this radical luxury yacht

Y-Yachts has unveiled a fascinating new 75ft luxury daysailer concept, the Y Breeze.

Y-Yachts founder Michael Schmidt, the veteran racing sailor, industry pioneer and former Hanse Yachts owner, is known for his innovation, particularly with a focus on making yachts simple, fun and approachable. The YBreeze YB75 strips things back to that – right back.

The YB75  is designed to be ultra clean and easy to sail. The sale of each boat will even include a crewmember to ensure it’s always ready for that quick sunset sail.

“For the last 30 years the number of powerboats have been increasing. Now it’s time to go back to sailing – with something eco and cool,” Schmidt told us at the announcement of the YBreeze project in his Y-Yachts office and home in Palma, Mallorca.

Designed by Cossutti Yacht Design, with an interior described as exclusive luxury by Gabriel Chipperfield’s Studio Wendover, the YB75 is reminiscent of some of the iconic Wally Yachts. Indeed the high bulwarks echo that of the 43m Esense .

High bulwarks create a very clean aesthetic while allowing for a safe, protected, walk around deck on the YBreeze

These bulwarks serve both aesthetical and practical purposes. Schmidt wanted the looks so clean that even stanchions could be avoided. The bulwarks give the required safe height for a full walkaround deck.

Further aft these bulwarks help conceal the steering consoles when not in use. And then, towards the transom, we see a feature adopted by powerboats of late: the bulwarks fold out like wings to create a vast sunbathing deck. The YB75 will be the first sailing yacht to feature such a system.

As well as looking ultra clean, the aim of the YB75 is to offer the comfort of a comparable powerboat. So while the decks are devoid of lines and clutter, a galley unit can rise up from below the deck. And Y-Yachts is devising its own standalone removable sunbeds including gimballing versions for the aft deck. Removable or fixed biminis can also cover this area.

A glance at the accommodation plan will show there is no interior space in the aft third of the boat, but instead a large garage for toys and dive gear.

75ft of instant fun

Making the boat easy to use is so important when comparing to the power market, believes Schmidt (and he knows from his experience with Fjord motor yachts) – hence crew will be included in the price!

“Each boat we sell we’ll sell with a crewmember,” Schmidt explained. “So you can call and say ‘in one hour I want to go sailing’ and the boat will be ready.”

Y-Yachts is even studying fenders that can automatically deploy and inflate. “We’re trying to avoid the hassle of having to ‘prepare and de-prepare a sailboat,” said Schmidt.

“We saw people buying power but getting bored quickly,” commented Y-Yachts head of design Francesca Modica. “The challenge was to make such a dayboat a sail boat.”

The YBreeze is designed to be allow owners to get off the dock quickly for fun, simple sailing

The YB75 is designed to appeal to owners who have houses in the sailing playgrounds of Palma, Sardinia and St Tropez areas. An app will not only be used to control the boat but Schmidt envisages it allowing multiple owners to share a boat.

Why this size? I asked. “It’s the best way to show the sexy concept – 55ft is too small I think… it’s a toy not an explorer,” he replied.

The YB75 is the largest project yet for the Italian designers and ORC specialists Cossutti, who first discussed Schmidt’s latest brainchild with him in September last year. The sheerline is particularly clever: modern, bold and actually relatively straight it helps disguise the bulwarks and coachroof which extends so far forward.

After analysing the type of Med sailing location the prospective owner will use, typically the Balearics/Costa Smerelda/south France, Cossutti found that 90% of the time the wind averages around 10 knots. So they chose a narrow hull with a low wetted surface.

“The idea is to have fun without needing many people on board, hence the water ballast,” Maurizio Cossutti explained. A tonne of water ballast will offset the need for lots of weight in the keel or crew on the rail.

Cossutti calculates that the YB75 will be competitive with a Maxi 72, yet can be handled on a race track by a crew of six as opposed to a team typically three times that size.

In some senses the interior design is a revisit by Gabriel Chipperfield (of Wendover Studio) of the interior his father David did for Schmidt’s first yacht, Cool Breeze . It’s an adaptable space, and while there are berths the expectation is not that owners will spend many nights aboard, instead using it as a daysailer for fun cruising, racing and entertaining.

“We wanted people to go inside and stay inside, not be depressed by it,” Chipperfield said at the project’s unveiling. He has chosen light, sustainable or natural materials, such as leather, timber, rattan and straw. The timber will be surplus material from outfitters of mega yachts.

YBreeze sustainable build

Y-Yachts has placed a strong focus on sustainability for YBreeze. It has already incorporated electric drives in its boats, but Schmidt believes synthetic diesel would be better in terms of carbon footprint for the YB75.

