First look: YBreeze 75ft daysailer

YYachts' brand new YBreeze is a 75ft daysailer designed to be ultra clean, while still being fun and easy to sail... it certainly looks the part

Product Overview

YYachts has unveiled a fascinating new 75ft luxury daysailer concept, the YBreeze. It’s 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 right back to these very fundamental elements.

It 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 Y Breeze project in his YYachts office in Palma, Mallorca.

Designed by Cossutti, 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.

These bulwarks serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. Schmidt wanted the looks so clean that stanchions could be avoided. The bulwarks give the required safe height for a full walkaround deck. Further aft they help conceal the steering consoles when not in use. 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.

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 YYachts is devising its own removable sunbeds including gimballing versions for the aft deck, while 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 toy garage.

Light, inviting interior uses natural and recyled materials

75ft of instant fun

Ease of 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! “So you can call and say ‘in one hour I want to go sailing’ and the boat will be ready.”

YYachts 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,” Schmidt added.

The YB75 is designed to appeal to owners who have houses in the sailing playgrounds of Palma, Sardinia and St Tropez areas. Schmidt envisages multiple owners sharing a boat via an app.

Some yachts will always produce that instant spark of attraction. With others, the appeal may be slower burning, where facets…

He also believes this size is “the best way to show the sexy concept”. The YB75 is the largest project yet for the Italian designers and ORC specialists Cossutti. The sheerline is particularly clever: modern, bold and relatively straight it helps disguise the bulwarks and coachroof which extends so far forward.

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

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

He 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.

Play by day

While the interior does have cabins and berths, the expectation is that owners will not spend many nights aboard. Instead it will be used as a daysailer for fun cruising, racing and entertaining. Wendover’s Gabriel Chipperfield, whose father David designed the interior for the first YYachts Cool Breeze, has styled the YB75 with light, sustainable or natural materials, such as leather, timber, rattan and straw.

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

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

YYachts presents the new YBreeze 75 daysailer

YYachts presents the YBreeze 75 daysailer, a  solution to challenges faced by the sailboat industry. This innovative vessel combines the elegance of sailboats with the convenience of powerboats. Key features include a sporty performance, luxurious interior, advanced technology, and sharing possibilities. Customizable options ensure a unique sailing experience. Enjoy the future of sailing with the Y Breeze 75 from YYachts.

YYachts carefully selected the name “Breeze” for this sailing yacht to emphasize that it goes beyond being just a new model. Instead, it represents a new concept that revolutionizes how people experience and connect with the sea.

The naval architecture and the exterior design are made in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design. The exterior impresses with clean lines and gives the YB75 a sporty character.

Developed in collaboration with the Wendover Studio, the interior style is designed to guarantee an inviting, practical and elegant atmosphere. Materials are appropriately used, carefully detailed and coordinated to represent today’s luxury style people expect to feel at home. Of course, the style can be customized following clients’ preferences.

The stern platform of the YBreeze 75 folds out, making access to the water much easier than on other yachts. To enjoy the cockpit, the YB75 offers a galley coming up from the deck. It’s equipped with a sink, two fridges (one for drink/one for food) and a barbecue grill. The entire deck is designed as a safe walkaround, with no steps in between. In order to be able to head for shallower anchorages, the telescopic keel can reduce the draught to 2.50 metres.

Fenders are deployed via a special system and stowed on board to save space. On the lower deck, there will be a flexible layout with a saloon and different configurations for the guest cabin (daybed, two single beds or one double). A playroom for kids can also be installed. To enjoy the Mediterranean summer, the YBreeze 75 offers different options of sunbeds: stand-alone sunbeds or a box with inbuilt gimbaled sunbeds.

A good handicap makes the YBreeze 75 interesting for racing with a small crew (max 6) Water Ballast ensures good stability (big sail plan for performances) also with a small crew. The naval architect considered the major wind configuration in the most popular Mediterranean areas, The rating, in comparison with other boats looks very favourable.

