YYACHTS DELIVERS "VEGAS BABY"
 
 
Greifswald shipyard hands over the first yacht this spring, a stylish Y8.
Three more models will follow until summer.
 
YYachts in Greifswald will hand over four yachts to their owners this spring. The start was recently made with "Vegas Baby". This stylish 24-meter sloop is currently completing sea trials on the Baltic Sea off Greifswald with her crew.
 
 
 
The construction and the sporty, timeless exterior styling are the work of Lorenzo Argento. The Italian comments on his work as follows:
"This project is a nice example of how a good design brief comes to fruition. We have slightly redesigned the hull compared to our original Y8 design, especially at the rear by redefining the stern geometry and the control console. The cockpit also offers slightly greater protection as a result of these measures."
 
Inside, the owner of the "Vegas Baby" drew inspiration from a previously built Y8. Francesca Modica of YYachts' design team says, "The customer liked `Makai` so much that `Vegas Baby` got a very similar interior. We only modified the crew mess and galley a bit."
 
Overall, the interior designed by Design Unlimited can be described as very modern - light woods contrast with a dark floor and gray fabrics.
 
 
Dirk Zademack, Managing Partner at YYachts, comments, "It was a lot of fun to build this stylish yacht. Also `Vegas Baby` fulfills our philosophy of light, fast, luxurious and easy to handle vessels; she will turn heads in any Mediterranean marina."
By summer, YYachts will be launching two more Y7 models and a 90-foot custom yacht with a design by Bill Tripp and an interior design by Winch Design.

ABOUT YYACHTS:
 
YYachts is one of many success stories of its founder Michael Schmidt. Schmidt, himself a passionate regatta sailor and boat builder, was privately looking for a yacht. Since he was unable to find what he was looking for either in new yachts or on the brokerage market, he decided to build his ideal vessel himself. This idea gave birth to the Brenta 80 "Cool Breeze" and, in 2016, to the YYachts brand. YYachts models are created exclusively from carbon composite in Ladebow/Greifwald on the Baltic Sea. In a modern, completely newly built production facility, YYachts manufactures sailing yachts up to 33 meters in length. Its own automated paint shop enables it to paint yachts in almost any color, or anneal yachts made of prepreg at up to 90 degrees Celsius. The YYachts portfolio currently consists of the Y7, Y8 and Y9 models; the Custom Division builds completely individual designs. All of them are united by Michael Schmidt's motto: "Fun sailing comes from a simple ship that is reduced to the bare essentials without sacrificing comfort."
