yacht y7

EASY TO SAIL distinct simplicity

Y7 - easy to sail distinct simplicity.

A displacement of about only 29 tons and 300 square meters of sail area, set this almost 22 meter, 70 foot, long yacht in motion even in the lightest of winds. Her good ballast ratio keeps her very stable, so that a Y7 is extremely pleasant to sail. This luxury yacht was designed for family vacations as it can be operated with a very small crew or even alone. Easy handling combined with excellent performance and an interior completely tailored to the owner has made the Y7 a bestseller in the YYachts portfolio.

The new interior of the Y7

Timeless and maritime.

We have once again revised and optimized the interior of our popular Y7. The current Y7 already shows these details: The doors to all rooms now have rounded corners and thus a very maritime shape, as do almost all upholstered surfaces. The color tones are dominated by light fabrics and woods, giving the interior a timeless and modern touch.

Sailing Faster

A Y7 is much faster than a conventional 65 or 70 foot yacht. Our goal is to experience sailing fun in the Mediterranean with light winds.

Easy Handling

All halyards, sheets and trimming lines run concealed to the steering positions - so the helmsman can operate the Y7 alone at any time.

Proven Technology

YYachts only uses components that have proven themselves hundreds of times. Days lost due to vulnerable technology are a no-go on this luxury 70 foot carbon yacht.

Light-weight Construction

By using carbon fiber and lightweight construction material in the interior, we achieve a high sail area/displacement ratio.

Variable Layout

Due to the modular construction, the layout can be adapted to the wishes of the owner. Among other things, you can decide with our designers which wooden surface you desire.

Y Yachts’ Y7 review: This powerful carbon cruiser is guaranteed to excite

• Toby Hodges
• March 5, 2020

Michael Schmidt’s powerful new Y7 combines genius ideas with a keep-it-simple theme, says Toby Hodges

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

What is your idea of simple sailing? To a wooden yacht enthusiast it may be the pleasure of hand hoisting and trimming sails via block and tackle alone, where an owner of a modern glassfibre yacht might baulk at the amount of upkeep timber demands and prefer the ease of push button sailing.

Others might look back whimsically to their youth and the joy of simply dragging a dinghy down the beach and sailing without any maintenance or financial woes.

Michael Schmidt ’s latest creation is his solution to simple sailing at the luxury end of the scale. The decorated sailor who founded Hanse Yachts believes in a keep-it-simple philosophy with his models, which you may find hard to believe when looking at this new 70-footer and the levels of technical complexity that must lie beneath its carbon fibre/epoxy skins.

But having sailed the Y7 in precisely the light wind conditions for which it was designed, and felt the thrill of helming a perfectly balanced, potent and contemporary fast cruiser, I can vouch that it does have a theme of simplicity, which becomes dangerously enticing.

“Sailing fun is made possible by a simple ship that has been reduced to the bare essentials without sacrificing comfort,” Schmidt believes. We’re not talking a yacht stripped to engineless minimalism here. The Y7 is, to all intents and purposes, a scaled-down superyacht , which has been kept approachable, performance-oriented and comparatively easy to manage.

I quote Schmidt not simply because he is the founder of the company, but because he is a veteran boatbuilder, sailor and visionary of the industry. Having built up and then sold Hanse Yachts, and extensively cruised its largest model at the time, the 630e, he searched fruitlessly for a larger, lighter boat that could better harness the softer breezes typically found in the Mediterranean.

From the eye-catching paintjob to the novel deck design, to the sensational interior and the full carbon build, the Brenta…

Advanced Yachts A80: Lightweight luxury cruiser can sail in the lightest breeze

A multitude of shiny new yachts drifted across the Bay of Cannes, like a painting of a seascape reflected in…

Michael Schmidt Yachtbau, now Y Yachts, is the brand of luxury carbon cruisers he created, a German firm that aims to use the best technology available to simplify the sailing. Schmidt also believes a yacht needs aesthetics that will distinguish it from the pack.

This philosophy underpinned his first model, the Brenta 80 (now Y8). Schmidt has since cruised that test boat, Cool Breeze , thousands of miles. And while many reportedly liked that concept and design style, they found it too large for their needs.

‘A 70ft yacht you can sail alone’ became Y Yachts’ target. The result is a fast cruiser with no backstay(s), a self-tacking jib and winches and lines that fall to the hand of the helmsman.

