YYachts engaged the noise consultants from Van Cappellen. ‘You sleep like a baby on board’, comments Dirk Zademack.
26 knots to Cannes On deck, the Y-flagship pleases with its sheer walkways and the division of the cockpit areas. Guests are accommodated in front while the crew works aft. The mainsheet is nowhere to be found. It is centred on the bimini top and hidden in the Park Avenuemain boom. To adjust or set the sails all it takes is the push of a button, which is why such a 29.7m cruiser can even be sailed by two people. Its performance potential is impressive: the hull speed is beyond 12 knots. The mainsail alonemeasures 242m2 of sail area, the upwind sailing area is 456m2
and the total sail area 1052m2. On the delivery passage, speeds of 26 knots were reached. FromGreifswald to Cannes took only 11 days, up to 240nmwere covered in 24 hours. A crew of four was necessary; in cruising and ownermode, two crew members – captain and stewardess – will usually be permanently on board.
Catamaran as tender According to the captain of Bella we should definitely take a look down at the stern. That's where the new dinghy would be, freshly arrived from the shipyard. The Y-tender stands on its steering wheel. Like the mother ship, it is built of carbon composite and weighs just 170kg at a length of 3.65m and 230kg at a length of 4.35m. Designed as a catamaran, the
Y-tender is stable in the water and its hydrodynamics make it very efficient under way. It is available with both a conventional outboard and an electric drive; both can be retracted, allowing the Y-tender to land directly on the beach. Its layout is designed to be flexible, as is the equipment. The Y-Tender's air hose can be emptied or filled in just 45 seconds. When empty, this reduces the width of the tender by 30cm, resulting in a better pack size. The necessary electric pumps are integrated into the Y-tender. The dinghy is built entirely in Germany, ensuring a high level of vertical integration. YYachts' keep-it-simple philosophy also applies here: a yacht must be reduced to what is necessary without restricting comfort.