The shipyard’s carbon footprint is continuously being reduced. We review all processes in order to produce as climate-neutrally as possible. For the YBreeze 75, we only use wood and panels that interior outfitters of larger mega yachts provide as surplus. For the construction of the yacht, we will use sustainable epoxy and numerous eco-friendly products and materials. The YB75 can be delivered with a diesel engine (120 hp) running on synthetic fuel or with an electric engine.

YYACHTS YBREEZE 75 - THE NEW ICONIC DAYSAILER FOR SPEED AND FUN

With the all-new YBREEZE 75 daysailer, we have created - in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design - what promises to be a whole new type of yacht. More a coastal speed machine than an offshore cruiser, this eye-catching 75-foot carbon-fibre craft has been designed for sailors who want to enjoy relaxing afternoons with friends or the excitement of a regatta.

ICONIC DESIGN

Inspired by the AC 75 America's Cup yachts of the early 2000s, the YBREEZE 75 is the first yacht in the world to feature opening hull wings for a larger aft platform. With the low coachroof almost invisible, the YBREEZE 75 boasts a very dynamic look, pointing towards its performance intentions. The sides stand out for their clean lines, with no pulpits or stanchions. As on a much larger yacht, guests can stroll comfortably around the entire deck area.

DESIGNED COMFORT

Spacious and airy below deck, the Y75 BREEZE offers the interior space of a traditional 70-foot luxury yacht with 3 cabins, 3 showers and 3 toilets, a beautifully designed galley and an impressive saloon. The cabin atmosphere is luxurious and light, resembling a high-end penthouse. On deck, your guests can swim from the aft platform, before enjoying a cool drink and grilled fish on the stainless steel grill that rises impressively out of the cockpit.

Designed and built for fun, as well as performance, the YBREEZE 75 allows guests to enjoy water sports equipment such as jet skis, surfboards and waterslides, all conveniently stored in the yacht's spacious garage. As an option, owners with smaller children or grandchildren can opt for a games room at the rear of the yacht.

SPORTING PERFORMANCE

If you're in the mood, the YBREEZE 75's competitive racing handicap rating, lightweight carbon fibre hull, powerful sail plan and dynamic water ballast make it possible to race competitively with a small crew of 6 or 7. The high aspect ratio torpedo keel and twin rudders make the Y75 BREEZE faster than a conventional 80-foot yacht. A displacement of 25.8 tonnes and 190 square metres of sail area means she sails effortlessly in the lightest Mediterranean breeze.

THE SIMPLICITY OF SAILING

Sailing the Y75 BREEZE is simple in the large cockpit, with all halyards, sheets and ropes concealed and leading aft. The high bulwark eliminates the need for stanchions and provides safe, dry sailing for guests in rough conditions. Electric push-buttons control the jib, self-tacking jib, mainsail and automatic furler for the code0 and gennaker. There is also an electric furling mainsail in the boom, while the hatches and companionway can be controlled remotely by smartphone.

OCEAN-FRIENDLY

To minimise the Y75 BREEZE's carbon footprint, we have invested in redesigning our yard in Greifswald, Germany, making all processes as sustainable as possible. For example, inside the boat, only veneers from exclusive furniture manufacturers are used and interior bulkheads are made from sustainable epoxy composites. To further reduce emissions, owners can choose between a zero-emission electric saildrive or a 100hp diesel saildrive running on synthetic fuel.

YBreeze 75 : A superlative daysailer from Greifswald

Michael Good

 ·  29.07.2023

The yacht, which is almost 23 metres long but only 5.60 metres wide and built entirely from carbon fibre, is not intended as a blue water vessel, but as a pure daysailer for relaxed afternoons on the water with friends. At least that's how the shipyard puts it in the project presentation.