The design echoes the style of the Y8 and sees Schmidt maintain his penchant for high topsides (from his Hanse days), combined with a flat, low coachroof. Schmidt doesn’t like having to rely on crew and typically sails two-up.

Nevertheless the beamy and voluminous Y7 includes a crew cabin within the interior (rather than stuffed in the forepeak), with private access to the cockpit.

Bill Tripp was tasked with targeting lightweight performance to ensure the boat would offer enjoyable sailing in single figure windspeeds. A key attribute of the Y7 is that it shouldn’t need to motor in light airs.

That said, it can motor very efficiently thanks to the inclusion of two engines; Schmidt values low fuel consumption, good manoeuvrability and systems redundancy.

Carbon construction

Carbon sandwich construction with an epoxy outer skin results in a moderate/light displacement of 29 tonnes and a good balance of impact protection and noise control. Although Schmidt built some of the earliest carbon race yachts, he now subcontracts hull and deck moulding to specialist lamination yards in Poland and Slovenia, then fitting out in his new 3,000m 2 facility in Greifswald.

The structural work and finish of the first Y7, Bella , is certainly to a high standard, and the sub-€2m starting price for this 70ft carbon composite cruiser explains the appeal of the new design and demand to see it in action. The second hull has been handed over, the third is in build and the yard is now set up to produce one boat every four months.

The Y7 has similar styling and features to the Y8, including the high freeboard and low, flat coachroof. Photo: Nico Krauss

The price is a significant factor. The Y7 represents is a lot of carbon yacht for the money. At this price point, potential buyers might be tempted to compare it to a large semi-production cruiser such the CNB 76 or Euphoria 68 . However, those who are looking for comparable performance would need to look at lighter composite yachts – and the Swan 65 , for example, costs another €1m.

Simply seductive

Bella certainly looked very much at home nestled among the superyachts at Port Adriano marina in Mallorca. The flat coachroof was adorned with sunbeds and a table and chairs were set up on its large flush foredeck.

The large bimini shading it hung from the mast, forestay and shrouds – a clever idea to use the foredeck to create a shaded area away from dock. Bella also has a removable cockpit bimini, mounted on four carbon posts.

When sail trialling a yacht, you always hope to get the type of conditions for which it is primarily designed. I favour moderate winds to ensure I can get a proper feel for the boat. So I did fret a little as we motored out of the marina and met a sloppy sea and a gentle breeze.

However, that long afternoon and evening we spent under sail proved perfect for demonstrating the Y7’s capabilities, and particularly for appreciating its ability to be able to keep on sailing in light winds.

In just 10 knots of breeze, typical midsummer Mediterranean conditions, we were already heeled and powered-up, sailing at 8-8.5 knots. The modern, beamy hull shape, with a long waterline and generous sail area, all help produce such speeds. The sail area to displacement ratio is a huge 33.4, a figure that confirms this design’s significant power aloft. Consequently, she will need to be reefed early.

Lines are led under deck to winches fore and aft of the wheels. This shows the starboard aft winch with shorepower connections below. Photo: Nico Krauss

The square-top fully battened mainsail has 184m 2 of sail area alone, which could be a lot to handle without sufficient crew. An upgrade to the winch package would be on my option list, as it took an age to hoist this sail from the lazyjacks.

However, the helmsman feels the benefit of this sailpower immediately. Tacking the boat is an addictive, one-person affair. The 30° sweptback spreaders avoid the need for a backstay, and allow the use of a self-tacking jib.

We found more breeze once out into the bay and continued our beat west away from the island. The outboard position of the wheel pedestals helps give the helmsman clear views over the flat, low coachroof.

The huge aft deck raises on struts to reveal an enormous watertight garage for a 3.45m RIB, which is launched using a carbon pole off the boom’s aft end. The design allows the garage to remain sealed when the swim platform is lowered. Photo: Nico Krauss

The helm is generally light, as you’d expect with twin rudders, but with a pleasant increase in weatherhelm when the boat heels and powers up. There is also plenty of grip from these rudders, which are positioned relatively far outboard.

It is less comfortable for crew, however. Such is the beam aft (over 18ft) that it can feel unnerving to cross the cockpit or to stay seated to windward when at a high heeling angle. Comparable yachts of this size tend to have a mainsheet winch plinth with rails or a support/crash bar between the wheels. Y Yachts says it can offer the latter, which is an option I’d certainly recommend.

