YYachts new Y8: More volume, more performance

For the new Y8, the YYachts design and development team based in Palma de Mallorca 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. Surge designs have won many trophies, and the studio has developed such interesting yachts as "Win Win" or the "Café Racer".

In contrast to the previous Y8, the new model has a wider stern, so in combination with the mast set further back, Javier Jaudenes predicts high speed potential for his design: "The new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe her as a good-mood yacht."

The interior volume of the yacht is 20 percent larger than that of its predecessor. This results in many different layout options: The owner's suite including a separate saloon can be located either in the bow or in the stern with direct access to the cockpit, three or four cabins can be fitted. By moving the engine room below the saloon floor, the yacht gets a lower centre of gravity and thus a better balance, which results in additional speed.

The first owner of the new Y8 will enjoy his yacht in the Med already this summer as three additional customers who will take over their YYacht at our shipyard. Some of the yachts will be seen at boat shows, some you will meet at sea.

Happy sailing everybody!
