From 16 to 18 May, the YYachts shipyard in Greifswald welcomed customers, interested parties and friends of the company through its doors. It was a weekend full of impressions, personal encounters and extraordinary sailing moments.
The day began with a guided tour of the shipyard. With four yachts currently under construction — two Y7s, a Y8 and a Y9 — at various stages of completion, guests were given an exclusive insight into the creation of our yachts, from empty carbon hulls to ready-to-sail dream yachts. There were plenty of opportunities to chat to our team and our experienced boatbuilders in a relaxed atmosphere.
A special highlight awaited guests in Greifswald harbour: the impressive Y7 Arcturus was ready to offer an unparalleled sailing experience. Despite the typical northern German weather, with ideal conditions and up to 18 knots of wind, the 70-foot yacht demonstrated its potential with aplomb. Every guest was, of course, allowed to take the helm themselves, to experience the exceptional performance of a YYacht first-hand and to feel what we mean by light, comfortable and sporty sailing.
There was great enthusiasm on board: even experienced sailors were surprised at how easy it was to operate and manoeuvre a ship of this size. Immediately after setting sail, the yacht effortlessly accelerated to over 8.5 knots on the wind — an experience that resulted in beaming faces and an abundance of endorphins.
YYachts CEO Sven Göbel accompanied our guests throughout the day:
‘At YYachts, our customers become part of the family. Personal dialogue is very important to us. I really enjoyed the discussions and took away many valuable suggestions.’