The concept is brimming with special features, especially in terms of the design on deck. The most striking feature: a deep, continuous and stepless channel runs around the ship between the cabin superstructure and the bulwark, similar to large luxury motor yachts. A railing is no longer necessary with this walkaround. Aft, the deck is largely unobstructed and extends continuously on both sides up to the high bulwark, the sides of which can be folded down hydraulically at the rear. Together with the hydraulically extendable and lowerable bathing platform, this turns the aft deck into a huge playground in the anchor bay. In addition, numerous "toys" such as jet skis, surfboards and inflatable gadgets can be easily stored in the yacht's huge aft garage. What's more, a complete outdoor pantry with barbecue, fridge and sink retracts from the cockpit floor as if by magic at the touch of a button.

The design from Maurizo Cossutti's studio is also consistently geared towards strong performance under sail. This is reflected not only in the hull made entirely of carbon fibre, but also in the high and very sporty sail plan with carbon mast and self-tacking jib. A gennaker or a code zero is attached directly to the bow; surprisingly, a bowsprit is not provided. The YBreeze 75 can also be equipped with additional tanks for water ballast for even more potential in the wind. The tanks on the sides of the hull, which are filled with water on the windward side, hold around 1,000 litres. They are intended to compensate for the lack of weight of a crew of several people on the high side, and the shipyard can also reduce the amount of ballast in the keel. In addition to the fixed keel with lead bomb in two draught variants, the yacht can also be equipped with a telescopic keel on request. This enables a flexible draught of 2.50 metres to a maximum of 4.00 metres.

The concept implementation on deck focusses on simple handling for a small crew. All sheets, halyards and trim lines are led back to two large winch consoles in front of the helm stations, where they can be easily operated by the helmsman alone. And, of course, all the functions for trimming the sails can be operated electrically at the touch of a button.

As the customer wants. Almost anything is possible

When it comes to the interior, YYachts customers can decide for themselves how they want the boat to be fitted out and in what visual design. The shipyard provides various basic layouts for this, but can also cater for special requests. A standard layout provides for three very generously furnished double cabins with their own bathrooms, a huge galley and an impressive large saloon. The styling below deck was created by star designer Gabriel Chipperfield's Studio Wendover in London in collaboration with the shipyard's own design team.

YYachts was founded in 2015 by former Hanse boss Michael Schmidt to build the "Cool Breeze" for himself, a Brenta 80 yacht. The small series project Michael Schmidt Yachtbau has since grown into an internationally renowned shipyard that has managed to deliver no fewer than 41 yachts with lengths between 70 and 90 feet in just eight years. YYachts' current portfolio includes the Y7, the Y8 and the Y9, three types that are offered as part of semi-custom projects. The shipyard in Greifswald is now expanding the programme even further with the YBreeze 75 mega-daysailer. The keel of the new ship is expected to be laid soon. As you would expect, however, the management is keeping a low profile when it comes to announcing a possible price.

Yachts unveils its new daysailer project. It's the Y Breeze 75, 22.86 m in length, specially designed for the Mediterranean and featuring a clever cockpit to make the most of the anchorage.

A new concept for experiencing the sea

YYachts presents the Y Breeze 75 daysailer , a 22.86 m sailboat with a sleek, distinctive design. YYAchts, a German shipyard , builds carbon sailboats between 70 and 100 feet. The shipyard has chosen the name Breeze to emphasize the fact that this is not just a new model, but one of the world's most successful yachts "a new concept for experiencing the sea differently".

A distinctive design

The naval architecture and exterior design were created in collaboration with Cossuti Yacht Design. The YB75 has a sporty character, distinguished by a walkaround layout and a very low roof, level with the bulwarks. The slender, V-shaped bow is continued by inverted sheer deck lines. At the stern, tilting bulwarks create a large aft deck for increased comfort at anchor .

A cockpit to enjoy the anchorage

To make the most of the cockpit, the design team came up with an ingenious solution that preserves the flush deck while offering a host of comfort features. Flush hatches, concealed in the floor, house several elements, including a galley that unfolds with a sink, two fridges, one for drinks and one for food, and a barbecue. Step-free walkaround circulation makes it easy to move around the roof.

