Y Not -

Strong Performance and Luxurious comfort on this Bruce Farr designed Beauty

Naval Architects Bruce Farr & Associates teamed with designer Olivier Flahault and CIM of Rochefort, France to produce the Sailing Yacht Y Not, a Maxi 78 combining strong sailing performance with modern, art deco styling. A performance winged keel allows close in anchoring in the Islands’ many shallow harbors and bays.  A fully-battened main and roller furled foresail is the perfect setup for enjoying the consistent breezes of the Caribbean.  The separate sailing cockpit with helm and hydraulic winches provides guests an ultimate sailing experience without the imposition of too many crew. The hydraulically operated transom door opens to dramatically reveal teak stairs to the swimming platform with hot & cold fresh water shower and LED Courtesy Lights.

Macassar Ebony Parquet Soles, Pearwood Veneers and White Leather Deckheads enhance the true Super Yacht look and feel. Highly polished stainless steel port covers and chainplates shine in sunlight streaming through large coachroof windows.  A 40” LED TV provides a reassuring mix of technology with traditional nautical design.  The guest bar and wide open galley allows interested guests to participate in cocktail, hors d’oeuvres and meal preparation.

The owner’s full-width cabin features queen size bed, dual closets and dresser drawers.  Leather-fronted lockers offer additional storage.  Two en suite bathrooms provide a full shower to port and toilet to starboard.  A matching leather writing desk is one of many art deco yet practical features.
The two en suite guest cabins convert from single queen to double twin beds with stainless steel port covers, closets, leather-fronted lockers and louvered air-conditioning vents identical to the owner’s cabin. All living spaces benefit from the 2011 installation of new air conditioning with customizable digital controls and more than twice as many designer outlets providing excess charging capacity for iPods, laptops and cell phones.
