Germany-based yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> has unveiled new interior renderings of the 23.99-metre Y8 Custom sailing yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266202/image/large-bfa9fd4c5a52d7c3dc311d0d6d0266cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266202">In 2015, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> and founder Michael Schmidt developed the 23.98-metre sloop <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cool Breeze23.98m (78'8&quot;)YYachts 2015">Cool Breeze</a>, the first in the Y8 series, which has been continuously developed further over the years. There are now 10 different layouts available for the series, allowing owners to tailor her to their own needs.&nbsp;The Y8 Custom yacht has been commissioned by an experienced owner, who has enlisted renowned architect and designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7459" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio David Thulstrup (Company)">David Thulstrup</a> to design the interior. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7459" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio David Thulstrup (Company)">David Thulstrup</a> is known for his holistic approach to architecture, interiors and product design combined with his Scandinavian heritage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296169/image/large-248783a322c6b5db5b564a1324798943.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296169">“By taking a holistic approach to each aspect of a project, David creates spaces where people are comfortable and embraced by their surroundings,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a>. Her interior will showcase warm beiges, browns and wood tones to create a cosy ambience that is both relaxing and elegant.&nbsp;A plank-like floor visually connects the exterior with the interior, while narrow flat windows and the surrounding windows of the flat Y8 superstructure provide brightness. The Y8 Custom yacht features fewer bulkheads than all the Y8 yachts already delivered, which makes it possible to configure her spaces a bit differently.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296172/image/large-56af3b3f330347a3e8cae76dd1a879bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296172">The crew occupy the stern, in front of two ensuite guest staterooms for up to four guests. The central design of the Y8 yacht is her saloon, which is divided into a lounge with big sofas on both sides and a dining area with a table for six to eight guests. The dining area can also be separated with sliding doors to create a very private area or even an office.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266203/image/large-120cabb9c495a909466ed3ccaac0c6df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266203">The exterior and technical design of the yacht are the work of Javier Jaudenenes and the experienced <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a> team, who have already designed numerous fast cruisers for performance-oriented owners.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296170/image/large-25f848c865cb9b4acd9d0887c77b3d2f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296170">The new Y8 Custom yacht features a wider stern and her mast is set further back. "The jib will provide a lot of speed. A lot of R&amp;D results from previous projects have gone into the Y8,” explained Javier Jaudenes. “It is an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions. The fact that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> builds from carbon naturally suits our philosophy.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/266205/image/large-7fdb2edd7aa5f833f4c42d195b79e722.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/266205">“Every owner can bring in their own preferences - the Y8 Custom interior is very much a blank sheet of paper and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> team is available to offer a more tailored and refined experience,” concluded Michael Schmidt.&nbsp;The Y8 Custom yacht has an expected delivery date of Spring 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296171/image/large-3c4d6a56e6a4c2784f324afd42c0407e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296171">