The telescopic keel reduces the draught to 2.50 meters, allowing you to head for shallower anchorages. The fenders are deployed via a special system and stowed on board to save space. To make the most of the Mediterranean summer, the YB75 offers a range of sunbathing options: sunbathing at berth or concealed in a locker, using the same system as the galley.

Customizable, uncluttered interior styling

Developed in collaboration with Wendover Studio, the interior styling is designed to ensure an inviting, practical and elegant atmosphere. The style remains customizable for each customer. The lower deck features a modular layout with a saloon and various guest cabin configurations: bench seat, two single beds or a double bed. A children's playroom is also available.

A yacht for short-handed sailing with a good rating

As far as sporting performance is concerned, a good handicap makes the YB75 interesting for short-handed racing, with a maximum crew of 6. Liquid ballasts should ensure good stability , and the large sail plan guarantees good performance, even with a reduced crew . The naval architect has considered the major wind patterns in the most popular areas of the Mediterranean to offer a favorable rating.

The YB75 is presented as easy to handle, with push-buttons for the mainsail , self-tacking jib and furling code 0 and gennaker. The YB75 can be supplied with a 120 hp diesel engine running on synthetic fuel , or with an electric motor .

A yacht designed for the Mediterranean

A special feature of this model is that all YBreeze 75s will be delivered to sailing destinations such as Mallorca, Ibiza, Costa Smeralda and Saint-Tropez with a crew member. Owners can share their boat in the area and reserve it via a dedicated app. This feature, included in the price, will enable owners to always find the boat ready before their arrival.

More environmentally-friendly materials

In terms of construction, the shipyard is working to reduce its carbon footprint. It has studied different construction processes, and has chosen to use only the surplus wood and panels used by megayacht outfitters. The yard will use environmentally-friendly products and materials.

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

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.

Y Yachts presents a new concept for sailing yachts, Y Breeze 75

Sailing boat

• Yacht industry

YYachts presents the Y Breeze 75 daysailer, a solution to challenges faced by the sailboat industry. This innovative vessel combines the elegance of sailboats with the convenience of powerboats. Key features include a sporty performance, luxurious interior, advanced technology, and sharing possibilities. Customizable options ensure a unique sailing experience. Enjoy the future of sailing with the Y Breeze 75 from YYachts.

YYachts carefully selected the name "Breeze" for this exceptional boat to emphasize that it goes beyond being just a new model. Instead, it represents a new concept that revolutionizes how people experience and connect with the sea.

Iconic Design The naval architecture and the exterior design are made in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design. The YB75 will be the first sailing yacht with fold-down bulwarks to create a large aft deck to increase comfort at anchor. The exterior impresses with clean lines and gives the YB75 a sporty character.

Developed in collaboration with the Wendover Studio, the interior style is designed to guarantee an inviting, practical and elegant atmosphere. Materials are appropriately used, carefully detailed and coordinated to represent today's luxury style people expect to feel at home. Of course, the style can be customized following clients' preferences.

Sharing and full service A sailing yacht needs more preparation time than a motorboat. All YBreeze 75 will be delivered in sailing spots like Mallorca, Ibiza, Costa Smeralda and Saint Tropez with a crew member. Owners can also share the boat in this area and, due to an app, they can book it. This feature, included in the price, will allow owners to find always the boat ready before their arrival. The sharing service can also be done by demand over YYachts organization.

Crafted comfort The stern platform of the YB75 folds out, making access to the water much easier than on other yachts. To enjoy the cockpit, the YB75 offers a galley coming up from the deck. It's equipped with a sink, two fridges (one for drink/one for food) and a barbecue grill. The entire deck is designed as a safe walkaround, with no steps in between. In order to be able to head for shallower anchorages, the telescopic keel can reduce the draught to 2.50 metres.

