ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2023 Winner of “Best Sailboat” at the Newport International Boat Show

Shipyard / Interior Design:
Michael Schmidt Yachtbau, dba YYachts, Germany

Naval Architect/Exterior Designer:
Tripp Design Naval Architecture, USA and The Netherlands

Structural Engineering: AMS, Italy

Arcturus is hull n. 17 of Y/Yachts Shipyard’s successful Y7 series. She was created in collaboration with US designer Bill Tripp, who is responsible for her contemporary and minimalistic design.

This carbon-built lightweight sailing yacht combines performance, relaxed cruising, and sophisticated comfort—appealing to the discerning buyer seeking both quality and elegance.

Like many fast-sailing yachts, Arcturus features a wide stern equipped with a twin rudder, while the two Nanni 80hp engines ensure excellent handling, even in marinas.

Her light displacement (just 29 tons) and nearly 300 m² of sail area keep the Y7 moving even with little wind. Thanks to her excellent maneuverability, she is perfect for an owner/operator or small crew, making her ideal for cruising with family or a small group of friends.

Her welcoming and sophisticated interior is built from veneer and lightweight materials. She accommodates 6 guests in 3 well-conceived cabins.
