Together with his wife Cath and sons Chris, Ben and Ollie, Peter Hrones is working on a new venture, Carbon Yachts, which sources iconic yachts with a focus on the future.
YYachts continues to develop its line with a new version of the yacht that started it all, the Y8, featuring a larger interior volume but all the same performance sailing characteristics.
Specialising in luxury carbon sailing yachts from 70-100ft, Germany’s YYachts has launched its custom-built Tripp 90, which features an exterior by Bill Tripp and a richly detailed interior by Winch Design – and will be followed by the Y9 model in 2022. By John Higginson.
Bill Tripp and Winch Design combine to stunning effect on YYacht’s latest carbon build. Yachting Word’s Toby Hodges toured this bespoke YYachts Tripp 90 during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021.
Yacht builder Michael Schmidt Yachtbau (also known as Y Yachts) has added a touch of Scandinavian design to his latest creation, 70-foot S/Y Bella. Teaming with Danish design company Norm Architects, the two have crafted a state of the art sailing yacht that’s minimal in design, yet contemporary in appearance.
The Brenta 80 SRD (semi raised decksaloon) is a fast Cruising Yacht built in Carbon. The aft deck for sailing and handling the boat, a large cockpit dedicated for a relaxing time on board. The semi raised saloon with a full glass panoramic vision from inside out set a new standard in off shore cruising. The joy for fast sailing, Italian design and build in Germany.
The owner of a newly delivered Y7 from Germany’s YYachts explains why he chose the German-built carbon 70-footer for long-distance cruising with his family.
