Defined by its Javier Jaudenes design and minimalist-Scandinavian interiors by David Thulstrup, the YYachts Y8 “Calabash” represents the latest evolution in modern performance cruising. Delivered in 2024 and maintained for boat shows and sea trials, this vessel utilizes a full-carbon hull, deck, mast, and boom to keep displacement under 40 tons, ensuring exceptional agility.
The sail plan is engineered for simplified handling, featuring Harken electric winches, a hydraulic headsail halyard tensioner, and a Bamar electric Code 0 furler. The 2024 Doyle sail inventory includes a square-top mainsail, a self-tacking jib, a Code 0, and two gennakers, providing a versatile range for various conditions. Propulsion is handled by twin Yanmar 4LV-195 hp engines, assisted by retractable bow and stern thrusters for precise maneuverability.
Designed for comfortable Mediterranean cruising, the interior accommodates guests across four cabins with three ensuite baths. The layout highlights a full-beam owner’s suite forward, two central guest cabins, and a dedicated crew area with independent access aft. Onboard amenities include a Fischer Panda 19 kW generator, 62,000 BTU air conditioning, and a Schenker 150 l/h watermaker. The galley is equipped with high-end features such as a Quooker hot and sparkling water tap and dual drawer refrigerators.
Technical integration is comprehensive, featuring dual B&G 16-inch plotters, Nemesis displays, and a Halo 20+ radar. Connectivity is maintained via a Peplink 5G router, complemented by a Sonos audio system throughout the salon and cockpit. Exterior utility is enhanced by a 3.7-meter tender garage, a folding carbon passerelle, and a fixed bimini on carbon supports with Sunbrella cushions.