Fenders are deployed via a special system and stowed on board to save space. On the lower deck, there will be a flexible layout with a saloon and different configurations for the guest cabin (daybed, two single beds or one double). A playroom for kids can also be installed.

To enjoy the Mediterranean summer, the YB75 offers different options of sunbeds: stand-alone sunbeds or a box with inbuilt gimbaled sunbeds.

Fun at sea The YB75 is made for enjoying the sea in the summer. Not only while sailing but also when mooring in a bay – thanks to dedicated storage for toys and the foldable bulwarks to extend the deck space. For kids, there will be the option to convert a cabin into a game

Sporty performance A good handicap makes the YB75 interesting for racing with a small crew (max 6) Water Ballast ensures good stability (big sail plan for performances) also with a small crew. The naval architect considered the major wind configuration in the most popular Mediterranean areas, The rating, in comparison with other boats looks very favourable.

Sailing simplicity The YB75 is extremely easy to sail. There are pushbuttons for the main sail and self-tacking jib and furlers for Code O and Gennaker.

Ocean friendly The shipyard's carbon footprint is continuously being reduced. We review all processes in order to produce as climate-neutrally as possible. For the YB75, we only use wood and panels that interior outfitters of larger mega yachts provide as surplus. For the construction of the yacht, we will use sustainable epoxy and numerous eco-friendly products and materials. The YB75 can be delivered with a diesel engine (120 hp) running on synthetic fuel or with an electric engine.

This innovative vessel combines the elegance of a sailing yacht with the convenience of a powerboat. Its key features include sporty performance, a luxurious interior, advanced technology and sharing possibilities. A wide range of customisable options ensure a unique sailing experience.

YYachts carefully selected the name Breeze for this exceptional boat to emphasise that it goes beyond being just a new model. Instead, it represents a new concept that revolutionises how people experience and connect with the sea.

The naval architecture and the exterior design are made in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design. The YB75 is claimed to be the first sailing yacht with fold-down bulwarks to create a large aft deck to increase comfort at anchor.

The exterior impresses with clean lines and gives the YB75 a sporty character. Michael Schmidt, founder of YYachts, says: ‘YB75 is a yacht that is simply meant to be fun under sail and at anchor – we designed her so that our customers can simply concentrate on their leisure time.’

Developed in collaboration with Wendover Studio, the interior style is designed to guarantee an inviting, practical and elegant atmosphere. Materials are appropriately used, carefully detailed and coordinated to represent today’s luxury style.

People expect to feel at home of course, so the style can be customised following clients’ preferences. Co-founder of the studio is Gabriel Chipperfield, no less than the son of star architect David Chipperfield who was responsible for the interior of the very first YYacht.

Racing with small crew The stern platform of the YB75 folds out, making access to the water much easier than on many yachts. To enjoy the cockpit, the YB75 offers a galley coming up from the deck. It’s equipped with a sink, two fridges (one for drinks/one for food) and a barbecue grill. The entire deck is designed as a safe walk-around, with no steps in between. In order to be able to head for shallower anchorages, the telescopic keel can reduce the draught to 2.5m. Fenders are deployed via a special system and stowed on board to save space.

On the lower deck there will be a flexible layout with a saloon and different configurations for the guest cabin (daybed, two single beds or one double). A playroom for kids can also be installed. To enjoy the Mediterranean summer, the YB75 offers different options of sun beds: stand-alone sun beds or a box with built-in gimbaled sun beds.

A good handicap makes the YB75 interesting for racing with a small crew (max six) and water ballast ensures high stability (big sailplan for performance). The naval architect considered the major wind configuration in the most popular Mediterranean areas – the rating, in comparison with other boats looks very favourable.

The YB75 is also extremely easy to sail. There are pushbuttons for the mainsail and self-tacking jib and furlers for code zero and gennaker.

Cossutti explains…

The design of the YBreeze 75 is truly unique. In her simplicity we’ve managed to incorporate a complete walk-around deck, a “hidden” coachroof, a social area with sofa and dining table and a huge lounge area with a beach club at the stern.