The long cockpit with split tables has room for eight to sit around, with more space on the large aft-facing seats. The portside seat has access to the crew quarters neatly integrated beneath. The aluminium frames that form the backrests for the cockpit seats are freestanding of the coamings, a clear indication that this boat is aimed at warm weather sailing.

Push button reaching

I thought the Y7 might be all about the upwind sailing experience, keeping the apparent windspeed up and heel on, but then we hoisted a Code 0 for the long reach back.

At the push of another pedestal button, an electric furler fitted in the end of the bowsprit unleashed an enormous amount of sail (acquired, it transpired, from a Maxi 72). With this code sail set, we picked up pace and were able to match the 7-11 knot wind speeds all the way home.

The single point mainsheet is led forward to the mast and aft to one winch. This arrangement, together with the other sheets and halyards, results in a mass of rope tails in the cockpit. Unusually (and commendably), there are generous-sized rope tail lockers between the winches to keep all these lines from getting too unruly.

The deck is stepped in line with where the guest cockpit meets the sailing cockpit, so there is easy access out onto the sidedecks. Here, the double guardrails reduce to single rails to meet the bulwark and pushpit.

This low rail invites the helmsman to sit right out to leeward and enjoy the clear views forward. However, the wide-open aft deck and low rail do little to promote a secure feeling if you are in the sailing cockpit.

Nevertheless, as I perched to leeward, and with a light hand on the wheel, the sailing was truly memorable, and we footed along effortlessly under the Code sail.

Two engines

The Y7 certainly has a slippery hull design – so much so that it was only as we approached the marina that I remembered that the Y7 is fitted with two shaft-drive propellers. Twin Nanni engines were chosen as they are simple to repair, with few electronics, and their relatively small size means the saloon sole and thus coachroof can be kept low and streamlined.

However, problems with the installation on this first boat resulted in unacceptable noise levels, an issue the yard now reports has been resolved. It says all future models will have saildrives.

Under power, the boat doesn’t quite spin on a point like a catamaran – the props are quite close together – but the twin engines certainly aid manoeuvrability and mean that you are much less reliant on the bowthruster.

Below decks, the styling matches the impressive look of the exterior, and is akin to a designer apartment. In Bella ’s case, it was customised specially for Michael Schmidt. Hull number two is said to have a much lighter, less masculine trim.

Schmidt was inspired by modern architectural designs he saw in Copenhagen, and this is reflected in the feel of the finish, from the choice of fabrics, to the lighting and overall interior shapes.

Smart thinking and styling

Multiple layout options are offered including three or four cabins, and the choice of a central transverse galley or passageway galley aft. Abaft the aft port cabin is a clever, if super-compact, crew cabin, which contains two bunks at right angles to each other, a heads and private access to the sailing cockpit.

The semi-raised saloon creates the impression of a huge space. The yacht’s large beam accentuates this by exposing the curves and structures of hull sides. On the test boat the saloon has a wide-open space extending as far as the galley, sited amidships. To help you traverse it, there are sliding leather grabhandles on the deckhead for when moving about.

I like the use of vertical glass coachroof windows, which let in plenty of light without producing too much heat, but to provide better ventilation I would prefer to have more opening portholes and some coachroof hatches.

The galley is relatively compact and is open along the centreline, a layout that is perhaps not ideally suited to life at heel. That said, it boasts a large area of fiddled work surfaces and generous amounts of refrigerated stowage, and the yard does offer the option of a larger, enclosed galley aft, which connects through to the crew accommodation.

A central island berth in the forward cabin suggests this, too, is designed more for use in port than at sea. Hull number two has an offset berth here, which will be more practical at sea.

The Y7 is undeniably a lovely yacht to spend time aboard and one that can be handled with relative ease. The ‘keep it simple’ philosophy is felt mostly in the sailing, trimming and manoeuvring. The helmsman can easily manage lines and controls from the wheel – though would need help with setting, stowing and reefing sails. From the design of the tender garage, the installation of twin engines to a myriad of neat fixtures and fittings, the Y7 is packed with novel ideas, all born out of Michael Schmidt’s enormous experience. Below decks the Y7 feels as much like a luxury apartment as a yacht, and the style can be customised to suit an owner. I loved the exterior and interior design of Bella, although I think the layout is more set up for use at rest than at sea. The contemporary styling is bound to divide opinion. But the Y7 boasts superyacht quality at a size that is properly rewarding to sail. This powerful yacht boasts a level of performance that is guaranteed to excite.

