The German shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> has started working on constructing their latest flagship model Y9, with the first unit already sold and named Paula. The new sailing yacht is due for delivery in summer 2021.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168128/image/large-0498176522fc7f17d57b087b0377fbf2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168128">With an overall length of 27.4-metres, the Y9 is a lightweight sailing yacht designed with a no-frills layout and only essential features. The exteriors come from the drawing boards of Bill Tripp of the American studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tripp Design Naval Architects (Company)">Tripp Design Naval Architects</a> while the interiors are a collaboration between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5974" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Norm Architects (Company)">Norm Architects</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a>.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YYachts (Company)">YYachts</a> founder Michael Schmidt says, "With her length of 90 feet, the yacht has an interesting rating and is for sure able to win some trophies at the St Barths Bucket, the Superyacht Cup or the Maxi Rolex Cup".According to Michael Schmidt, several discussions with various superyacht owners were influential for the development of the Y9, "Actually, customers were interested in 100 feet in length. However, from this size upwards - in my experience - yachts become disproportionately expensive because many custom-built components have to be installed. With our expertise, we have therefore implemented the comfort of a 100-foot yacht on a length of 90 feet. With our new Y9 we are entering the superyacht segment.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168126/image/large-dbe06682072c9dc9d08683a83e793891.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168126">Built completely from carbon fibre to optimise performance, she has a transversely arranged tender garage in the stern and a separate owner's apartment which consists of a private saloon, a dressing room, a bedroom and a bathroom with double washbasin including a separate shower.&nbsp;Katrine Goldstein, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5974" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Norm Architects (Company)">Norm Architects</a>, says, "The Y9 already follows the award-winning Y7 in its design, but is much more complex and goes deeper. The Y9 will also be a luxurious retreat to get away from the constant stimulation that our everyday lives bring.”&nbsp;Mark Tucker, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> added, "Clients will appreciate the authenticity of our design and the sustainable materials we recommend. People are increasingly orienting themselves towards nature: taking from nature and giving back to nature. This principle is particularly pervasive in the luxury market." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168127/image/large-12e1ccdc17c5fea42b30594134513819.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168127">The Y9 model offers two interior layout options which can be customized to suit the owners’ needs. The interiors designed by the two studios have a "soft minimalist" theme with oiled oak and grey fabrics throughout. The crew areas have been designed to be larger than the norm, with additional storage space and a crew lounge made available. The multi-purpose crew areas allow for the captain’s cabin to also be used as the crew lounge during the day.&nbsp;

His brief and list of requirements for the refit works focussed on three main areas:General style:&nbsp;The yacht’s previous style featured many different materials, including several types of wood. By using the Milan-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Yachts</a>, the owner wanted to marry the two decks by toning down the interior style and make the yacht’s wood-heavy, classic decor less overpowering and more welcoming. With regards to the exterior, the owner wanted to enhance the yacht’s modern lines with a cleaner, sleeker look.Layout:&nbsp;Without changing the yacht’s volumes, the layout was to be optimised. A redesign of the upper and lower areas of the saloon would create an open-plan space, providing a better connection between the two areas, and improving both comfort and the perception of space for guests.&nbsp;Owner’s cabin:&nbsp;The final major request from the owner was to redesign his forward cabin to make both the perceived and real space larger and more comfortable.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/88525/image/large-9b4ef404049ed1e456e5dc43b2e65edf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/88525"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/88529/image/large-ed13f2fc92b7fbf77e168e96ffe5aa69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/88529"> The worksThe owner brought together <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tripp Design Naval Architects (Company)">Tripp Design</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

The team started off by carefully removing the yacht’s original guest interior, the Fibre Mechanics team then began the modification work to the bulkhead structures in the owner’s cabin, the removal of the cuddy on the aft deck and the enlargement of the 11 portholes in the guest accommodation. &nbsp;&nbsp;In brief, the key changes to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="G239.0m (127'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2009">G2</a> during her rebuild included the following:<ul><li>Two large skylights were cut into the roof of the main saloon, adding natural light into the yacht’s interior. A single pane of tempered glass was mounted lengthwise on the deckhouse’s central longitudinal beam to make the skylight appear to be divided into two sections when viewed from below.</li><li>The hallway mast was previously hidden in a cupboard which made the hallway seem very long. The cupboard was removed to reveal the mast to help proportion the hall and add a ‘marine’ style to the space.&nbsp;</li><li>The upper and lower parts of the saloon were originally very separate. To open up the area and connect the saloon to the dining area, the high backing on some furnishings was removed and a transparent balustrade was installed. The TV area benefitted from the addition of a U-shaped sofa and a fully equipped bar was installed to the starboard part of the upper saloon.&nbsp;</li><li>The cuddy was removed on the aft deck and extensive composite works were carried out to create a new aft deck layout with a flush open deck feel, complete with new sun pads and an extended guest outdoor dining area.</li><li>The superstructure and rig were resprayed metallic Sandelwood Silver.</li><li>40% of the deck was replaced with new teak with all the caulking removed and changed from black to grey.</li><li>The original 11 portlights in the guest areas were made larger to brighten the accommodation.&nbsp;</li><li>All original guest accommodation was removed and replaced with a modern and contemporary interior featuring light bleached oak designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

This required the structural bulkhead in the owner’s cabin to be moved to increase the footprint of the area.&nbsp;</li><li>The bed arrangements were rearranged in both the starboard and portside guest cabin. All ensuite bathrooms were also updated.</li><li>The bilge and fire systems were replaced throughout the yacht - a complicated process involving the removal of tanks and large elements of the crew accommodation during installation.</li><li>New Amtico flooring, fridges and a floating carbon staircase were added to the crew area.</li><li>The 10-year class special survey was completed.</li><li>Upgraded fresh water system provided potable water and decreased the use and necessity of plastic bottles.</li><li>The shore power converter and main switchboard dief hardware were upgraded.</li><li>New carbon fibre EC6 rigging was installed and sailing instruments were upgraded.</li><li>AVIT, NAVCOM and Communication Systems were replaced and upgraded.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/88531/image/large-4cfb4ebc697cf698bd6b49131c3aadd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/88531"></li></ul> The outcomeOver 120 of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>’ in-house and highly skilled tradespeople worked for 11 months on refitting <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="G239.0m (127'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2009">G2</a>.