The style of the boat is defined by the port and starboard sheer lines that run all along the hull and meet at the stem, which is neither vertical nor reverse, it is just the arched Y-Yachts style.

The nature of the bulwark makes it possible to integrate two folding terraces which, together with the bathing platform, create a unique access to the sea, all surrounded by couches and sunbeds to enjoy the sea. Thanks to the generous toy garage it is possible to enjoy the sea from every perspective with space for a jet-ski, SeaBobs, paddle boards and lots of other equipment to support every passion.

The spatial equations between the exterior and interior spaces have been redefined to enhance life on deck, making her the best place to enjoy Mediterranean living. The central cockpit galley creates the right atmosphere to bring people together and have fun at sunset.

On the other hand the interiors, designed by Wendover’s partners, can fit every need. The boat has a three-cabin and three-heads layout with a galley and saloon, plus the option of a multi-purpose children’s playroom and crew cabin.

We have studied the weather conditions of the main sailing events in the Mediterranean over the past year and have tailored the hull lines for medium to low wind speeds, resulting in a hull shape with a low wetted area and narrow width, which contributes to the overall slenderness of the design.

The boat has been designed to be easy to sail, even with a reduced crew. She offers a basic sail package consisting of square-top main, large self-tacking jib and code zero, to which a gennaker can be also added if needed for race purposes. All sail control lines are led to the pit winches, which are easy to operate without disturbing the guests on board.

The lifting keel, together with the double rudder, is the perfect equipment to reach almost any place without losing the pleasure of a real sailing session, but it is also possible to choose a fixed, high-performance 4.2m keel. All in all, we think that the YB75 fits perfectly into the YYachts motto: look good, sail easy!

Ocean friendly construction The shipyard’s carbon footprint is constantly being reduced. YYachts reviews all processes in order to produce boats as climate-neutrally as possible. For the YB75, they only use wood and panels that interior outfitters of larger mega yachts provide as surplus. For the construction of the yacht, the shipyard will use sustainable epoxy and numerous eco-friendly products and materials.

The hull will be laminated in a female mould to achieve the shape defined by the naval architect and reduce to a minimum the fairing and the related additional weight. To achieve a maximum strength/light displacement ratio, the hull is made in a sandwich construction with Corecell M foam. The hull outer and inner skin and the inner structure will be built exclusively in carbon for maximum stiffness and weight saving.

The fibres will be impregnated with a high-performance epoxy laminating system and post-cured at a high temperature to exploit the fibre properties to the maximum. All bulkheads and internal structures are made in carbon/ epoxy sandwich, vacuum consolidated. The epoxy is sustainable and fire resistant. For more strength and better load distribution there are additional carbon fibre reinforcements around doors, cutouts and cable penetrations.

Always available All YBreeze 75s will be delivered in sailing spots in Spain, France and Italy with a dedicated captain. Owners can also share the boat in this area and, using an app, they can book it. This feature, included in the price, will allow owners to always find the boat ready before their arrival. The sharing service can also be arranged on demand via the YYachts organisation.

Michael Schmidt says: ‘My credo has always been to reduce yachts to what is necessary without neglecting comfort. With the Y75, we have now developed a concept that even aligns the use of the yacht with this principle. This will also appeal to younger customers who are growing up with the sharing economy.‘

Victims of Sicily Yacht Tragedy Formally Identified, Authorities Say Some Were Searching for Air Pockets in Final Moments

On Saturday, Aug. 24, Sicilian authorities held a press conference where the seven victims of the yacht sinking were identified

Abigail Adams is a Human Interest Writer and Reporter for PEOPLE. She has been working in journalism for seven years.

FAMILY HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock

The seven victims who died after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily have been formally identified.