Y-Yachts is also working with a Spanish firm on using their green epoxy which can reportedly be separated and burned after use. And the innovative yard has already spent 18 months investigating ways to avoid moulds with composite yacht manufacturing – stay tuned for more on that and this intriguing project as details are released.

ESSENCE OF ALL EXPERIENCE

For the Y8, the follow-up model to the first ever YYacht, our 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.

In contrast to the previous Y8, 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 Y8. 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.

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.

By the way, the interior volume of the yacht is 20 percent larger than that of her predecessors “Cool Breeze”, “Makai” or “Vegas Baby” – this results in many different layout options. And by moving the engine room under the saloon floor, the yacht has a lower centre of gravity and thus a better balance, which results in additional speed.

Discover YYachts unparalleled performance and simplicity

Lightweight Carbon Construction

YYachts’ innovative use of lightweight carbon construction offers unparalleled advantages. Sail swiftly even in light winds thanks to the reduced weight, which also lowers the loads on the mast and deck fittings. This design allows for easier handling by a short-handed crew, ensuring a seamless sailing experience.

Keep it Simple

At YYachts, we believe in simplicity. By minimizing equipment to only the essentials required on board, we reduce complexity, decrease the likelihood of malfunctions, and minimize necessary maintenance. This approach results in a yacht that is understandable and manageable for the owner, tailored specifically to their needs.

Full 3D Engineering

Our full 3D engineering encompasses not only the interior but also each module, which is equipped with its own technology and wiring harness. These modules are seamlessly integrated into the yacht’s backbone, ensuring systematic and clear engineering. This method guarantees transparent technical layouts and 100% accuracy during assembly.

Individual Customization

Each YYacht is uniquely crafted to meet the specific desires of its owner. Thanks to our modular interior design, individual modules can be precisely tailored to customer preferences. This ensures that no two yachts are exactly the same, providing a truly bespoke sailing experience.

Experience the perfect blend of performance, simplicity, and personalization with YYachts.

Y8 EXTERIOR

The current Y8 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.

HARMONIOUS, INDIVIDUAL AND FLOODED WITH LIGHT

The interior of a Y8 can be individually designed for each owner. With its soft edges and coachroof, and flooded with natural light, the Y8 has a relaxing atmosphere.

YOUR Y8. YOUR LAYOUT

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. 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.

This Carbon Sailing Yacht Is 70 Feet of Seafaring Luxury

Own the ocean in high style.

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Share on Pinterest

Germany’s YYachts (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) combined the extreme comfort with competitive sailing performance in its newest model: the Y7. 

The Ladebow-based watercraft company teamed up with world-renowned naval architect Bill Tripp to design the swanky ship. 

Thanks to 300 square meters of canvas and a total weight of 29 tons—on the light side, by yachting standards—the 70-foot-long vessel can sail in even the slightest of wind without firing up the dual, 75-horsepower Volvo Penta engines. 

Despite its formidable size, the Y7 can also be manned by one helmsman at any given time, as all halyards, sheets and stretchers can be controlled with the steering columns. 

The deck is arranged like a home patio, with two weatherproof, five-person couches positioned across from on another and two modern wood tables in between. In the rear, a jet ski or other water toy up to 11 feet in length can be launched from the garage with help from the carbon fiber mast.  

But when its time to drop anchor, a totally modular gallery offers a luxurious indoor retreat with a “Scandinavian-warm” atmosphere. 

A living room, kitchenette, master bedroom, guest bedroom and bathroom can be configured in five different floor plans, each of which feature with high-quality smoked or bleached oak wood fittings developed by Milanese and Copenhagen craftsmen. 

If you’re interested in looking more closely at the Y7, visit YYachts’ website to take a virtual tour or commission your own.

BELLA // Y7 // Y Yachts

Bella is the first unit of the y7 by y/yachts aka michael schmidt yachtbau, delivered to the owner..

The exterior design and naval architecture of the Y7 come from Bill Tripp , who is known for fast sailing yachts. The goal of the development of the 22-meter yacht was to create a fast sailing yacht that can compete at regattas but cruising and living with much comfort.

When there is no wind or the yacht docks in the marina, two 59 kW diesel engines by Nanni and a bow thruster assist. Joystick control makes this very easy.

A tender with a length of 3.45 meter is in the garage aft – a patented crane system integrated into the boom moves the tender into the water.

Interior of BELLA

Norm Architects from Copenhagen have designed the interior. Usually experienced in residential and furniture design, BELLA is the first yacht interior design of the studio.

The Y7 is available in different layouts ; the owner of this unit chose two guest cabins and one crew cabin aft. The owner cabin is at the bow area.

The base price of the Y7 is EUR 1.820.000.
