2024 YYachts Y8

The Y8 is a 78-foot sailing yacht built by YYachts to prioritize efficient performance with straightforward operation. Designed by Javier Jaudenes, she features a lightweight carbon structure paired with a manageable sail plan that delivers fast cruising speeds while requiring minimal crew. The deck layout is clean and uncluttered, with systems engineered for simplicity rather than complexity. A single Yanmar diesel engine of 195 horsepower provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 8.5 knots and a maximum speed of 10 knots.

Below deck, the interior was created by designer David Thulstrup and reflects contemporary aesthetics with a calm, refined atmosphere. The yacht is configured with four cabins and four heads, suited to both private cruising and extended offshore passages. The layout balances comfort with functional living spaces designed for extended time at sea.

This Y8 has been meticulously maintained since delivery, with professional care and upkeep throughout her operational history. Her construction and systems reflect a philosophy centered on usability and genuine sailing capability, appealing to owners who prioritize both design clarity and performance over unnecessary complexity.