At a press conference on Saturday, Aug. 24, Termini Imerese prosecutor, Ambrogio Cartosio, shared more information on the tragedy and named the bodies that had been recovered. That included chef Recaldo Thomas and the six other victims recovered in the days after the yacht sank on Aug. 19. He also confirmed that the final body recovered on Friday, Aug. 23 was that of  Hannah Lynch , daughter of the British tech entrepreneur,  Mike Lynch .

"On the 22nd [of August] we recovered the body of Michael Lynch, and on the 23rd we recovered the body of his 18-year-old daughter. Michael Lynch's daughter is a young girl, who really affected everybody. It’s a very serious tragedy," Cartosio said.

He also said that on Aug, 22, authorities recovered the bodies of prominent New York City attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda , and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy .

Family Handout/PA Wire

Girolamo Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo Fire Bridgade, spoke at the press conference and shared details of the final moments of some of the victims and where they were recovered.

“It was quite clear that people were trying to hide in the cabins. In the left-hand side we found the first 5 bodies in the left-hand side cabins, and the final body on the right-hand side. We found them on the highest part of the ship which was closer to the surface. The vessel had three cabins on each side.”

He also said that the five who "took refuge in the cabins on the left side of the sailboat," had been "searching for air pockets."

Recaldo Thomas/Facebook

Lynch, 59, was acquitted of fraud and conspiracy charges just two months before he went missing. Morvillo, also 59, worked on the case, and Bloomer, 70, was a close friend to Lynch.

A source close to the survivors tells PEOPLE passengers on the yacht were celebrating Lynch’s recent acquittal when the storm hit.

Morvillo had previously worked as a federal prosecutor and "assisted in the criminal investigation arising out of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks," among other trials, according to his biography on the Clifford Chance website. His wife was said to be a fine jewelry designer.

"We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident," a spokesperson for the lawfirm says in a statement to PEOPLE.

"Our thoughts are with our Partner, Christopher Morvillo, and his wife Neda who are among the missing, and with their families," the spokesperson adds.

The Italian coast guard previously said 22 people were on the Bayesian , including 12 passengers and 10 crew, when the ship sank. Fifteen people were rescued, including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares.

Eight people were reportedly taken to local hospitals after they were rescued.

Local news reports stated the body of a chef , Thomas, was found near the boat shortly after the storm subsided.

Five bodies found on sunken luxury yacht off coast of Sicily

Three body bags were seen being taken to the port of porticello on wednesday..

Five bodies have been found inside the wreck of a luxury yacht that sank in a storm off the coast of Sicily.

Three body bags were seen being taken to the port of Porticello on Wednesday afternoon following the sinking of the yacht at around 5am on Monday.

The head of Sicily’s civil protection agency Salvatore Cocina said that four bodies had been recovered and efforts to bring a fifth to shore were “ongoing”.

He said there will be an investigation in due course, but the priority was to find those who are still missing.

As the three body bags were taken back to the port of Porticello, dozens of emergency services staff were waiting, and one was seen being put in the back of an ambulance.

The Italian Coastguard previously did not rule out the possibility that those missing, including technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, may still be alive, with experts speculating air pockets could have formed as the yacht sank.

Among those also missing are Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Inspections of the yacht’s internal hull took place on Wednesday morning.

A team of four British inspectors from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) also arrived in Porticello to look at the site of the sinking.

The MAIB is looking into what happened because the yacht Bayesian was flying a British flag, it is understood.

The Italian Coastguard said the MAIB is not involved in the search for the missing people, and that it has not been requested to assist.

A helicopter was drafted in to help the search effort, as divers from the local fire service were seen entering the water with torches attached to their headgear.

A police boat and divers were also seen entering the water on Wednesday afternoon.

Fire crews from the Vigili del Fuoco said they have been accessing the vessel through natural entrances, without making openings.

Remotely controlled underwater vehicles are being used, with naval units and cave divers also taking part in the search, the Italian Coastguard has said.

Bayesian was moored around half a mile off the coast of Porticello when it sank at about 5am local time on Monday as the area was hit by a storm.

Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coastguard, previously said the missing tourists are feared dead.
