Reduced to her essentials
Transferred to yacht building, this means: You have to be able to operate a yacht intuitively and without much effort, so a great many details and processes have to be thought through and simplified in advance. The decades of yacht building experience of YYachts founder Michael Schmidt and his team therefore resulted in the brand's guiding principle: "The art is to reduce a yacht to the essentials without compromising on comfort."
A yacht from YYachts should sail fast, be seaworthy and easy to understand, and give its owner pleasure. In our opinion, this is the only way to preserve the fun of the original.
Our "Keep it simple and safe" philosophy:
- For greater safety, we limit the number of seacocks in the hull and make sure they are easy to reach.
- We avoid superfluous and overly complicated hydraulic systems to ensure ease of operation and maintenance.
- You can adjust a sail in an infinite number of ways. But you can also just adjust it.
- The lighter the yacht, the lower the load on the boat. The lighter the load on the boat, the less likely it is to break.
- Halyards and sheets are within easy reach in one central location, making all manoeuvres easy and simple.
- The installation of two engines increases the reliability of the boat and makes mooring manoeuvres easier. Two independent alternators charge the batteries better, so the generator is sometimes not needed.
- The electronics are based on the CZone system, which is connected to a data transponder and thus to our technicians. We can repair faults remotely - no matter where you are in the world.
- YYachts uses sandwich composites for the construction of the internal structures. They guarantee excellent sound insulation and help eliminate vibrations on board. At the same time, the weight is significantly reduced so as not to compromise the boat's performance.
This is just an excerpt from a list of numerous features that we at YYachts have rethought and adapted to our vision. YYachts is synonymous with simplicity of use, functionality and aesthetic design. This does not mean minimal design, but a great attention to aesthetics, living space and functionalities on board.
We aim to build lighter and more efficient boats even in the light wind conditions typical of the Mediterranean. Fewer components on board as well as ensuring ease of operation are equally important, reducing maintenance costs and repair work to a minimum.
After all, the luxury of always being able to set sail without worrying and being self-sufficient is priceless!