CRUISING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND RACING FAST

Bill Tripp’s Y 7 bears a signature of the most internationally recognized. The design focus for the Y7 has been on marine and comfortable sailing behaviour combined with performance capable of shining in international racing circuits. Y 7 is a boat that one can travel the world and get great satisfaction on the racing course.

A displacement of only 29 tons and almost 300 of upwind sail area that becomes 700 downwind, guarantee performance and fun sailing even in lightest winds. The yacht is made of carbon and is also equipped with a carbon mast and boom as standard. To complete her extreme manageability, twin engines have been designed for trouble-free manoeuvring even in small ports.

“The Y7 is full of innovations and at the same time, pared back to the essentials. An owner”, says shipyard founder Michael Schmidt, “should be able to operate their yacht intuitively. It should not be too complex but comfortable at the same time. The Y7 achieves all this and more”.

Exterior design

Bill Tripp has created a unique design for Y 7 that is full of interesting solutions. The jib, anchor and manoeuvring positions are elegantly embedded in the exterior look. A tender up to 3.50 metres literally disappears into the huge watertight stern locker to be easily moved with a lift system integrated into the carbon boom. All the halyards and sheets of the Y7 run hidden up to the steering columns, where the helmsman can handle the navigation even on solo. Probably the only 70 feet that allows it also thanks to the twin engines. A rigging without backstay allows the use of a square-headed mainsail, improving the profile and increasing the sail area. The cockpit, characterized by great versatility, includes on portside perfectly concealed into the seats, independent access to the crew quarters. With the optional lifting keel Y7’s drought may vary from 3.90 to 2.70 m.

Interior design

Interior customization is one of the key principles of Y7. Depending on whether you love sailing alone or with the crew, whether you are racing or cruising, Y Yachts has thought of a layout that is right for you. This is without forgetting the comfort of the staff: the “crew cabin” has a separate entrance from the cockpit (aft left), two berths and an independent bathroom with shower, sink and toilet.

There are five different layouts proposed for Y7. Should any needs arise, the boatyard is always open to customized solutions.

THE REAL CHALLENGE IS TO REDUCE A YACHT TO HER ESSENTIALS. MICHAEL SCHMIDT Y YACHTS BY MICHA E L S CH MIDT YACH TB AU The origin of YYachts by Michael Schmidt Yachtbau is one of the many success stories of its founder Michael Schmidt. He, himself a passionate regatta sailor and boat builder, set the key data: a yacht must be fast, light & easy to sail. The Y7 is the result of this philosophy and has lots of innovations on board. Have a look and get inspired!

The Y7 was created in collaboration with US designer Bill Tripp, considered one of the world‘s best naval architects. Our goal was to combine comfortable sailing with competitive sailing performance, even on the regatta course. In conditions where other yachts still use their engines, the sails are already set on the Y7. The displacement of less than 29 tons has been reached by using carbon composite and lightweight materials. This makes the yacht move quickly even in lightest winds. Draft fixed keel telescopic keel Displacement (light ship) Gennaker (only with extended bowsprit) Fuel Tank...

The furling system, anchor and helm station are elegantly integrated into the exterior look created by Bill Tripp. Twin engines and a bow thruster allow easy maneuvering, even in tight marinas. The handling of the Y7 is surprisingly easy. The dinghy up to 3.50 metres disappears in a tender garage and is moved with a lifting system integrated in the carbon boom. The dinghy garage is completely dry and is easily accessed from deck and contains all equipment and watertoys. YYachts uses synthetic teak on deck which is long lasting, light and eco friendly.

All halyards and sheets on the Y7 run hidden to the helmstation. The helmsman operates the Y7 himself – probably the only 70 footer on the market. As there is no backstay, the square headed mainsail has a better profile and more sail area. The cockpit has a high variety of uses. On the portside there is a full size companionway into the crew quarters invisibly integrated in the aft cockpit settees.

You create your yacht together with our team, whether you prefer an open galley, the kitchen closed or an additional bar?

Master Suite: Sleep in comfort wherever you are. Guest accommodation: Enjoy your yacht with family and friends. Choose your layout from the variety of our proposals with up to 5 cabins.

Main salon: Smoked oak, white stained oak, teak, American walnut – we have the variety to make your yacht your home.

The salon has a full size chart table and all major functions centralized. The dining table seats up to eight and you‘ll find a cosy sofa on portside. Our architect created the Y7 interior with a Scandinavian hygge factor.

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.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
