Y7

Bill Tripp’s Y 7 bears a signature of the most internationally recognized. The design focus for the Y7 has been on marine and comfortable sailing behaviour combined with performance capable of shining in international racing circuits. Y 7 is a boat that one can travel the world and get great satisfaction on the racing course.

A displacement of only 29 tons and almost 300 of upwind sail area that becomes 700 downwind, guarantee performance and fun sailing even in lightest winds. The yacht is made of carbon and is also equipped with a carbon mast and boom as standard. To complete her extreme manageability, twin engines have been designed for trouble-free manoeuvring even in small ports.

“The Y7 is full of innovations and at the same time, pared back to the essentials. An owner”, says shipyard founder Michael Schmidt, “should be able to operate their yacht intuitively. It should not be too complex but comfortable at the same time.
The Y7 achieves all this and more”.
