YYachts is setting a new standard in sailing yacht design by offering square-top mainsails as standard on its Y7 and Y8 models. This breakthrough innovation is a first in the industry, delivering unmatched performance benefits for sailing enthusiasts. While square-tops are typically reserved as optional upgrades, YYachts has taken the bold step to make them standard, redefining the experience for performance-oriented yacht owners.
The square-top mainsail isn’t just about adding sail area; it’s a game-changer in geometry and efficiency. Traditional mainsails often underperform in their upper third due to the short chord length, limiting their ability to harness wind power. With a square-top design, this inefficiency is eliminated, enabling the sail to capture more wind at higher altitudes, where wind speeds are naturally greater due to reduced drag from the water’s surface. This translates into more power, smoother handling, and a significant boost in overall sailing performance.
